Thank you
for your purchase of the ONKYO
TA-RW244/144 Cassette Tape Deck.
Please read this manual thoroughly before making connections
and plugging in the AC power cord.
Following the instructions in this manual will enable you to
obtain optimum performance and maximum listening enjoyment
from your new TA-RW244/144.
Please retain this manual for future reference.
Features
Full-logic record/play transports with auto reverse and
continuous play
Full-logic controls provide smooth, trouble-free electronic
switching, and keep you from having to press the stop button when
switching between functions. And auto-reverse/continuous play
lets you play both sides of both cassettes in sequence, without
having to take out the tapes and flip them over.
Two eight-segment peak-holding fluorescent meters
The easy-to-read FL meters have peak-holding functions, which
are indispensable when setting the best record/playback levels.
Four-digit electronic tape counter
The large, clear electronic tape counter shows the current tape
position, so you can easily edit and locate specific sections.
CD synchro recording
This feature lets you easily make accurate recordings from a
compact disc at a touch of a button, when your tape deck is
connected to certain
z
(remote interactive) compatible ONKYO
CD players.

If you’re one of the fortunate ones who own other ONKYO
components that bear the

mark, simple single-cable connection
lets you operate all of the major functions of both transports of
your TA-RW244/144 with the other component’s remote. (The
remote control supplied with ONKYO

CD players covers
Deck-B functions only.)
