SELLECTOR SWITCH FOR USE OF HIGH GRADE TAPE A Tape Selector Switch changes recording bias, recording equalization, recording level, and playback
equalization according to the tape being used. While high performance Low Noise Tape is standard for this machine, frequency response range is further extended through the use of Chromium D iox
ide
Tape.
EXPANDED VU METER SCALES FOR
ACCURATE LEVEL
INDICATION
llluminated expanded scale VU Meters provide quick and accurate
deter- mination of recording
and playback levels.
AUTOMATIC SHUT.OFF FOR
