There’s no need to use the stop bution when changing modes—just go directly into any mode (except record), including rewind, fast forward, and play. And when recording, a touch of the record button also engages both the play and the pause mechanisms automatically —then just touch the play button to begin recording. Thus, you avoid the difficulties and inconvenience of having to engage all these controls separately and manually If you want even more convenient operation, use the optional AP-9645 remote control module. You can control all transport functions, plus record muting, from the comfort of your listening position. There is even a convenient front panel input jack for connecting the remote control Unit; when not in use, a special cover protects the jack from dust and impurities. = 4) optional remote contro! unit (RP-9645) iple-to-Use Features We believe that convenience features are worthwhile only if they are easy to use—all the RS-M250's features can be engaged and used with a minimum of effort. For example, we provide a switch which allows the use of an external timer, and the hook-up is extremely simple—the entire operation can be controlled from the front panel. The same point of view explains the door on the cassette well. Its removable for easy access to the heads for examination or cleaning No bolts or screws—the door simply slides into piace. As you can see, the RS-M250 is designed for simple operation of all functions, Performance Of course, all the features in the world aren't worth much if the deck lacks good basic performance characteristics. Fortunately, the RS-M250's performance is superb, particularly in light of its modest price tag. A glance at the spec table ‘will demonstrate our devotion to quality. And the tapes which you make with the RS-M250 will sound consistently clean, crisp, realistic, and natural. We have also included the necessary extras to ensure this, ‘excellent performance under virlually any circumstances: Meters For example, our FL peak reading meters employ a peak hold readout —this means that peaks are retained on the meter for 2 seconds Then the meters automatically reset until the next peak comes along, The 2 color readout clearly indicates the 0 8 point, so you can be sure that the recording level will always be accurate, Result? Tape recordings with low noise, low distortion, and superb fidelity Tape Selector Switch Naturally, we have included a selector switch to set bias and equalization for metal tape, the latest technological advance in the cassette medium. This formulation also necessitated an improvement in the saturation flux density of the recording head itself—our improved SX recordipiayback head yields exemplary performance with any type of tape, The Sendust formulation also assures a long life for the head with only normal routine maintenance. FM Recording Recording a program from an FM signal source will also yield a very high quality recording. The front panel MPX filter switch removes the carrier pilot signal from the tape input, thereby avoiding the distortion associated with this signal Input select MPx fiter Dolby NA ‘The Technics RS-M250—an ‘excellent combination of fine basic performance and the features to make the deck flexible enough for a wide variety of applications. Plus, it includes something which has become a Technics tradition— outstanding value for the money.Memory Operation: How It Works > Memory, = ae @y— | Other Features to low wow and flutter and good = | — oe #2 motor drive system—one for reliability .
