DENON DRR-60

Commentary

Auto-reverse deck with an amorphous head.

Uses a quick reverse mechanism.
During recording, when the end of the tape is near, the infrared sensor catches the lead tape portion, inverts the tape at high speed, and makes one round trip automatically. During playback, you can also play the tape five times continuously for a long time.
In addition, the mechanism is computer-controlled, and smooth operation is achieved by controlling the mechanical control and counter display function with a microcomputer integrated into one chip.

Amorphous head is used for recording and re-rotating head.
The core material of this head is an amorphous alloy with excellent high-frequency characteristics and abrasion resistance, and the coil wire of the head is PC-OCC, which improves MOL characteristics and achieves wide high-frequency characteristics.

It is equipped with a newly developed cassette stabilizer, C. C. C. S (Ceramic Composite Cassette Stabilizer).
This stabilizer uses ceramic composite material and special silicon rubber to reduce the modulation noise by suppressing the micro vibration of the cassette half.

Equipped with the Dolby HX Pro, the bias from the oscillator is lowered when the input signal contains many high frequency components, so that the high frequency characteristics can be improved while the effective bias value of the middle and low frequency ranges is always kept at an appropriate value.

Equipped with Dolby B/C NR as a noise reduction system.

Equipped with FL peak meter and digital counter with memory stop mechanism.
This digital counter uses a magnetic pulse detection system that does not impose any load on the rotation of the reel, and displays the position of the tape with a four digit number.

It uses a non-slip reel drive mechanism that maintains the appropriate tension of the tape. As a result, there is no mechanical friction between the motor and the take-up reel stand. This prevents noise and aging during the take-up of the tape, and enables uniform constant speed running from the beginning to the end of the tape.

DC amplifier configuration is used for both recording and playback amplifiers.
The playback equalizer amplifier uses an integrated circuit for the L and R channels to greatly reduce the noise level generated in the amplifier section. In addition, the amplifier is directly connected to the playback head to eliminate the coupling capacitor, thereby eliminating the degradation of low-frequency characteristics.
The power supply section uses ± 2 power supply configuration, and by supplying high voltage and high stability power, the saturation level of the amplifier section is raised, and wide dynamic range is obtained.

Equipped with a REC return key, the computer memorizes the starting position of the recording and automatically returns to the original starting position to enter the standby state.

Equipped with a bias fine adjuster that can fine-tune the differences between individual tapes.

Equipped with Music Search.

It is equipped with an auto recording space function that automatically creates a 4-second interval between songs.

Equipped with output level control which can also adjust the volume of headphones.

Equipped with a balance volume, L/R recording level can be adjusted.

Equipped with an auto tape selector that automatically selects TypeI/II/IV.

Equipped with MPX filter switch, it can prevent malfunction of Dolby system by cutting off 19 khz signal of FM signal.
This filter is automatically disabled when the Dolby B/C NR is not used.

Wireless remote control is included.
