AKAI CS-F39R

Commentary

Click Reverse Deck with Dolby C type.

Uses a quick reverse mechanism using an infrared tape sensor.

A bi-counter capstan drive is used as the driving mechanism to ensure uniform driving characteristics in both directions.
In this system, dedicated capstan shafts and pinch rollers are provided for each of the forward and reverse drives, and the recording and reproducing heads are designed to be symmetrical with respect to each other to ensure uniform driving characteristics.
In addition, we have adopted our own high-precision tape guide to prevent tape deflection and uneven crimping at the recording / reproducing head, and moved the erasing head to the outside of the capstan for further stability.

The head section employs a unique linear motion mechanism that accurately shifts the recording / reproducing head back and forth, and achieves excellent uniform recording / reproducing characteristics in both directions.

Equipped with Dolby C Type NR as a noise reduction system.
The C-type has a two stage configuration with B-type circuits for both low and high levels and built-in spectral queuing and anti-frequency circuits to improve the high-frequency response and expand the saturation range and dynamic range.

The mechanism part uses a 2-motor quick & quiet mechanism that boasts high stability in terms of reliability and durability.
The capstan uses an electronically controlled DC-motor with low wow and flutter, while the reel uses a high-torque DC-motor to maintain excellent initial characteristics.

Uses an HD head.

Equipped with IPLS function, automatic heading is possible.
When you fast-forward or rewind in IPLS mode, it automatically finds the beginning of the next or current song and enters into play state.

Autoplay is a combination of play and fast forward or rewind. This function can be used in either forward or reverse directions. In addition, the CS-F39R enables memory autoplay in conjunction with the counter.

Equipped with auto-mute mechanism.
With this function, a 4-second silent space is automatically set when the switch is pressed, and the REC standby state is set.

Equipped with a 3-position reverse selector, you can select one way recording and rerecording, one round trip recording and playback from the forward direction (one-way recording from the reverse direction), endless playback of A-B-A-Face and one round trip recording.

Uses 12-segment FL bar meter and long stroke slide volume.

An MPX filter switch is mounted to prevent Dolby NR malfunction due to 19 kHz pilot signal when recording FM stereo broadcast transmission with Dolby NR.

Equipped with a 3-position tape selector that switches between bias and equalizer.

Equipped with timer start mechanism, recording of absence and alarm clock playback are possible.

Equipped with a remote control terminal, you can use a wired or wireless remote control sold separately.
