Commentary
A stereo cassette deck that inherits the drive part of the high-grade machine and adopts an upright hold mechanism.
It uses a DC-motor with a built-in generator with less torque ripple and vibration. It also uses a precisely finished capstan, 70 mm fly-wheel and flat belt to obtain stable rotational performance.
In addition, six blades are used for the reel to stabilize tape travel, and play between the reel and the hub is suppressed to realize stable tape travel.
Equipped with a 3-step switching type tape selector.
The bias is set for with a detection hole is installed, the bias is set for Chrome. When a tape without a detection hole such as Standard or Ferrichrome tape is installed, the bias is automatically set for STD/Fe-Cr.
The equalizer is manually set to STD/Fe-Cr/CrO2You can choose from 3 types.
Equipped with a noise filter that can cut hissing.
Equipped with a stereo / mono automatic switching type microphone jack.
Equipped with a full auto-stop mechanism that employs a Hall element.
