Unfair
to competition! Introducing Sony/Superscope's new Auzo-Reverse Model 780.
Here is the most sophisticated tape deck ever built, with every capability,
every performance as:ect, the most serious music-lover and hobbyist could possibly
want. No other tape recorder on the market even comes close to the 780. ESP
Auto-Reverse with Tape/Source Monitoring in Both Directions. The unique Sony/Superscope
780 records, plays back, and permits tape/source monitoring in both directions.
Reverse mode switch selects one-time or continuous reverse. Unique design permits
recording and tape/source monitoring in both directions.
Tape-Equalization Selector Switch. Get the most out of your tapes by selecting proper record-equalization curve and bias voltage matched exactly to either standard or low-noise tapes.
Built-In Logic Circuit Regulates Relay-Operated Solenoid Controls. Tap the feather-touch solenoid pushbuttons for play, fast-forward, and rewind, in any order, without going into stop mode.
Sony/Superscope's logic circuit "computer" ends breakage or spillage of tape under any conditions. Plug in the optional Model RM-11 full-function remote-control for push-button operation without leaving your easy chair.
6-Head Function with Sony Exclusive Roto-Bilateral Head Assembly. This unique three-head assembly is actually equivalent to 6 separate heads and provides complete recording features of tape/source monitoring, sound-on-sound, and echo in both directions of tape travel.
Closed- Loop, Three-Head Tape-Drive System. Two interlocked capstans provide perfect tape tension and tape-to-head contact in both directions. The three-speed Servo-Controlled drive motor maintains precise tape speed regardless of variations in AC power.
Electronic Sensory Search, Another Sony exclusive-put on your favorite prerecorded tape and press the ESS button. The Model TC-780 switches to fast-forward, precisely locates the beginning of the recorded material, stops, and shifts to playback mode. All automatically. No long leader-tape delay.
Separate Headphone Controls. Full monitoring flexibility is assured with a three-position volume control and separate mode selector switch for left channel only, right channel only, or stereo.
Mic/Line Mixing. Four separate professional-type slide controls regulate the recording levels for both microphone and line inputs.

When you're number one in tape recorders you don't make the number-two tape.
It costs a few pennies more. But Sony professional-quality recording Tape makes a world of difference in how much better your recorder sounds-and keeps on sounding.
