Dual C 830 front loading stereo cassette deck
offers three heads for true tape monitoring during recording, full
record/playback metal capability, and electronic fade/edit for rediting during
playback. A phase-locked loop DC servo motor with integral frequency generator
provides highly accurate and stable tape drive, according to the manufacturer.
Logic-controlled tape-transport functions and an electronic tape-motion sensor
prevent jams and tape spills. A unique Dual Direct Load and lock System (DLLS)
eliminates hinged cassette door and provides automatic head protection during
insertion and removal of a cassette. A six-way bias/equalization switch
includes a setting for new metal tapes. Equalized LEDs provide peak-level
indications.
