Commentary
A stereo cassette deck equipped with Dolby S.
High bias is adopted, and 160 kHz, which is higher than the normal bias frequency, is used.
This prevents noise such as beat distortion.

In this system, even tapes with different high-sound recording characteristics can be continuously changed while simultaneously recording and playing back, so that it can be adjusted to the optimum level of audibility. In addition, even if the high-sound is too emphasized or too weak when playing back a tape recorded on another cassette deck, the high-frequency characteristics can be adjusted with play-trim, making it possible to play back with the optimum balance of audibility.
