'''Special Features'''
* Crossfield audio head system: With the crossfield audio head system, the so-called bias magnetization of the tape is not - as is generally the case - via the recording/playback head, but via a separate audio head (bias head), which is located opposite the aforementioned recording/playback head. This audio head arrangement allows signal modulation over the entire audio frequency spectrum without any interference from bias magnetization as is the case with other audio head systems.
* Auto-reverse
* Auto-stop and auto power off
* Multiplay
* Tone control separately for bass and treble
* Vertical and horizontal operation possible
