Table Top Cassette Tape Recorder/Player
Plays and records both commercial and Talking Book-type cassettes. New features include stereo playback through headphones and Digital Pitch Control.
Features:
- Digital Pitch Control (DPC): allows you to increase the rate of listening up to double speed, and adjust the pitch of the voice to avoid an unpleasant high or low pitch. Digital Pitch Control has much higher sound quality as compared to earlier speech compression systems.
- Stereo playback through optional headphones.
- More powerful amplifier produces clearer sound.
- Low battery alarm in record mode.
- Variable volume record monitoring: While listening to (monitoring) a recording in progress, you can change the volume of the monitor sound without affecting the recording.
- Variable output Auxiliary Jack: The signal sent out of the Auxiliary Jack (for copying tapes with a second machine) is now variable.
This durable, portable recorder with quality sound will provide years of listening enjoyment and it's easy to use!
