INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Harman Kardon
dual cassette deck. And congratulations!
Your new unit is an exceptionally well-
engineered product that will give you years
of superb performance.
The special features of this unit include:
@ Dual Mode Copying
The unit makes high quality, better
sounding cassette copies in either “real
time” or at high speed.
@ Unique Operating Software
Operating software designed with the user
in mind offers simple, streamlined unit
operations.
m@ Auto Tape Sensor
The unit determines the type of fape in use
and sets Bias/Equalization circuitry
automatically.
@ Quick Auto Reverse
While in Record mode, the unit senses the
leader at the end of the tape and
automatically reverses the tape direction,
permitting extended recording times.
@ Linear Time Counter
Tape position is indicated in minutes and
seconds.
m@ Discrete Circuitry
For maximum design flexibility and highest
possible performance, the playback
circuitry has been designed using discrete
electronic components, not off-the-shelf
integrated circuits.
@ Large Fluorescent Display
Function settings and signal levels are
indicated in bright, clear alpbhanumerics and
an easy-to-read format.
m@ Ergonomic Design
Controls are engineered and positioned for
simple, error-free recording and playback.
@ Intro Scan
(DC5500 and DC5700 only) At a single
touch, the unit automatically previews a
pre-recorded tape, playing the first 15
seconds of each segment, then rapidly
advancing to the next.
@ Music Search
(DC5500 and DC5700 only) Music Search
feature rapidly locates the start of any
desired segment on a pre-recorded tape.
m@ Remote Control
(DC5500 and DC5700 only.) Convenient
unit includes commonly used functions, as
well as special features such as Intro Scan
and Music Search.
m Dolby* HX PRO
(DC5500 and DC5700 only) Special
recording circuitry automatically monitors
signal levels and adjusts bias in the
presence of momentary high frequency
peaks. This allows you to record at higher
input levels (for better signal quality)
without distortion. Dolby HX Pro operates
automatically whenever recordings are
made, and the resulting higher-fidelity tape
can be played back on any casseite deck.
