Superscope CD-302A cassette deck

Stereo cassette tape deck, features:

Built-in Dolby Noise Reduction System - with internal/external switching that enables it to operate as an independent out board playback Dolby system. Unlike most other Dolbyized units, the CD-302A Deck can also deprocess Dolbyized material from FM broadcasts and other tape recorders.

Automatic Shut-Off - that disengages the cassette drive mechanism at end-of-tape in record and play modes.

 

 

Recording Peak Limiter - that monitors and holds the recording level below saturation to prevent distortion while maintaining a full dynamic range.

Tape Select Switch - for proper bias and equalization when using either standard or chromium dioxide tape.

Mechanical Locking Pause Control - that enables you to pause during playback or recording without disengaging controls

VU Meters, Function Indicators and Cassette Compartment - that are illuminated for easy viewing

3-Digit tape Counter - with a reset button.

Walnut-Grained cabinetry - and the professional styling you'd expect to find only in more expensive units.
