Comments[edit]
- Comment from "Hifi Engine": The compact but incredibly powerful TC-630 stereo music control center consists of an amplifier with high-quality Sony silicon transistors, a precision three-head tape deck and high-performance speaker systems.
- Silicon transistors and selected power transistors ensure the lowest possible audio distortion and uniform gain characteristics across the entire operating range, and also improve the signal-to-noise ratio.
- Four pairs of stereo inputs, gramophone, tuner, microphone and AUX, correspond to the settings of the source selector switch on the front panel. Line outputs and stereo headphone jacks are provided for versatility.
- The tape transport mechanism is designed so that the sturdy tape drive can be used either vertically or horizontally. Symmetrically placed sliding volume levers and accurate VU meters are provided for recording volume.
- Other features include automatic end cutoff, instant forward and backward tape comparison, noise reduction for unwanted high-frequency noise, sound-on-sound and echo effect for professional recording techniques.
- Other models in the same series:
- Sony TC-230
- Sony TC-252
- Sony TC-540
- Sony TC-630
