A six-panel DENOX leaflet with a clever fold: the right flap is turned in, so you first read the spread of panels 2 and 5, then the flap unfolds into the 2-4 panorama. DENON is entering video under the DENOX sub-brand and pitches the LA-900 LaserVision player as a replacement for the VCR: a diode laser that never touches the disc, over 350 lines of horizontal resolution, search by frame and chapter number, frame-by-frame stepping for studying a golf or tennis swing. The back panel carries the LA-900 and AVC-500 spec table plus the rest of the DENOX line: the VA-75 Hi-Fi VHS deck, an amplifier, a CD player, speakers, a TV with a 2000-character display and a 26-inch monitor.
- レーザービジョン - LaserVision - the optical videodisc format; picture and sound are read by a laser without touching the disc
- 半導体レーザー ピックアップ / LASER DIODE TRACER - diode-laser pickup: reads 1.6-micron pits with no contact, so the disc never wears
- フロントローディング方式 - front disc loading, 420 mm wide cabinet, stacks with other components
- CAV(標準ディスク) - constant angular velocity at 1800 rpm: frame search and clean freeze-frame
- CLV(長時間ディスク) - constant linear velocity 1800-600 rpm: longer playing time (EXTENDED PLAY DISC)
- ランダム・アクセス(フレーム/チャプター/タイムナンバーサーチ) - jump to a scene by frame number, chapter number or elapsed time

- 静止/コマ送り - noise-free freeze-frame and frame-by-frame stepping forward and back
- 2点間リピート再生(A-REPEAT-B) - repeat play between two set points, up to 256 times
- CXノイズリダクションシステム - noise reduction for CX-marked discs, engaged automatically when a disc is loaded; 70 dB S/N
