Commentary

A highly reliable and cost-effective stereo cassette deck.

The mechanism part is equipped with ID mechanism and logic control.
In the ID mechanism, the drive of the flywheel, which is the heart of the rotating system, is independent of the drive of the take-up reel to reduce uneven rotation. In addition, the logic control system uses part of the rotational energy of the motor to reduce mechanical operation force such as Rec/Play/FF/Stop.
By combining these two methods with a fly wheel with a diameter of 70 mm, the stability and operability of tape running are improved.

Equipped with Music Scan = automatic music selection mechanism by logic operation.
If you press the Music Scan button and then the Play and FF or Play and REW button, the head of the next or previous song will appear automatically.
You can use the Rec Mute mechanism to automatically select songs for your own tapes.

The recording and re-head uses a MetaPalm recording and re-head that is compatible with metal tapes.

Equipped with a 2-color LED meter that is highly responsive and easy to read peak input level.
With an attack time of 10 msec or less and a slow recovery time, accurate level setting is easy.

The built-in Super ANRS reduces tape noise and increases linearity in the high-frequency range.
By integrating both ANRS-IC and Super ANRS-IC circuits and incorporating control amplifiers and Mic-Line switching circuits, we have achieved high performance and reliability.
ANRS is also compatible with the Dolby-B type.

Equipped with rewind autoplay mechanism, Rec Mute mechanism, timer standby mechanism (Rec/Play), queue / review mechanism, slide volume (recording level), etc.
