Full Selection of Play and Recording Modes (Single, Reverse, Relay, Timer Play, Timer Recording)

The DRW-585 provides a variety of playback and recording modes. Besides the usual Single and Reverse play modes, when the Relay Play mode has been selected and the Play button is pressed, deck A first starts playback, followed automatically by deck B after both sides of the tape in deck A have been played. This feature permits long, uninterrupted music playback. You can also connect an external power timer to the DRW-585 to allow you to wake up to your favorite tape, or to take advantage of the deck's Timer Recording mode.

Memory Stop

If you press the MEMORY button, turning on the Memory Stop function ("MEMO" is displayed), and then press the Rewind button, even during playback, the tape will rewind and automatically stop at the "0000" position on the tape counter.

Normal or High-speed Dubbing

Two dubbing modes are provided: Normal and High-speed. The latter mode copies tapes from Deck A to Deck B at two times the normal speed of tape travel.

Dolby B/C Noise Reduction

Dolby B reduces tape hiss by up to 10 dB, and Dolby C reduces tape hiss by up to 20 dB, perfect for recording from CD.

Manual Bias Adjustment Control

A variable bias adjustment is provided for greater control over recording characteristics. The center stop position provides the best results with most tape brands. The variable adjustment allows you to fine-tune the recording bias for the flattest frequency response with virtually any type of tape (Type I and Type II).

CD Synchro Record Function

The CD synchro record function allows you to easily make recordings from your Denon CD player without performing sepa-rate operations on both the cassette deck and the CD player.

Backlight

A backlight is provided to let you see the remaining amount of tape more easily.

nIndependent Tape Counters for Deck A and Deck B

Deck A and Deck B have their own tape counters so you can monitor the progress of both tapes simultaneously.
