SANYO’s October 1986 general catalog, 20 pages covering boomboxes, portable players, karaoke systems, telephones and radios. The cover shows Japanese actress Saori Yagi with the Surround U4 boombox and the tagline “this sound holds me.” The main story of the issue is CD built into a boombox: SANYO promotes the MR-U4CD at ¥69,800 as a new way to play favorite tracks at home or on the go. The 4WD Surround U4 series with its detachable subwoofer unit and 15-watt output takes up the central spreads, followed by JJ headphone stereos with TV tuner and monitor speaker for those who want to catch TV stereo audio out of the house. The catalog closes with a spread on PAT home karaoke systems and a page of SANYO-brand cassette tapes.
