Commentary
A tape deck capable of playing back discrete 4-channel tapes.
The head section consists of two heads, an erasing head and a newly designed recording / reproducing head for 4-channel tape playback.
It is equipped with 2 meters, and the output level of front (ch1, ch3) and rear (ch2, ch4) can be displayed by switching the switch.
In addition, this switching function is linked to the headphone output, and the output of the headphone is also switched simultaneously.
Stereo microphone recording is possible by using an optional microphone.
The Mic and Aux inputs can be mixed.
National unique gold mechanism is adopted, and stability is improved by eliminating uneven rotation and vibration.
It is equipped with an automatic stopping device to prevent the tape from being damaged. When the tape is wound up, the shut-off switch activates and the motor automatically stops.
