Commentary
A cassette deck with fine soft touch operation, 2-motor mechanism and DC amplifier configuration.
Soft-touch logic controls allow you to quickly transition from a fast-forward or rewind state to a regenerating condition state.
Even when these operations are performed continuously, the operation stops completely before moving to the next operation. Therefore, excessive tension is not applied to the cassette tape, and stretching and deformation of the tape can be prevented.
A 2-motor system has been adopted in which a capstan drive motor and a reel drive motor are dedicated respectively. By eliminating the complicated flutter mechanism, the wow transmission characteristics and reliability have been improved.
A DC servo motor is used to drive the capstan.
Uses SD (Super High Density) head.
Equipped with Dolby NR / B type.
Equipped with a timer standby function.
Equipped with a 4-stage tape selector.
The characteristics are improved by direct coupling of the reproducing amplifier and the head.
DC amplifier configuration is adopted.
Equipped with a twin VU meter with lighting.
It is also equipped with a + 6 vu peak indicator.
It has a high-output headphone port.
Uses a soft eject mechanism.
