A wide range
of Onkyo's advanced technology has gone into the creation of the TA-2028 Stereo
Cassette Tape Deck. Its superbly quiet transport system is teamed with
up-to-date noise reduction systems to ensure noise-free sound reproduction.
You'll also find a deck adjustable to any cassette tape type, including the
newest high-position and metal tapes, thanks to Onkyo's exclusive Accubias
system. This and many more valuable features make this tape deck a great value
and a fine addition to any high quality home entertainment system.
Computer
Controlled Tape Transport with Two DC Servo Motors.
The 2
DC-motor transport system is designed for quiet operation without annoying
mechanical noises when stopping and starting. The use of a special "silent
solenoid" means that the unit doesn't need a large current when transports
starts, which helps avoid hum and induction noise. A customized microcomputer
controls transport mode switching, assuring quick response to commands from the
transport keys. Computer control also allows you to switch directly between any
two transport modes without pressing the stop key in between.
Accubias for
the Best Sound Possible from Any Tape.
The normal
and high tape bias selector settings found on most decks are not always matched
to the unique characteristics of many of today's recording tapes. Onkyo's
exclusive Accubias allows the user to
fine tune the bias current for optimum recording results. With a simple
Accubias adjustment you will obtain the flattest and widest possible frequency
response from each different kind of tape.
Dolby B and
C Noise Reduction.
Besides the
conventional Dolby B noise reduction, the TA-2028 featuresDolby C NR as well,
to battle both high frequency and mid range noise. It also helpsprecvent
distortion due to tape saturation.
Two Repeat
Play Modes
Single and
Full repeat modes allow you to repeat a single song or to listen a second time
to a whole cassette side. The clearly marked repeat mode buttons assure that
repeat operations are smooth and error-free.
Automatic
Music Control System (AMCS)
If you want
to slip forward to anorher track, locate a specific song or scan the contest of
a cassette tape al. Press the AMCS button. The deck will automatically detect
the silent spaces between songs and stop brieffly at the beginning of a song to
play about 10 seconds of music and skip ahead. When the desired spot onthe
cassette si reached, press the play button and normal playback resumes.
