YAMAHA Interior-44 (IS-44) (1976)

Introducing a stereo that pursues simple beauty and easy operability in every aspect. Knobs that are not normally used can be stored in a sealed pocket, and the main switch uses a light push button. Its compact design is the result of careful attention to layout. The player, speakers, and amplifier sections each embody the most advanced essence of Yamaha's established component technology, yet this mechanical presence is subtly encapsulated in a sophisticated off-white finish, transporting sound to private rooms. Features include a sealed pocket for stashing seldom-used connectors, a digital clock with an auto-timer so you can sleep while listening to late-night radio broadcasts, and a charming, bead-like indicator that stands alone in the darkness. The components featured are unique to this system and can be extended with some Yamaha classic components as listed below. There were actually three different system manufactured between 1974-1976. These were the Interior-22/Interior-44/Interior-66 and presented as part of the IS Series from Yamaha.
