Commentary
W reverse deck inherited the technology of T-700WR.
Equipped with the Dolby HX PRO, it supports the high frequency and dynamic range of digital sources.
The power supply section uses a high-speed active servo regulator to provide a stable power supply even when the music signal fluctuates rapidly.
In addition, the d-reducing cord of the oxygen-free copper is adopted.
It uses carefully selected high-quality parts such as condenser.
A cassette stabilizer is installed to suppress the vibration of the cassette half.
The cassette holder is equipped with a stabilizer that efficiently absorbs vibration and firmly holds the cassette half from both sides.
As a result, harmful vibrations are largely absorbed, and at the same time, the cassette half is firmly fixed in the correct position and sound quality is improved.
Honeycomb chassis and large insulators are used to reduce vibration from the outside.
A large FL display with various indicators is installed in the center of the front panel.
Both Deck I and II have adopted a smooth quick reverse mechanism.
