DESIGN INTEGRITY: WHAT MAKES DENON CASSETTE DECKS UNCOMMON IS HOW MUCH THEY HAVE IN COMMON.
Denon has never built multi-thousand dollar cassette decks in order to sell unrelated inexpensive machines. Instead, Denon has concentrated its full engineering effort to produce rationally-priced cassette decks that would impress serious music lovers with their sound rather than their features. Now, the new DR-M4, DR-M3 and DR-M2 cassette decks exceed Denon's previous sonic performance levels, while adding significant technological and convenience features.
Denon's Tape Tension Servo Sensor System has been further refined to provide automatic sensing and correction of tape tension for optimum tape-to-head contact throughout the entire play of each cassette. A new F combination head extends frequency response to 23kHz (metal) with a 70dB SIN ratio (Dolby C). A new computer controlled silent tape transport mechanism provides entirely quiet and safe tape handling. An electronic computer digital courier using a laser detector system automatically indicates tape used and tape remaining information.
The DR-M Cassette Decks feature Denon's Flat Twin direct capstan drive; non-slip clutch-less, beltless, reel drive mechanisms; Dolby B & C noise reduction; direct-coupled amplifier design, and separate amp/ mechanical power supplies.
The DR-M3 offers computer tape tuning for bias and sensitivity. The DR-M4 adds programmable random excess, stopwatch function and dual-capstan transport. Otherwise, all the Denon DR-M Series Cassette Decks are principally the same-each offering the highest performance and quality at its price in the industry.
Denon products share more than name alone.

WHY PUT TWO FILTERS INTO ONE GREAT COMPACT DISC PLAYER?
Kyocera goes to double lengths to make sure there's no distortion in its DA-01 Compact Disc Player. It's got both digital and analog filters so nobody hears distortion.
The advantage of digital and analog filtering systems.
Modern technology has made analog filters pretty effective. But there can be a problem-analog filters by themselves render limited performance. By combining an analog filter with a digital filter, and precisely applying both types in just the right way, the limitations found with analog filters are not there anymore. Thanks to the unique use of these filters, and an impressive array of very advanced circuitry, the Kyocera CD Player provides accurate, crystal-clear, life like sound.
The awesome specs that only digital can provide.
Needless to say, the Kyocera DA-01 comes through with some specs that are mind-boggling: A full 90 dB dynamic range...flat frequency response from 20-20,000 Hz ... quiet 90 dB S/N ratio...and total isolation 90 dB channel separation.
And, just in case you didn't realize it, with the fabulous disc player system, as provided in Kyocera's DA-01 Player, there is no contact between disc and play back head. No tics, clicks, pops.
scratches or record wear. And the DA-01 plugs right into your present audio system-Kyocera or others just like a conventional turntable.
Easy to use, but total control of every function.
The DA-01 is easier to use than a modern cassette deck-slide the compact disc into the disc compartment, shut the door and hit the play button. With the DA-01's feather-touch controls, you can play the whole thing (60 minutes a side)...repeat a track ... scan ... pause ... skip ... advance... index ... and program up to 24 different segments with an electronic memory. A functional LED digital panel tells you program running time and just where the optical scanner is on the disc.
Admittedly, our DA-01's are carried only by selected dealers.

HOW CAN SANSUI CLAIM THE D-970 IMPROVES EVERY TAPE YOU'LL EVER MAKE? SIMPLE.
ITS III-TECIII FEATURES INCLUDE COMPU-TREC.
Sansui's remarkably innovative approach to microcomputer technology is the reason Sansui cassette decks have an unfair advantage over other cassette decks.
Sansui's new top-of-the-line D-970 full-logic cassette deck proves it conclusively.
Compu-Trec fine tunes for best performance.
With its Compu-Trec microcomputer system, the D-970 automatically fire tunes itself for correct bias, recording level and equalization for optimum high level performance from any tape on the market. And it does it in less than five seconds. That faster than any other deck.
Sansui's hi-tech features put more pleasure in recording.
As the most advanced deck Sansui has ever produced, the D-970 is packed with features and refinements that let you transfer every nuance of sound onto tape- and actually monitor it while you're recording. The unique combination of the precision coreless FG-servo direct-drive capstan motor and the Dyna Scrape filter with Hold-Back Tension servo, glides the tape smoothly over the three high performance heads.
The result is 0.025% wow and flutter-less than the most expensive deck in the world.
And Dolby C/B noise reduction is responsible for a superb 81dB signal-to-noise ratio.
There's also a Dual Memory for repeat play on any section of tape, a 4-digit counter that's also a timer and a real-time clock: 12 LED peak meters: and audio record mute. Sansui has made high-performance recording completely effortless Great Sansui decks with the uncommon in common.
There's a lot of the precision and operating convenience of the D-970 in every cassette deck Sansui makes. So regard less which you choose, you're assured superb recordings every time-automatically.

Teac, Series Z cassette decks
WE DON'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP
One top-of-the-line cassette deck is sufficient for most manufacturers. But not for Teac. We make three. Our new Series Z.
The most advanced, most feature-filled cassette line we've ever built.
Most manufacturers would be content with two direct drive motors. Our new Z-6000 and Z-7000 have three.
Having Dolby B and C noise reduction was not enough.
We had to add dbx and dbx disc. Plus more bias control, more automatic systems, more professional features than anyone ever dreamed of in a cassette deck.
They all come with Computomatic, Teac's micro-chip memory system. Combine the memory with its list of programmable functions and Series Z's capabilities are expanded to unheard-of levels of performance.
But the unheard-of is commonplace at Teac. When it comes to building tape recording equipment our obsession with excellence drives us beyond the bounds of all reason.

Inside or out.

Most portable headphones have a way of slipping off your head. But not Koss Sound Partner stereophones. They stay in place comfortably even if you're jogging, jumping rope or standing on your head. What's more, they fold to a size no- bigger than the palm of your hand.
But then, the Koss Music Box AM/FM portable stereo receiver has more going for it than superior stereophones. It has a sound that invites comparison with expensive home stereo systems.
There's a local/distance sensitivity switch. A tone control. A wrist strap plus a carrying case with belt loops. It's even slim enough and light enough to slip into a shirt pocket.
PORTABLE AM FM STEREOPHONE
RECEIVER
Visit your audio dealer and compare the Koss Music Box and its exclusive Sound Partner stereo phones with other portable units. You'll jump for joy at the Sound of Koss
... but don't worry, the stereophones will stay on, and on, and on. Beautifully! Suggested retail $89 95 KOSS, music/box.
1982, Koss.
The Koss Music Box is the only Am/Fm portable stereo that comes with the stereophones that won't this.
