Commentary

Stereo cassette deck with silky touch operation.

Uses silky touch operation with 0.3 mm operation button stroke length.

The Sendust head has been adopted for the head and the sound quality has been improved by designing the laminate structure with excellent high-frequency characteristics.
The recording amplifier has a linearity of 20 dB (1 kHz, 0 VU) so that it can be used with metal tapes.

A dual motor drive system is used for the mechanism.

In addition to the VU meter, it is equipped with 5 peak indicators in 3 colors.
This indicator lists the maximum level for each tape type and enables recording of the optimum level by simultaneous checking with the VU meter.

Equipped with a tape level meter that displays the remaining amount of tape on the meter.

Equipped with auto repeat and memory repeat mechanism.

Equipped with a synchro operation mechanism.

You can fine-tune the bias of the LH tape.

Equipped with a rec mute mechanism.

Equipped with a pure electronic full autostop mechanism to protect the tape and mechanism.

Equipped with a Dolby system.

An oil dump ejection mechanism is adopted.

Equipped with timer standby mechanism, and by connecting an external timer, absence recording and alarm clock playback are possible.
