Optimus DCT-2000
Features
Your new Optimus DCT-2000 DCC (Digital Compact Cassette) Deck introduces a
new generation of digital audio. The DCT 2000 can play or record DCCs, which
give you the same super sound quality as a compact disc or digital audio tape
(DAT). But the DCT-2000 does even more-it can also play your existing collection
of standard audio (analog) cassettes. This versatility is unmatched by any other
digital audio device on the market.
Your DCC deck lets you record a digital copy of another digital medium, such
as a CD or DAT (if the medium is not copy-protected). The deck also features
analog (non-digital)inputs that let you make digital recordings of analog
program material.
The DCT-2000 gives you the best in digital audio by providing the following
special features:
- Digital Connection Jacks-let you connect a digital audio device that has
fiber-optic or standard phono digital jacks, for unsurpassed dubbing quality.
- ID Editing System-lets you add ID markers to a user-recorded DCC for more
control over tape playback.
- Automatic Search Music System (ASMS)-helps you quickly find the beginning of
tracks on a DCC.
- Timer Display-shows elapsed and remaining times on an entire DCC or a single
selection on a DCC.
- Text Display-shows the album title, song title, and album credits on
prerecorded DCCs.
- Track Programming-lets you program the deck to play only selected tracks on
a DCC.
- Automatic Reverse Play-lets you set the deck to play one or both sides of a
DCC, or both sides continually (up to eight times).
- Record Mute-lets you easily record a silent section on a recordable DCC.
- Dolby NR (B and C) reduces tape hiss and background noise on standard audio
(analog) cassettes recorded using Dolby NR.
- Four-Sector Mono Compatibility-lets you play prerecorded, four-sector mono
DCCs, which can contain up to 3 hours of monaural program material.
- Wireless Remote Control-lets you control the deck's main playback functions
from a distance.
