Product information

■ Overview

A cassette deck and CD player in a single unit. This combined model also supports recording and
playback with USB flash drives for a total of three types of media. The built-in mic input jack also
allows you to enjoy karaoke using backing music playing from a CD, cassette or USB flash drive.
You can also mix in the mic input sound and record it to a cassette tape or USB flash drive.*1 A
variety of recording combinations are supported, including recording from a cassette tape, CD,
external input or mic input to a USB flash drive (as an MP3 file) as well as recording from a CD,
USB flash drive (MP3 file), mic input or external input to a cassette tape*1. Extensive timer
functions include cassette recording and playback as well as CD and USB flash drive playback.
Various playback modes include programmed, repeat and shuffle playback from CDs and USB
flash drives. This cassette mechanism is a two-head single one-way type and supports cassette
tapes in normal, chrome and metal (playback only) positions. This model offers key functions
including pitch control playback (±10% adjustment range).

■ USB flash drive recording and playback supported

In addition to recording from CDs, cassette tapes and external input devices to USB flash drives
(as MP3 files), CDs, MP3 files on USB flash drives and external input devices can also be recorded
to cassette tapes. Recorded files will be saved to automatically generated folders according to
the source (CD, LINE or TAPE) on USB flash drives, enabling easy digital to analog conversion
without a computer.

■ Microphone input built in

A mic input jack is built into the front of the unit. You can record a mic connected to this unit by
itself, of course. You can also mix in the mic signal when playing back and recording CDs,
cassettes and USB flash drives.
*The mic sound cannot be recorded when recording from a CD to a USB flash drive.

■ Echo effect

Echo can be added to the sound from the mic connected to this unit. The front panel switch can
be used to set the effect to two levels or turn it off. With the AD-850 and a mic, you can easily
enjoy karaoke. (You will also need a separate amplifier and speakers for karaoke.)

Echo explanation
This adds reverberations to the original sound. The original sound is repeated with various
amounts of delay and damping over time to produce an almost natural reverberation sound,
similar to that heard in a hall or studio.
