VIC-1510 monitor specs: need translation from Japanese

Hi folks,

I've recently updated the Denial WIKI article on the VIC-1510 monitor with some scans of pages describing it. One provides detailed specifications on the monitor, but they are in Japanese. Can anyone translate these?

If you need higher resolution, the original PDF is available here:

Thanks!

I will ask my brother-in-law and see if he can help out with the translation.

That would be great. It would really go a long way to finally understanding the details of this monitor.

Not sure if you got a translation yet, but this is the right part which is the tech specs. I will only translate the rest of it, if you still want it.

Dots should be pixel, but I left it as the literal translation.

The middle bit says (although there are one or two things I was not sure about).

14-inch colour monitor that is designed for the VIC-1000 personal computer series.

You can enjoy the rich clear sound by high-reliability design speaker.

The world of the VIC, more vivid and more crisp and expansion (however the literal translation is spread but the kanji can also mean expansion...).

With monitor cable.

Since the VIC-1510 is a composite video system, you can use household VTR (aka VCR), even as a colour monitor for the video disk (Laserdisc).
