Thank you for your purchase of the ONKYO TA-RW244/144 Cassette Tape Deck.

Features

Full-logic record/play transports with auto reverse and continuous play

Full-logic controls provide smooth, trouble-free electronic switching, and keep you from having to press the stop button when switching between functions. And auto-reverse/continuous play lets you play both sides of both cassettes in sequence, without having to take out the tapes and flip them over.

Two eight-segment peak-holding fluorescent meters

The easy-to-read FL meters have peak-holding functions, which are indispensable when setting the best record/playback levels.

Four-digit electronic tape counter

The large, clear electronic tape counter shows the current tape position, so you can easily edit and locate specific sections.

CD synchro recording

This feature lets you easily make accurate recordings from a compact disc at a touch of a button, when your tape deck is connected to certain z (remote interactive) compatible ONKYO CD players.

z (Remote Interactive) compatible

If you’re one of the fortunate ones who own other ONKYO components that bear the z mark, simple single-cable connection lets you operate all of the major functions of both transports of your TA-RW244/144 with the other component’s remote. (The remote control supplied with ONKYO z CD players covers Deck-B functions only.)

Other features

•Auto tape selector:Automatically sets the optimum bias and equalization levels for the type of tape you insert.

•Dolby B and C Noise Reduction:Reduces the audibility of undesirable tape hiss while retaining music nuances.

•Auto space rec mute:Inserts precise five-second breaks between songs to give your tapes a more professional touch and to make

music search easier.
