Commentary

This is a double cassette deck where dubbing, editing and mixing recording can be done in one unit.

Tape 1 is a read-only deck and Tape 2 is a record-and-redeck, enabling tape-to-tape dubbing.
The level adjustment can be controlled by the level-tape1 volume, and a dubbing button is included to prevent double Dolby when dubbing a tape recorded with Dolby NR in.

Equipped with a music selector, it is possible to start a song by detecting the no-signal part between songs.
It also includes a Queue & Review feature that allows you to fast-forward / rewind tapes in regenerating condition.

Equipped with a Rec mute button that allows you to freely make any unrecorded part.

You can mix music played on Tape 1 with a microphone. The volume of the microphone is the center input level volume, and the volume of the tape can be adjusted independently with Level-tape1.
The line input from the amp can be mixed with the music being played on Tape 1 using Tape 2. The line input is automatically switched to the line input when My Kujac is removed.

The soft tom mechanism is adopted for both tapes 1 and 2 to achieve stable tape travel.

Equipped with an auto tape selector, it detects the detection hole just by setting the cassette tape in the holder and automatically sets it to the optimum tape position.
This feature is included on both Tape 1 and Tape 2, specifically designed to display the set position of Tape 2 on the front panel.

If both Tape 1 and Tape 2 become regenerating condition, Tape 2 automatically takes precedence.
You can also use the Rec Mute button on Tape 2 to create an unrecorded portion of approximately 3 seconds between songs. When you place the tape on Tape 1, you can use the Music Selector to start the music.

Both decks are equipped with Dolby NR as a noise reduction system.

Equipped with FL display with auto-reset peak hold function.
