Stereo Cassette Tape Deck
The perfect stereo cassette tape deck for audio perfectionists. This brand new Sanyo model contains Dolby Noise (Reduction) which almost completely eliminates annoying huma and hissing sounds that heretofore have been an unavoidable part of stereo cassette recording and playback. This advanced unit also has a tape select switch for nominal or high quality chrome tapes. Monitoring while recording is also possible and a cue control and full automatic shut off are built in. At the end of a recording a special memory counter returns the tape to the exact beginning of the freshy recorded material.
Other outstanding features include a pause button, output level control for lineout level, DIN connector and two large VU meters a panel that automatically rises up from the unit at the touch of a button. The Signal-to-Noise Ratio of model RD4300 with the Dolby switch on is 58 dB and the amazingly flat frequency response when a chrome tape is used is 20 to 18,000 Hz. An outstanding stereo tape deck for audio enthusiasts who refuse to settle for less than the best.
Features
Dolby noise Reduction
A simple comparison of sounds with the Dolby function switch on and then off clearly shows the value of this noise reduction circuit. Tape hissing and other irritating sounds and humming are almost totally suppressed.
Convenient cueing control, Auto Stop
Finding recorded sections of the tape during fast forward and rewind has been greatly facilitated with a built-in cueing device. There is also a full automatic shut off system that turns off the mechanism at the end of the tape during playback, recording, rewind or fast forward.
Tape select switch for ordinary and chrome tapes
This unit takes both chromium dioxide and ordinary cassette tapes. The wider frequency response of chrome tapes is rated at 20 to 18,000 Hz. A tape select switch is provided for differentiating between the two types.
Excellent sound characteristics
Wow and flutter of this model is 0,1% RMS, and the Signal-to-Noise Ratio when the Dolby switch is on is rated at 58 dB
Two large VU meters
For precision recording and playback two large VU meters are supplied. These meters are built into a special panel that tilts up automatically from the unit at the touch of a button.
