Spotted at SA: Sony KV-27AVR CD combo

[rpm1200]

Saw this at Salvation Army last month, in complete working order. It is a 27-inch TV/AM/FM/CD combo from 1987. The "TV" section is just a monitor with composite video input and power cord, no audio section or tuner. The "Receiver" section contains the radio and television tuners along with a single CD player. The NTSC tuner built into the receiver is cable-ready and has an MTS decoder. The speakers are part of the cabinet.

The receiver also handles the on-screen display. Unlike most contemporary Sony TVs which had primarily green OSD, the on-screen display is white with back borders. I assume this is because it was easier to implement without direct access to the RGB signals.

Was this Sony's only attempt at a combo? It's certainly the only one I've ever seen.
