TA-600
Commentary

This is a stereo cassette deck equipped with various functions while enhancing basic performance.

With upright loading, you can check the remaining running amount of the tape and track label at a glance.
In addition, the detachable door improves maintenance, such as cleaning of the head.

A hard WIDEX head has been adopted for the head, and it has acquired about 10 times more abrasion resistance than conventional permalloy.
This head is a full-face shield type to minimize the influence of external magnetic field.

The drive section uses a DC servo motor that automatically controls the rotational speed using an electronic circuit.

Equipped with a timer standby mechanism, recording of absence and alarm clock playback are possible by combining with a separately sold timer.

Equipped with a tape selector that can switch bias and equalizer independently, it is compatible with various types of tapes.

Equipped with a full auto-stop mechanism, the mechanism automatically stops when the tape ends even during recording, playback, rewind, or fast-forward operation, so there is no excessive burden on the mechanism or tape.
