Unique Pioneer technologies;

This specific model features several handy automatic systems to get the most out of your cassette tapes:
• Auto BLE: This system automatically calibrates bias, recording level and equalizer settings to perfectly tailor the recording to the specific brand and type of tape you are using.
• FLEX (Frequency Level Expander): Automatically compensates for a lack of high tones when playing older or moderately recorded tapes (a boost of up to 12 dB around 10 kHz).
• ALCA (Automatic Level Control with Tape Analysis): Analyzes the tape and the input signal to automatically set the optimal recording level, making distortion or manual adjustments unnecessary.

Condition: Excellent condition. Deck 1 perfect, Deck 2 does not operate, gives a click when playing, spins but does not.
