Remarks[edit]
Similar in construction to the Pioneer CT-S640 S, which has 2 more Dolby S chips and one more motor, as well as slightly better frequency response, but was built longer. (With the CT-S540 S only Dolby B can be heard when recording with rear band control).
- similar in construction also with its successor Pioneer CT-S550 S, which was built longer and has an extra motor for the cassette compartment/servo functions.
Other models in the same series:
- Real-time display is not carried along during winding - same "problem" with all Pioneer units with electr. counter ;
Pictures[edit]
Reports[edit]
- Only 1 test in Hifi magazines of the FRG, Audio 12/1995: Comparative test, upper class, 70 points, 4 ears (!), test winner
