I remember that device when it first was available in J.C. Penney stores. As zenithfan1 and holmesuser01 said, its one stereo-system-specific use was to display the audio from your speakers as a graphic waveform on the 5" CRT. Other than that, it was just a 5" B&W TV in a really nice cabinet that matched typical stereo components of the late 70's. I think it also has line outputs so you can feed TV audio into your stereo system. The original price was about US$200, if I remember right.
Akai also had a stereo-component-style TV in the mid or late 80's; it had a 4" color screen and a black cabinet (matching the stereo components of THAT period). A friend of mine has or had one about ten years ago; I don't think he still has it.
