Reviews[edit]

After some operating time the eject buttons of the decks jam, some oil helps.... The recording wake-up function (automatic start of recording when power is turned on) is good to control, otherwise it happens quickly that a cassette is simply over-recorded when you turn the unit on. The tape counter drive unfortunately always switches back from the time counter to the standard counter mode when the unit is switched off.
