Key features
Sound format
• Plays standard audio cassettes
• Stereo playback: 4-track, 2-channel
• Frequency range: around 40 Hz to 12,500 Hz for normal tapes; up to 16,000 Hz with metal tapes. 
Auto-Reverse
• Thanks to the auto-reverse function, the cassette tape does not need to be manually reversed; the player automatically switches direction so you can listen continuously. 
Equalizer (EQ)
• Often implemented with a small graphic equalizer or tone control (bass, mid, treble), which at the time offered a bit more flexibility in tailoring the audio output. 
Power
• Operates on 2 × AA batteries (LR6 / R6P), DC 3 V.
• Battery life in continuous use: ± 3.5 hours with standard batteries, up to ±7 hours with alkaline batteries. 
Outputs
• Headphone jack (3.5 mm) for personal listening
• No external built-in speakers — the device is purely intended for use with headphones. 
⸻
Physical specifications
• Dimensions: approximately 91.5 × 118.1 × 37.3 mm (W × H × D). 
• Weight: ± 310 g including batteries — relatively light and ideal for carrying in a pocket or backpack. 
• Construction: classic plastic housing with metal accents — black with silver details was a common color scheme. 
⸻
Mechanical details
• Mechanism: AIWA TN-52 basic tape drive, reliable for its time.
