Toshiba PT-490 cassette tape deck


 Toshiba – Now you can record on a Dolby cassette deck for 2 straight hours without flipping the tape.
Recording Beethoven’s  4th, 5th and 6th on one continuous taping. Or playing a two hour tape of The Beatles without even being in the same room. Or catching yourself in duet with Brubeck and not having to stop flip the tape. Well, if your cassette deck is a Toshiba PT-490 with the automatic reverse feature it’s easy.
Just set the Mode dial and the machine knows exactly what you want it to do. Whether you want it to record one side of the tape and then stop. Or play and turn itself off. Or record both sides of the tape for two uninterrupted hours. Or play back the same tape indefinitely. The machine does it all for you. And it does it automatically.
In addition to reversing its own tape, the PT-490 also gives you outstanding performance and sound. That’s because it comes with Dolby noise reduction. Mechanical auto shut-off. Separate record and playback volume controls. Two large, illuminated VU-meter. And a bias selector switch for normal, hi-fi and CrO₂ tape. And it’s one more example of the fine craftsmanship that goes into all Toshiba products.
