Commentary
A double reverse cassette deck capable of continuous recording for up to 3 hours.
It is a double reverse configuration with two recording / re-deck systems, and long time recording / re-recording is possible by using both sides of Tape1 and Tape2.
In addition, up to 24 hours of non-stop series playback (when using C-90 tape) is possible.
The V-TRI-HOLD rotary head has been adopted to improve the azimuth accuracy of the head, which is a problem in the reverse deck.
By adopting a unique 3-point contact support system using a V-type bearing, this head realizes high azimuth accuracy in both forward and reverse directions, eliminating differences in sound quality due to variations in sound and direction differences.
Equipped with 3 x speed editing function.
As a noise reduction system, the dbx system and Dolby B / C NR are installed.
It is equipped with a music selector that can cue the beginning of the music being played or the next music.
Auto Rec Mute, which automatically creates an approximately 4-second unrecorded segment when pressed during recording and enters a pause state.
It is equipped with a blank skip function that detects the unrecorded portion of the tape and fast-forwards it.
Equipped with a synchronized start function.
