An 8-page booklet covering three SHARP AutoDisc systems, all capable of playing both sides of a vinyl record automatically without flipping. SHARP VZ-V4 is the component system at 40W+40W; SHARP VZ-V30 is a 3-piece setup with a PLL tuner and programmable player for 155,000 yen; SHARP VZ-V20(R) brings the same idea to a portable format, with the red VZ-V20R going for 130,000 yen. A full spread explains the AutoDisc concept: the record sits in a vertical tray, APSS finds the right track, and you never need to flip the disc manually. Catalog dated September 1982, number R-231.
