Commentary

Metal tape compatible cassette deck with CVC3 head.

The head section uses the CVC3 head system, which is a further development of the 3-head system. This reduces the contour effect and improves the low-frequency characteristics, as well as the high-frequency characteristics.
In addition, Sendust is used for the head material.

Equipped with bias fine adjustment knob, different characteristics can be adjusted depending on the tape.

In addition to the VU meter, it is equipped with 5 peak indicators in 3 colors.
The peak indicator shows the maximum level for each tape type.

A dual motor drive system is used for the mechanism.

Equipped with auto-repeat and memory repeat functions.

Equipped with a rec mute mechanism.

Equipped with a synchro operation mechanism.

Equipped with an illumination lamp with a tape end marker.

Equipped with double Dolby system.

Equipped with an oil dump ejection mechanism.

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