Pioneer CT-470

Commentary

Stereo cassette deck in pursuit of operability.

It uses logic control using IC, and the drive mechanism is electronically controlled to provide a soft touch operation feeling.
In addition, the drive can be changed directly without using the stop button.

The power switch features a crystal brown self-illuminated button and the eject button is crystal brown, matching the color tone with the power switch.

Hard Permalloy heads are used for recording and reproducing heads.
In addition to focusing on the wide dynamic range and low distortion factor of the reproduction amplifier, we designed the recording amplifier to obtain a wide frequency characteristic to be compatible with metal tapes.

A DC servo motor is used in the drive section, and by combining a capstan with precision processing of micron order and a flywheel with excellent dynamic balance, stable tape travel is achieved.

Equipped with a timer standby mechanism, it is possible to record the absence and play the alarm by combining the timer sold separately.

Equipped with a Dolby system.

Equipped with metal, CrO2 and normal 3-position tape selectors.

Equipped with a level meter.

Equipped with a 3-digit tape counter.
