Tape not included. Nakamichi Dragon is a Three Head Auto Reverse Cassette DeckNakamichi auto azimuth correction (NAAC) operates continuously in either replay or recording mode and is able to correct azimuth errors of up to 12 arc minutes. The NAAC has no memory: each tape eject and each change of replay direction erases the current setting and returns the replay head to its default position. The systems is reactivated immediately upon pressing the play button. The head remains stationary if the detected azimuth error lies within the deadband limits; higher error values engage servomechanism action. When the recorded signal has sufficient content, head alignment to 1 arc-minute precision takes from 1 to 5 seconds and usually remains unnoticed by the listener. If the recorded signal contains very little high-frequency energy, the system detects uncertainty and slows down or does not engage at all. NAAC is not completely foolproof; it can be confused and disturbed by unusually strong ultrasonic signals and very fast audio-frequency sweeps. Such unnatural, non-musical signals cause "some hunting" as the NAAC tries to seek a nonexistent or quickly changing target. DescriptionThe Nakamichi Dragon is a truly unique deck.It is a direct drive, auto reverse cassette deck incorporating the epoch making NAAC system for automatic azimuth correction of the playback head.Thanks to the NAAC system, sound quality differences between forward and reverse are completely eliminated and perfect playback is possible under all conditions.Furthermore, manual calibration facilities for record sensitivity and bias permit high precision adjustment to suit the requirements of every tape.
