FEATURES

CT.4141A
*
DOLBY
SYSTEM
This
top-quality
deck
has been
specifically
designed
to
incorporate Dolby
System recording
and
playback facilities.
The
Dolby
System is
effective
in
reducing
cassette
tape "hiss"
(mid- and
high-frequency
noise)
during
high
fidelity
playback
without
in
any
way
reducing sound
quality.
NEWLY DEVELOPED PERMALLOY
SOLID
HEAD
We
have
succeeded
in
developing
a
new Permalloy Solid
Top
Head
with
over
ten times the
abrasive resistance
of
conventional
Permalloy
Heads
by
making
full
use
of
the
Permalloy features and
the
development
of
a
special
alloy
technique,
This
new Permalloy
Head
in
combination
with
a
chromium
dioxide tape
gives
better
response
in
the
high frequency
ranges,
exhibits
excellent playback
characteristics
and overall
superb performance.
This
quality
of
sound
reproduction
is usually
only found
in open-reel
tape decks.
TAPE SELECTION
FOR
ALL TAPES...
INCLUDING
CHROMIUM DIOXIDE
You
can
use
the
latest chromium
dioxide
cassette tapes,
with
their
great
improvement
over
conventional
tapes
in both
frequency
characteristics
and
dynamic
range,
because
the
independent bias and equalizer
circuits
required
are available
through the
tape selector
switch.
When
using
chrome
tapes
the
playback equalizer
operates
at 70
gs,
which
gives
an
excellent
S/N
(signal-to-noise
ratio).
The other
position
of
the
tape selector
enables
conventional
tapes
to
be
used.
A
WEALTH
OF
NEW
AUXILIARY
FUNCTION SUCH
AS
A
TAPE
RUNNING
PILOT LIGHT, SKIP
BUTTON,
etc.
Many new
ideas
are incorporated
into
the auxiliary
devices
to
increase
the
versatility and
ease
of
operation
of
your
new tape
deck: the tape
running
pilot
light
that
provides
at a
glance
an
indication
of
tape
transport
in
the
cassette;
the
skip
button that
makes
it
possible
to
accurately catch
the
beginning
of
material
while
in
the
playback mode; and
an easy-to-operate
pause
button.
A
FULLY
AUTOMATIC
STOP
THAT
GIVES
YOU
WORRY.FREE
OPERATION
Anyone can operate
the
deck
without worry,
since
whether
in
the
record,
playback,
fast
forward,
or
rewind
modes,
the
automatic
stop
device
shuts
off
the
tape
deck when the end
of
the tape
is reached.
EASY.TO.SEE
SOUND
LEVEL
METERS
AND
EASY.TO-USE CONTROL
PANEL
Level Meters,
a necessity
while
recording, are
installed
in both
the
left
and
right
channels.
Also
simple,
easy-to-use
slide-type
level
controls
are
incorpo-
rated.
For your
convenience,
microphone
jacks
which
can accept
large-size
plugs,
thus
permitting
the
use
of
high-quality
microphones,
and
the
headphone
jack are installed on the
same panel.
ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED
DC
MOTOR
ln
order
to
achieve stable.tape
transport under
conditionsofvaryingsource
voltage
and
tape
load,
a
DC
motor
controlled electronically
by
transistors
and
diode
is
emploved.
