The
CT-606 is designed to playback recordings of records played on your turntable or
FM broadcasts heard on your tuner, prerecorded music tapes, live recordings
using microphones, and tapes which have been pre-recorded. If you use the
optional timer in combination with this deck, you will be able to practice
unattended recordings and allow yourself to be woken up to the sweet sound of
music rather than the harsh sound of an alarm clock.
Highly Reliable Tape Transport Mechanism
the model employs a
DC servo-controlled motor featuring superior ability in transporting the tape
at the rated speed stably. The capsran, belt, large-sized flywheel, which are
all precision tape winding mechanism combine to yield top-notch wow and flutter
characteristics and stability. Furthermore, the loading mechanism for the
cassette is simply designed for surefire and easy operation.
Permalloy Solid Head
The
recording/playback head adopts a hard permalloy core which allows the special
characteristics of chrome tapes and ferrichrome tapes to be displayed to the
full. With this top reliability head which provides excellence resistance to
wear and a superb signal-to-noise ratio, high-quality recording and playback
are quaranteed.
Dolby System for
Reduced Tape Hiss
The model employs
the Dolby Noise Reduction System and this markedly lowers the level of tape
hiss which is annoying to the listener when a tape is played back without
impairing the sound quality of the orginal program source. (Hiss reduced by 10
dB in high frequencies.) This in turn expands the dynamic range and makes for
recording and playback with a high signal-to-noise ratio.
Tape Selector Switch
AUtomatic Chrome Tape Selection Mechanism
The bias and
equalization circuits are selected by the tape switches which allow the
characteristics of all types of tapes, ranging from chrome tape and ferrichrome
tapes to low-noise and standard tapes, to be displayed to the full. In
addition, the built-in chrome tape selection mechanism serves to detect the
special detecting holes on chrome tapes and automatically selects the chrome
tape positions. The signal circuitry employs an electronic switch so that there
is no noise during actual selection.
Full Auto-stop
Mechanism
The full auto-stop
mechanism is designed to stop the tape automatically once the tape is wound up
on matter what the model of operation: recording, playback, fast forward or
rewind. This means that the tape is not damaged when it comes to the end.
