Beocord 8000 had its own microcomputer which took care of most of the tasks involved in recording and listening to cassette tapes. The microcomputer was also responsible for one of Beocord 8000’s most advanced and unique features - the real-time tape counter. Actual minutes and seconds were used to measure elapsed time so you always knew how much recording time was left to fill.

Signal input levels were indicated on electronically-controlled Peak-programme Meters that performed to standards set for professional studio and broadcasting recorders. The signal level was monitored on both recording and playback.

The tape head of Beocord 8000 was a single combination head of superb technical quality. Both the poles and the beddings were made of Sendust alloy. As with all Bang & Olufsen recorders, a special additional circuit automatically demagnetised the head each time the STOP function was used at the end of a recording.

Locating particular recordings was quick and easy using the Beocord's computerised tape address system. Just key in the track's start time - in minutes and seconds - press GO, and wait a few seconds. The tape automatically wound to that location and began to play.

For recording an important broadcast while you were out of the house (or when you didn't want to spend the evening clock-watching) there was a twenty-four hour electronic timer. With a few touches to the programming buttons you could store the station, start time and stop time in the microcomputer's memory. It then carried out your instructions at the appropriate hour - regardless of how you used the recorder in the interim.
