Pioneer CT-F900

Stereo Cassette Tape Deck (1978-79)

The Pioneer CT-F900 is a 2-motor, stereo cassette deck with microprocessor and all electronic, 3-head transport.

The electronic digital counter of the CT-F900 permits memory play and repeat and memory stop, while the Digitron tube display with 20 segments for recording and playback level monitoring replaces traditional meters.

Other features include Dolby NR switch, chrome tape sensor with automatic bias and equalisation switching, monitoring for tape and source, continuously adjustable bias, and repeat function permitting infinite replay from any point of the tape.

Outstanding frequency response and low distortion are obtained from the Sendust Alloy (iron, aluminium and silicone compound) record/play head combination.
