SANYO CS-10 (1990)

 

By positioning the tape transport mechanism in the center of the unit, it achieves excellent balance against both external and internal vibrations, mitigating their negative effects. This highly stable tape transport fully utilizes the capabilities of Super VHS, which boasts a horizontal resolution of over 400 lines. Furthermore, a separate construction is realized by separating the power supply block, which is a source of noise, to suppress noise interference between each circuit. Mid-mount technology achieves a level of quality approaching that of standard mode, even in 3x speed mode. Super VHS, with a horizontal resolution of over 400 lines. The luminance signal bandwidth was widened by approximately 2.6 MHz, and the white peak was shifted up to 7.0 MHz. This dramatically increased the amount of video information that could be recorded, resulting in a horizontal resolution of over 400 lines. Twin impedance rollers reduce screen shake and color distortion. To reduce screen wobble and color shift caused by unstable tape transport, it is equipped with two brass impedance rollers. The jitter value, which manifests as image wobble and blur, has been suppressed to 0.07% or less. This provides stable, high-quality images, especially for large-screen TVs where wobble and blur are particularly noticeable.

Basic operation of Sanyo and other major manufacturers' TVs can be controlled with just one remote. Simply specify the manufacturer with a special code; complex operations like those of a learning remote are unnecessary. All buttons on the TV control section are independent and do not overlap with other buttons. The hassle of using separate remotes for the TV and VCR has been eliminated. Power, Volume, Mute, TV, TV/VCR - Channel +, TV Control - Digital auto-tracking where the microcomputer automatically adjusts to the optimal picture quality. ● Rewind a 120-minute tape in just about 2 minutes and 30 seconds. The "New Instant Sensitivity Mechanism" also has a convenient FR search. ● Beautiful editing of spliced ​​recordings with a bandwidth-separated flying erase head. ● Front input terminal with L/MONO for easy connection to video cameras. ● High-speed tape remaining time display that shows the remaining time on the tape. ● REC end search that finds unrecorded portions of the tape. ●Blue screen function to eliminate unpleasant noise when playing back unrecorded sections. ●All-key lock to prevent accidental operation.

The Onkyo Radian C70 is a "Real-Time CD multi program compo" from 1989. This top-of-the range midi hi-fi system featured a wide variety of comfort functions such as: Real-time super dubbing/recording - Simply insert the CD and tape, then press the switch once. It fully automates advanced editing operations, from peak level searching and tape cueing to real-time time-end editing based on the remaining tape time, and fade-outs. This ensures high-quality CD recording. | CD Multi-file / Up to 227 discs on one disc. Each unit stores four personal menus. Contents such as character selection, memory selection, graphic pattern, and digital peak search are filed away. It offers a new way to enjoy CD playback. | CD PLAYER - High-performance model employing optical digital transmission: Optical digital transmission sends music via optical fiber all the way to the D/A converter built into the amplifier. This advanced technology achieves high-purity sound. | CASSETTE DECK - Equipped with high-quality Dolby HX-PRO sound. You can automatically record side A to side A and side B to side B. Twin real-time counter. Real-time counters that digitally display the elapsed/remaining time of the tape in minutes and seconds are independently equipped on Tape 1 and Tape 2. This is highly effective for advanced editing tasks. | Other Features - Dolby B/C NR REC Level Volume, Double reverse mechanism, 5-segment level indicator, Fully automatic tape selector | AMPLIFIER - Digital amplifier with built-in high-precision D/A converter. It features a built-in D/A converter that converts digital signals into music.
