Commentary

This stereo cassette deck realizes 20 kHz characteristics, which is difficult even for high-grade 3-head decks with 2 heads.

The Sendust laminated core is used for the recording and reproducing head after careful examination of various characteristics.
The unique manufacturing method that does not stress the core makes the best use of the material.
The erasing head is a double-gap type with a low-mass ferrite core.

Equipped with a microprocessor controlled silent mechanism.
A precision grade motor operates the head assembly, pinch roller and reel brake to prevent misalignment of the precisely positioned head alignment.
The microprocessor controls the operation so that the tape and mechanism are not damaged by sudden changes in operation.

The amplifier circuit is composed of dual mono construction to prevent mutual interference.
The recording amplifier is equipped with a total of 12 adjustment circuits to bring out the capacity of the tape.

The power supply section uses a multi-regulated power supply system to eliminate noise interference between circuits.

Dolby B/C type noise reduction is installed.

It includes functions such as bias fine adjustment volume, MPX filter with defeat, Oatley peat, timer recording / playback mechanism and rec mute.
