Product Review:
The Pioneer CT-W606DR dual-well cassette deck is not willing to let the digital revolution pass it by. Just slightly more expensive than a standard analog recorder, it uses Pioneer's unique digital signal processing to greatly enhance the signal to noise ratio for recording as well as playback. By converting the analog signal to digital with a 20-bit converter, no analog noise is introduced from the record or replay circuitry. This results in cleaner analog tape recordings. Both transports have auto-reverse, although only one side is capable of recording, and they both have Dolby B and C noise reduction and Dolby HX Pro. Automatic tape selection enhances sonic performance. The relay feature allows for hours of uninterrupted playback. The music search is available for up to 15 tracks. Included in the long list of convenience features are headphone outputs, CD Syncho start, and full logic controls to protect tapes from transport damage.
