Front-Access
Stereo Cassette Deck with Pioneer-Exclusive Automatic Chrome Detection,
Vertical Cassette Hold, Dolby, Memory Stop and Other Advanced Features.
The Pioneer
CT-F7272 isn't the most elaborate nor expensive deck on the market. But it has
a number of exclusive features that add up to the kind of handling convenience
and musical quality that aren't normally found in its price range. Among them
is the Pioneer-perfected Automatic Chrome Detection System to eliminate the
guesswork when you use wide-range Chrome tapes. It switches the
Bias/Equalization to the correct values for Chrome, and also makes it easy to
take advantage of the newer Ferrichrome as well as standard low-noise tapes.
Advanced features like the Pioneer-exclusive Vertical-Hold Cassette Compartment
help you realize the full potential of the space-saving front-loading format.
Tapes are
held firmly upright so you can read labels and see tape movement. All controls
are up front for quick access. They include those for Dolby, Memory Stop and
the easy-touch pause and tape-transport keys. Big, accurate Vus twin
Chrome/ferrichrome indicator s, LEDs for Rec and Dolby modes and separate
controls for input and output improve handling ease. Inside there's a wide-dynamic -range preamp
plus a precision DC tape drive system with low wow/flutter, a tough
Ferrite-Solid head, a built-in MPX noise filter for recording FM stereo , and
more. The Pioneer CT-F7272 is guaranteed
by Pioneer to bring you the convenience and quality you can't beat in its price
range.
