The main features of the Akai CS-34D are: 2 heads, analog 3 digit tape counter, manual tape type selection with support for normal and chrome tapes, belt driven single-capstan transport. Typical of this deck is the 70's top loading layout with the cassette compartiment located on the center of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well. Level meters used on the CS-34D are analog needle VU reading meters. Mechanical transport controls for reliable CS-34D transport function selection. The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the CS-34D by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. Unit has been tested and works great !
