Technics
offers the auto-reverse stereo cassette deck with four track SX head, memory
auto-play, and two-color FL peak meters. The RS-M68 features a choice of three
separate transport modes. Cont - plays the tape endlessly until it is stopped
manually. Rev - plays or records one complete cycle of the tape and then stops
automatically. Non-Rev - disengages the auto-reverse mechanism after one side
is played. To play
or record the other side, when the non-reverse mode is in use, just press the
key for the opposite direction since there is no need to turn the cassette
over.
Outstanding
features include: cue/review operation (which is rarely seen on auto-reverse
units); FC servo DC motor and twin, dynamically-balanced flywheels; separate
three-position bias and equalization selectors; a Dolby NR system with MPX
filter; friction-coupled L/R input level controls; oil-daamped soft loading and
