[FEATURES]
Use of Metal Particle tun

A total revolution is being brought about in
magnetic tapes with the advent of metal particle
tapes which provide unprecedented high
recording level exceeding 4dB as compared
with existing CrOz tapes. Now, true high
fidelity reproduction is possible with extended
dynamic range and superb S/N ratio. To handle
this epochmaking tape, exclusive positions

are provided for corresponding bias and
equalization. and a bias fine»tu no adjustment

is effective in obtaining the optimum bias

for this new type of tape.

High On lltv Sondust H II

Excellent frequency response and wear
characteristics are ensured through the use of
a pure Sendust alloy record/playback head
capable of handling even the latest line
metal tape. Also. we use an exclusive large

erasure of metal particle tape,

Rugged Tape Transport System

A highly dependable mechanical system
ensures stable tape transport. and a high
quality bridge motor drives the reel and
capstan smoothly. All the control knobs and
buttons are logically placed for the easiest
and most convenient operation,

Doloy' noise reduction system is incorporated
to remove unpleasant tape hiss without
impairing recording signals. and the Rec.

mute position is useful in cutting off
unwanted signals such as FM commercials, etc.
from your precious recordings. The memory-
rewind system is convenient when you want
to start playback at a desired portion or when
playback is to be repeated. An automatic

stop system is employed for all modes to
remove tension applied to tape at the end of
operation. Easy-to-read peak meters make it
possible to set up an appropriate recordan
level even for metal particle tape. The recording
input selector is effective in improving SIN
ratio when line input is used for recording.
Bias line control makes it possible to obtain
the optimum bias amount for the cassette tape
you use.
