The DRW-695 is an affordable double cassette deck offering a host of convenient, easy-to-use tape editing functions, such as Memory Stop that lets you automatically stop the tape at any desired location, and High-Speed Dubbing to copy tapes from Deck A to Deck B at twice the normal speed. The DRW-695 also provides a backlight so that you can easily monitor the remaining amount of tape. In addition, the audio circuit includes a Bias Fine Tuning feature to ensure that each tape performs at maximum potential. Of course, the DRW-695 is further equipped with Dolby B/C noise reduction systems and HX-Pro to minimize noise from the tape and eliminate distortion in the high range. Your ears will enjoy a sound that is both clean and rich.
Rich Selection of Play and Recording Modes
(Single, Reverse, Relay, Timer Play, Timer Recording)
The DRW-695 provides a variety of playback and recording modes. Besides the usual Single and Reverse play modes, when the Relay Play mode has been selected and the Play button is pressed, deck A first starts playback, followed automatically by deck B after both sides of the tape in deck A have been played. This feature permits long, uninterrupted music enjoyment. You can also connect a commercially available timer to the DRW-695 to wake up to your favourite tape or to take advantage of the deck's Timer Recording mode.
Memory Stop
If you press the MEMORY button and turn on the Memory Stop function ("MEMO" is displayed), and then press the Rewind button even during playback, the tape will rewind and automatically stop at the "0000" position on the tape counter.
Normal or High-Speed Dubbing
Two dubbing modes are provided: Normal and High-Speed. The latter mode copies tapes from Deck A to Deck B at two times the normal speed of tape travel.
Dolby B/C Noise Reduction
The Dolby B/C noise reduction systems suppress the hissing noise of the tape to produce a clear, high-quality sound. Manual Bias
Adjustment Control
A bias adjustment knob is provided on the front panel for greater control over recording characteristics. The center stop position provides the standard recording bias level, and turning the knob to the right or left will produce plus or minus variations in the bias during recording to suit the individual taste of the listener.
CD Synchro Record Function
The CD synchro record function allows you to easily make recordings from CD without performing separate operations on both the cassette deck and the CD player.
Backlight
A backlight is provided to let you see the remaining amount of tape more easily.
Independent Tape Counters for Deck A and Deck B
Deck A and Deck B have their own tape counters so that you can monitor the progress of both tapes simultaneously.
