Traditionally JVC cassette decks had the cassette mechanism on the right side of the front panel. With the introduction of the TD-V711 the mechanism was moved to the left side, a solution used by most manufacturers. The TD-V711 was also the first Dual Capstan model, breaking with the tradition of single capstan 3-head decks by JVC. The TD-V711 was also the basis for the later TD-V1010TN and TD-V1050TN Titan-Line models. The Japanese market version Victor TD-V711 presented here, was introduced in 1987. This model already features the "Solid Base for Higher Stability and Low Resonance" that was only later introduced with the TD-V1010TN and TD-V1050TN models on international markets. The international version JVC TD-V711 had no solid base element but they were available with wood side panels and without remote as the Super Digifine Series. The TD-V711 has a 2+1 motor full-logic controlled "silent mechanism" with Closed-loop dual-capstan drive with Pulse Servo Direct-Drive motor. For the 3-head configuration there is a SA (Sen Alloy) recording head, Amorphous playback head and ferrite erase head. The deck features double Dolby B and C noise reduction circuit and Dolby HX-Pro headroom extension circuit. On the large multi-mode display there is a 2x16 segment fluorescent level meter with Digital Peak Display, digital tape counter and a series of function status segments. There are 3 separate source inputs at the back with front selector as well as manual Bias control for optimal recordings with any tape. Straightforward circuit layout for clean signal transmission, separate circuit construction for low interference, DC-configured amps on separate PC board as well as low-impedance voltage-tracking regulated power supply will all contribute to a dynamic reproduction with extremely low noise.
