The cover states this is the world’s first stereo system with automatic two-sided record playback. The system includes a cassette deck, FM/AM tuner and integrated amplifier. The inner spreads explain the Auto Disc mechanism and list functions: button controls, pause, reverse. The back page gives a comparison table for three variants - VZ-V4, VZ-V3 and VZ-V2 - with full specs and prices. The turntable in the system is branded OPTONICA, SHARP’s hi-fi sub-brand.
