A 32-page booklet covering Sony’s July 1998 lineup across CD players, Video CD, LD, cassette decks, and DAT decks. The CD section spans from the flagship CDP-XA7ES with fixed optical mechanism and current-pulse DAC to the slim CDP-S35 (280 mm wide, designed to match the MDS-S39 MD deck), plus the CDP-CX200F MegaStorage 200-disc changer and the CDP-CE515 five-disc carousel. Cassette decks range from the reference TC-KA7ES with Lapis sapphire capstan bearing down to the twin-deck TC-WR965S and TC-WE805S. The DAT section is led by DTC-2000ES with four heads and direct-drive capstan at 200,000 yen. Noteworthy extras: LD players including the Hi-Vision HIL-C2EX, and the SAU-450CC converter for using VHS video heads with Video CD and karaoke discs.
