without using an external microphone.

•Stereo headphones jack

•The PB EQ (playback equalizer) switch selects the tape.

•The VOR (Voice Operated Recording) system starts and stops
recording automatically in response to the sound, and thus saves
tapes and batteries.

•You can increase or decrease the playback tape speed.

•Stop-pause-release—The pause switch is released automatically
when the H STOP button is depressed. Thus, you don't miss a
