Commentary

Double cassette deck equipped with synchronized drive mechanism.

In order to realize high-quality tape editing even during high-speed editing, a unique synchronized drive mechanism is adopted.
In this method, both capstan units are driven by a single motor, eliminating the rotational speed error between the capstan units and enabling high-speed tape editing with higher precision.

Equipped with a synchronized start function, editing can be started with one touch operation from the editing standby state.

It is equipped with a synchronous recording mute function. If you stop the playback side while editing, the recording side automatically enters the recording standby mode using approximately 4 seconds of blank space.

Equipped with a synchro stop function, when one tape ends during editing, the other tape automatically stops.

AX amorphous head is used for the head.

Equipped with 3 nr of dbx and Dolby B / C as noise reduction system.

It is equipped with functions such as series playback and music selector.

It is equipped with an equalization editing function that enables you to edit the tape with the desired sound quality by connecting it to a graphic equalizer.
