Features
Computer-Controlled Full Logic Control
Perfectly stable tape transport is an essential requirement for high-quality cassette sound reproduction. The DRM-555P employs a 1-motor quick reverse tape drive mechanism, controlled by a microprocessor, which ensures optimum performance and precise tape-to-head contact not only over the entire length of the tape but in both directions of the tape’s travel as well.
CD Synchro Record
The DRM-555P includes a CD Synchro Record function that lets you make recordings from CD easily, without performing separate keystroke operations on both the cassette deck and the CD player. With CD Synchro Record, one button does it all.
Dolby B and C Noise Reduction
Dolby HX Pro Headroom Extension System
Even though the DRM-555P is a more affordable deck, it is equipped with the advanced Dolby HX Pro system in addition to the popular Dolby B/C noise reduction systems. Dolby HX Pro extends the high-frequency saturation level during recording, allowing higher recording levels to be selected without sacrificing the lifelike quality of the program source. Because this system works by automatically adjusting the bias levels during recording on Normal, High, and Metal tapes, the tape can be played back on any other deck, including those without Dolby HX Pro.
Easy-to-Read Fluorescent Display
The fluorescent display on the DRM-555P includes a 4-digit electronic counter, separate left- and right-channel output level indicators featuring peak hold display, covering a range from -40 dB to +10 dB in 12 stages, and other vital operation modes in an easy-to-read layout.
Tape Bias Adjustment Control
The DRM-555P’s bias adjustment knob lets you achieve the ideal bias setting with any type or brand name of tape. Standard bias is provided in the center clickstop position.
Memory Stop
When the Memory button is pressed while the tape is in motion, the location of that point is automatically stored in the DRM-555P’s memory.
Music Search System
Press the PLAY and FF buttons together and playback will start from the beginning of the next selection. Similarly, pressing PLAY and REW will return the tape to the beginning of the selection currently in play.
