A remote control on the headphone cord offers convenient direct access to all of the unit"s functions. The sound system utilizes Dolby B noise reduction in playback mode to eliminate distracting tape hiss, while the Mega Bass sound system with "groove sound" position produces deeper, richer bass tones for more pleasing overall sound.

Auto reverse stereo cassette playback provides uninterrupted playback of both cassette sides, while the anti-rolling mechanism maintains a stable tape speed to maximize the sound quality while the unit is in motion during jogging and other activities. The automatic shut-off feature in the playback mode helps extend battery life and helps prevent mechanical wear by turning off the unit at the end of the tape.
