Commentary
Double cassette deck with sorting cassette system.
The double reverse deck, which consists of a reverse deck for playback and a quick reverse for recording, is equipped with an auto-sorting system for five cassette volumes. In this system, five cassette volumes can be loaded into a sorting cartridge, and any cassette can be recalled by operating the program station keys on the front panel of the deck. The selected tape is loaded into the I-deck mechanism directly behind the II-deck.
15 types of random program memories are available by selecting the desired volume, surface, and music number from the 5-volume cassette set in the sorting cartridge.
One button synchronized dubbing for dubbing, a double-speed dubbing mechanism for reducing editing time, and a 4-second blank can be set between songs.
If you press the play button without programming, you can play all the songs on both sides A and B of the 5-volume cassette continuously.
If the next tape button is pressed, the A side of the next cassette is increased by one touch operation.
A rotary head system is adopted for the head part, so that the sound quality is uniform in both directions and the sound cut time is shortened because there is no need to switch between recording and re-amplifier.
In addition, a 0.2 second quick reverse mechanism is adopted for Deck II.
The dubbing operation uses a synchronized dubbing system in which two mechanisms start and stop simultaneously.
Double-speed dubbing mechanism enables quick dubbing editing.
Equipped with a Dolby C type noise reduction system.
For deck I, if you set the selector switch of the sorting cartridge, the deck automatically sorts Dolby OFF, B and C.
