Remarks[edit]

  • There are many design similarities to the next smaller sister model Pioneer CT-S 710. Both devices were the first in the new design for cassette decks of Pioneer with the central cassette compartment. The reference master drive was attached diagonally in Z-form.

The CT-S910 does not yet have Dolby S. The Pioneer CT-S 810 S does.

Reports[edit]

Hifi Vision 10/1992: Hifi Vision verdict: Very good. Reference in the class to 1000 DM. Sound very good, equipment excellent. Processing good. Stereo 9/1992: Top class. Excellent, 3 stars. "Mechanics and electronics at their best - too bad there's no Dolby S version."
