Sales brochure for the Sony SL-J30 Betamax, a linear stereo version of the SL-J10 chassis. Scans also available in a ZIP. Click photos for full size
The SL-J30 is based on the prior SL-J20 with wireless receiver and linear stereo. In addition to advertising the J30, the leaflet is also the "Magazine for Video Boys" and has some information about Sony tapes
This spread mostly talks about some of the reasons you might want to use a video recorder in general - making sure you do not miss a show, being able to rewind and pause a sports player's movements, or recording a library of music performances
Features of the SL-J30 including the stereo sound (Beta hi-fi was still a few years away, so this is linear stereo) and some accessories like headphones and the separate wireless remote.
A little bit about Sony's home video library and other products like storage carts and racks
