JVC KD-720 cassette deck

Features:

Separate Bias/EQ Switches

Full Automatic Stop Mechanism

Slanted Operation Panel

A High Value Investment in Hi-Fi

The Dolby noise reduction system, a popular and widely used feature, is incorporated in the JVC KD-720 to effectively reduce tape hiss. Then, since we provide separate Bias/EQ Tape Select switches on this high-value deck, you are assured of an outstanding dynamic range and a wide frequency response from any tape you use.

For tape protection, the KD-720's Full Auto-Stop mechanism automatically shuts itself off several seconds after a tape reaches its end in any mode. Reliability and durability are much improved over those of conventional mechanical type stop devices. This new and special JVC mechanism uses a reed switch and a rotating magnet.

The control panel is slanted to facilitate operation and improve visibility of VU meters, controls and tape running Level controls are easy-to-adjust sliders, while Vus are large for easy adjustment.
