Dual Cassette TransportThe dual twin-head decks can each be used for recording or playback, or can be used together. Recording and playback is supported on both decks. Additionally, TAPE 1 has pitch control and TAPE 2 has an RTZ (Return to Zero: return the counter to 0000) function. |
Parallel Recording FeatureThe parallel recording function for TAPE 1 and 2 records audio to both decks simultaneously, creating two tapes with the same source. A master tape and a copy for distribution can be created simultaneously when immediate distribution is needed after recording, skipping the need for duplicating the master tape. |
Recordable Mic InputA front panel microphone input is available and can be mixed with cassette 1 audio and recorded real time to cassette 2 for karaoke or voice over applications. Even connect a musical instrument like guitar, bass, or electronic keyboard and record. A separate microphone input function allows you to control the microphone volume for a perfect vocal (or instrument) mix. |
One-Touch DubbingDubbing the contents of one tape to the other is available at the touch of a button. |
USB Recording Output
Cassettes can now be recorded and archived to an external USB-capable digital recorder using the 202MKVII USB output. Archive your cassette collection to digital media for playback digitally, or create new recordings using the new microphone mixing function and then transfer them digitally via USB.
Special Mode
In "SPECIAL" playback mode, you can monitor the sound from one tape using headphones while the other tape is playing (outputting from LINE OUT), making it easy to cue another tape.
In "NORMAL" playback mode, as with conventional models, when playing a tape in either system, the sound is output from LINE OUT and PHONES.

Comes with a stereo install panel that makes it a bit wide and bulky, but easily removed with the turn of four screws if you aren't attaching into a cabinet . Tape doors are a little slow to open, but close easily and line up well. Worth the money.
Does not come with RCA cables. Save yourself some time and order a set with the player.
Pioneer CT-W770 Double Cassette Tape Deck Recorder Player Dolby) which failed to work right out of the box. The Tascam deck feels very solid and well-made. The sound quality is excellent and I really enjoy having the remote control. Of course, I wish the price was lower, but I feel that this deck will have a very long life and that it is worth the price in the end. Highly recommend!
I feel like I've ripped off!

The USB output is really only needed if you don't have a proper sound card with analog input (it's line-level, so you can run the output directly into your sound card).
I had *no* issues using 90 minute cassettes in this deck. I recorded from vinyl and dubbed between deck 1/2 without any issue(s). The "return to zero" feature is also great.
That being said, I returned this deck and bought a fully serviced Yamaha KX-W 262 (belts replaced, demagnetized, speed adjusted & cleaned) because $978 is ridiculous. You can get a 3 head Nikko or Sony (re-certified) for about 500 CAD.
If I could justify the cost, I'd have kept this deck (the TEAC version would have been just fine, but Amazon doesn't sell that deck directly).
