Commentary
Stereo cassette deck equipped with cassette upright loading and oil dump ejection.
The tape loading mechanism adopts a cassette erecting loading system in which the cassette is set vertically erect. In addition to being easy to attach the tape, the tape is designed to take advantage of the front-side operation that allows the user to see the running state of the tape, the remaining amount of the tape, and the number of songs written on the label.
In addition, Aiwa's original oil dump mechanism is adopted for the ejection mechanism.
The tape selector has three levels of bias, three levels of recording equalizer, and two levels of playback equalizer.
In addition, the ability to switch the bias and equalizer independently increases the compatibility with various types of tapes.
If you connect a timer (sold separately) and set the deck, you can start the deck at your desired time such as recording messages or playing an alarm clock. In the standby state, the pinch roller and the capstan are separated from each other, so there is no need to worry about deformation of the pinch roller.
Equipped with line input, microphone and DIN input selector switches.
This improves the NS ratio by approximately 10 dB compared to the conventional method in which the level of the input signal is reduced by a resistor and then amplified again by a microphone amplifier when recording from the line input.
The Quick Review Queue allows you to rewind and fast forward while recording or regenerating condition.
In addition to the recording volume, there is a volume for playback only.
There was a side wood as an option sold separately.
