FEATURES

Adds New Dimension to Audio Enjoyment

Fast and easy front panel operation is achieved through
carefully apportioned control layout and Pioneer's original
vertical cassette transport system. Simple stand up cassette
loading makes handling effortless.

High Reliability 2 Motor Transport

Tape motion during record and playback is regulated by a
superbly stable DC servo controlled motor, while a high
torque mechanical governor equipped motor drives fast
forward and rewind. Precision design and finishing of the
capstan, belt, large size flywheel and tape take up mecha-
nism assure outstanding performance in terms of wow and
flutter and stability.

Select Transport Modes Directly

Direct change system allows any mode (record, play, fast
forward, rewind) to be selected without alternating with
the stop switch. Operating convenience becomes additional-
ly increased, while tape is protected from undue stress.

Reduced Tape Noise with Built-in Dolby* System

Without adversely affecting the sound quality of the
program source, the builtin Dolby system can significantly
reduce bothersome tape hiss noise (by up to approximately
10 dB at high frequencies). Wide dynamic range, excellent
Signalvto-Noise ratio recording and playback can be fully
enjoyed. ,

3-Stage Direct Coupled Head Amplifier

Equalization and microphone amplifiers are comprised of
3~stage direct coupled circuitry to provide excellent phase
characteristics. Application of effective negative feedback
up to ultra high frequencies assures stable high frequency
response and a dynamic range exceeding 40 dB of the base
level.

Tough and Durable Ferrite Solid Head

Ferrite solid composing the record/playback head resists
abrasion and features long durability, superior high fre-
quency response and head touch, in addition to minimized
problems of dirt adhesion and magnetization noise.

Independent Bias and Equalization Selection

Nearly all types of tape can be employed, including
chrome, low noise, ferrichrome and standard, by providing
separate settings for bias and equalization. The special
qualities of each type become fully experienced. A new
equalization design (3180 +70us) is included and the
electronic switching circuit eliminates switching noise.

Large Level Meters and LED Peak Indicator

Large size, easy to see level meters are mounted on the
front panel together with a light emitting diode (LED) peak
indicator which advises of instantaneous over levels. Re-
liable signal monitoring can be performed, permitting low
distortion recording of wide dynamic range program
sources. '

Quality Convenience Features

Memory stop switch: Employ during recording or playback
by simply pressing the memory button and resetting the
counter at the beginning of the desired passage. When the
passage is completed, press the rewind lever. The tape will
then rewind to the selected point and stop automatically.
Input selector switch: Selects between LINE (pin jack) and
DIN jack input signals. By setting to DIN when recording
with microphones, microphone input level can be at-
tenuated by 10 dB.
