Why Direct-O-Matic"? The big reason is
that it puts the cassette right up front. not
deep inside the chassis. There are three
benefits: better tape handling/Viewing. more
stable, accurate tape transport, and easier
access to the heads/capstan/pinch roller
for maintenance. When you think about it.
the professional open-reel decks in use for
studio recordings offer the same benefits.

Direct-O-Matic" ends the problems other
designs inevitably tace noisy. iam-prone
tape compartment doors. cramped tape
compartments. limited handling access and.
most particularly. restricted visibility. Now
you can snap in a tape. watch as you rewind
or fast forward to the spot you want. read
tape labels at a glanceand enjoy all the
freedom open-reels offer with no fumbles.
no fuss.

Direct-O~Matic" also greatly improves
the ultimate performance of the Sansui
801100 by providing more stability. too,
Four clamps grip the cassette shell firmly
enough to keep it from iarring loose or
"creeping" in the record or playback modes.
This means drastically reduced wow/flutter
and modulation noise. better tape-to»head
contact and more reliability. In the rewind
and fast forward modes. they are still at work
to add margin for safety. When the deck is
in the STOP mode. the clamps withdraw to
permit you to remove the tape and mount
another easily.
