Supports Normal (Type I), CrO2 (Type II), and Metal (Type IV) tapes. Frequency Response: Normal: 30 Hz to 15,000 Hz (±3 dB). CrO2: 30 Hz to 16,000 Hz (±3 dB). Metal: 30 Hz to 18,000 Hz (±3 dB).

The "soft-touch" operation buttons allow for direct switching between modes (e.g., from rewind to play) without needing to hit "Stop" first, protecting the tape from sudden tension.

Includes manual tape type selection, a master record level control, and an output-level control—a feature often reserved for higher-end models.
