Top of the range deck made for the Japanese market. Sounds incredible. Recent service. Remote is NOT included but is available in another listing. Comes with step down transformer. Negatives: small dent on top, a few scuffs here and there and the headphone volume knob does not work, otherwise fully working. Thinning out collection hence sale.
three head cassette deck equipped with a digital processing system.
A digital processing system is used for signal processing inside the deck.
In this method, the music signal read by the playback head is converted into a digital music signal, and the subsequent signal processing is done by digital processing with little degradation, thereby suppressing degradation caused by high-frequency correction and level correction.
In addition, it is equipped with a Legato link conversion, which is also installed in CD players. It reproduces music signals in the audible band above 20 kHz by estimating them from signals within the audible band and 1/f characteristics, and realizes wide-band playback up to 40 kHz.
Digital noise reduction is installed in the digital circuit.
In this circuit, the audio frequency band is divided into multiple bands by a digital filter, and the hissing is separated and removed by increasing the level difference between the music signal and noise, thereby achieving an S/N ratio of 90 dB when the Dolby NR is on.
This digital noise reduction does not need to be encoded at the time of recording, and is capable of high S/N playback on tapes recorded on other decks or in the past.
Equipped with digital FLEX (Frequency Level Expander).
This function is used for tapes that are muffled due to degradation of high-frequency sound quality. This function automatically adjusts the high-frequency level to the 1/f characteristic so that even tapes with poor high-frequency characteristics can be played with clear sound.
Equipped with a digital XD (Extended Dynamic Range) FLAT System.
With this circuit, the recording and playback frequency characteristics can be tuned to a flat level by digital processing with one touch according to the tape to be used. By checking the high-frequency recording characteristics of the tape to be used with a computer and carrying out bias control that is optimal for the tape, higher precision correction capability and a wide dynamic range in the high-frequency range can be obtained.
The digital input terminal allows recording from digital devices with an optical output at a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz. The T-D7 also has a digital input terminal on the front.
In addition, it is equipped with a digital sync function so that recording starts automatically when a music signal is input.
Equipped with digital ALCA (Auto Level Control with Tape Analysis) function.
When recording with digital input, the recording level can be automatically adjusted to the optimum level. The peak and initial recording levels are set based on the bias and sensitivity analysis of the FLAT SYSTEM and the high-frequency and high-level recording capability analysis, and the recording level is set according to the input signal. Thus, even tapes with different characteristics can be recorded at the appropriate recording level.
Manual operation is required for analog input.
