quality to your personal taste.
You can adapt the picture rendition to the quality of tape used or the tape content
itself. You can, for instance, filter out the noise of a poor rental tape or increase the
details on a high quality recording.
• New Turbo Drive deck
The new Turbo Drive deck offers:
Speed
65-second ultra fast rewind speed.
Reliability
To guarantee an optimum reliability, the heads are automatically cleaned each time
a cassette is inserted or ejected.
Intelligence
The Tape Position Indicator, in wind and re-wind situations, displays the accurate

the screen.
