Full Logic Cassette Mechanism
The Full Logic Cassette Mechanism provides smooth and reliable
operation for cassette play-back. The mechanism uses logic circuits,
rather than mechanical methods, to control loading, ejecting, fast
forward and fast reverse. Logic circuits provide the cassette mecha-
nism with long term reliability and increased features.
THE RESULT: Provides smooth and reliable cassette operation
◆
Pinch Roller Release
The Pinch Roller Release helps maintain the quality of cassette tapes.
The tape head and pinch roller are retracted when a loaded cassette
is not currently playing or the ignition is turned off. By relieving
tension on the tape, “flat spots” and other forms of degradation are
minimized to maintain tape quality.
THE RESULT: Maintains sound quality of cassettes by reducing tape
wear
◆
Auto Tape Tightening
Auto Tape Tightening helps reduce play-back failure caused by
cassettes exposed to vibration or shock. The cassette is checked for
loosely wound tape by automatically tightening it before play-back.
The tape tightening feature helps prevent the cassette mechansim
from “eating” the tape.
THE RESULT: Reduces “eaten” tapes
◆
Auto Metal EQ
No, this doesn't instantly optimize your source unit to play heavy
metal music. The Auto Metal EQ senses metal and CrO2 tapes to
automatically engage an equalization circuit. This allows the source
unit to take advantage of the improved frequency response gained by
using metal-biased cassettes.
THE RESULT: Engages EQ circuity for metal-biased tapes
