Special Features

  • There is no "classic" cassette compartment cover. When the cassette is removed, fingers touch movable switch covers to the left and right of the cassette, triggering a cassette stop.

The drive functions (raising or lowering the mechanism) are performed by a magnet. Thus the mechanism is not moved slowly, but "abruptly". This results in a very audible "impact noise".
