ソニー「ESコンポーネントシステムカタログ」・昭和60年12月

A folded A3 sheet - the Sony ES Components catalog from December 1985. The center spread presents two complete systems: ES SYSTEM 1 built around the TA-F555ES integrated amplifier (¥99,800) with the ST-S333ES tuner and TC-K555ES cassette deck, and ES SYSTEM 2 centered on the CDP-302ES CD player.

The back page covers the rest of the ES lineup: the TC-WR930 dual cassette deck with auto-reverse, two turntables - the PS-X556ES with a linear tracking arm and the simpler PT-D555ES - the AVH-565ES AV switcher for video components, and the APM-22ES AV speakers with Sony’s proprietary flat APM drivers.
