Commentary
A stereo cassette deck with excellent basic characteristics.
Equipped with a DNL system as a noise reduction system, the overall SN ratio can be improved by 2 to 3 dB by simply turning on the switch during playback.
Also, tape hissing can be cut effectively.
Equipped with a tape selector with position for Ferrichrome tape only.
The tape selector is an independent 3-step switching system in which the bias and equalizer can be switched to 3 steps independently. You can use normal tapes, Hi-Fi tapes (LH) lh), and chrome tapes in the optimum condition.
In addition, the FeCr tape position is equipped so that you can enjoy sound quality with less distortion.
The head uses a Permalloy head made of ultra-hard Permalloy material.
The mechanism is driven by a DC-servo motor, large flywheel, and ultra-long life flat belt.
Equipped with a Quick Review / Cue System that is convenient for tracking tapes.
Equipped with a full auto-stop mechanism that does not burden the mechanism or tape.
Equipped with a playback volume whose playback level can be adjusted.
