FEATURES
For
accurate and precise
recording,
an independent VU
meter
circuit
is
included.
To ach ieve success
in recording
with least d istortion and
max
imu
m
signal-to-no ise ratio, it is
essential
that
the recording input level be at an optimum setting.
For
successful recording, therefore, an
independent
V
U
rneter
circuit is used.
Thanks to
increased
accuracy of the
graduated scale as well as improved
damping
of
the
meter
pointer,
levels can
be
read
out accurately from the
m
inutest (-20 dB) to
the h
igh
end
(+5 dB).

A

has
been
adopted for
convenient
level
settings.
An upright cassette

has been adopted.
A
li
contro
ls are
arranged
on
the front. Cassette
loading/unloading
is straightforward. Because
the
cassette stands upright
in
its
place.
it
gives a clearer view of
tape travel,
tape bu ild-ups, and t itle or
identi fication
on
the
label of the
cassette
hait.
Extra
smooth
cassette
eject is assisted
by
a
propri
e-
tary
air
damper
arrangement.
The detachable
cassette lid
facil itates servicing such as
cleaning the
magnet
ic heads and
tape path
in the
transport.
A built-in
full
automatic shutoff protects the tape
from
damage under excessive
tension.
Whenever the
tape
builds up
fu
lly
on
the
take-up
reel
or on
t
he supp
ly
reel
,
an
electronic circuit
senses
it,
and
the
shutoff
activates.
T
h
is
prevents application of unusually high ·tension on the reel by the
drive
motor;
both the
tape
and deck are safeguarded against damage.
Control
buttons
are precise,

and
direct

The light

of control buttons
permits
a direct

mode
to the other without

A Dolby*system is incorporated to minimize irritating
hiss
noise.
The
Dolby system reduces hiss noise
inherent
in
tape
reproduction
to
a min
imum.
lt
is
a
noise

system
essential
to
any
high

deck intended for high

ity
sound
reproduction
.
With
the
Dolby switch set to "ON" at the
ti
me
of recording and
playback,
it
improves
the signal-to-noise
ratio
by 5 dB
at
1
kHz;
10 dB at 5
kHz
and above, significantly
reducing t
he
tape
noise.
However, satisfactory
results
cannot

expected on

To
make
the best
of
the system, a deck

,
like
the
FL-2000, is required.
A

responsible
for extra

The

A tape selector selects

And
a different

requires different equalizer and bias settings. On the

you
can
choose

both independently switchable. So you
