Product Overview
This cassette deck system utilizes two simple and reliable one-way cassette mechanisms, allowing seamless playback and recording with uninterrupted operation. While one deck is playing or recording on TAPE1, users can change the cassette tape in TAPE2, preparing it for the next playback or recording. The independent drive sections in both decks enable users to operate one deck (change tapes, fast forward, or rewind) without affecting the other, ensuring continuity throughout. The system supports playback of Normal (Type I), Chrome (Type II), and Metal (Type IV) tapes and recording on Normal and Chrome-type tapes.
