The CT-W205R offers everything you need in a 21st-century
cassette deck: convenience, quality, and affordability.
Convenience, because many cars have tape decks and most of us
still have boatloads of perfectly good tapes lying around the
house. Quality, because cassettes can sound good, and CDs have
heightened our sonic expectations. And affordability, because,
after all, we're talking about cassettes here, and who wants to
throw a lot of money in that direction?
In this dual-well deck, one transport records and plays, while
the other just plays--but both offer full autoreverse, even while
recording. And with relay play (deck I to deck II), you'll get
more than three hours of music by using two 100-minute tapes. A
special rewind autoplay feature for deck I commences playback
from the moment a cassette finishes rewinding, freeing you from
monitoring the deck while the winding is in progress.
For noise reduction, the CT-W205R is outfitted with Dolby B and
C (Dolby B reduces noise by about 10 dB, while Dolby C knocks it
down 20 dB), and it will play (but not record) tapes encoded with
S-type noise reduction. A built-in MPX filter blocks the 19 kHz
stereo-broadcast multiplex tone when you're recording off the
air. This gives you more accurate Dolby noise-reduction tracking
and clean recordings from FM radio.
Full-logic controls offer electronic, rather than mechanical,
control of the deck's transport system, giving you more
reliability, smoother operation, and quicker one-touch controls.
Other features include auto tape selector (normal/CrO2/metal),
high-speed dubbing, auto space record mute, 15-track music
search, six-LED level meters (with peak hold for setting optimal
recording levels), and a .25-inch stereo headphone jack for
private listening.
