Pioneer T-333R
¥ 37,800 (released in 1989)
Commentary
A stereo cassette deck with no vibration and no resonance.
Equipped with Dolby HX PRO for faithful recording and playback of digital sources.
By detecting the high-frequency signal flowing in the recording head and controlling the bias current according to the increase or decrease of the signal, self-bias is prevented and the high-frequency characteristics are greatly improved.
The recording / reproducing head uses a laser amorphous head with LC-OFC (Linear Crystal oxygen-free copper) winding.
When vibration is transmitted to the cassette half, it generates flutter components and adversely affects sound quality. To prevent this, Pioneer has adopted its own cassette stabilizers. Special resin stabilizers are placed in the cassette holder and special rubber stabilizers are placed in the tape transport. These stabilizers hold the cassette half firmly from both sides and provide excellent anti-vibration effects.
By adopting a honeycomb chassis with high rigidity and excellent vibration damping characteristics, and a large insulator, isolation measures are taken.
It is equipped with a CD-DECK sync function, and in combination with a Pioneer CD player, it is possible to start synchronized recording and to perform auto trackback recording with one touch.
In addition to the tape counter, it is equipped with a 2-mode counter that can also be a time counter that displays the elapsed time of recording and reproducing.
It is equipped with a music search that can start up to 15 songs in both forward and backward directions.
Wireless remote control is included.
