Portable Stereo Panasonic RX-DT07
Hallmark of Panasonic RX-DT07 is tiltable control panel with LCD display. It shows not only the mode of the CD player and double cassette tape, but tape consumption, current time, timer, range and frequency of the received station, state equalizer and volume. Despite such an abundance of features, the display is very vivid. Raised panel provides access to a tape recorder, two mechanisms which can operate in both directions. The reverse is done by turning heads 180 degrees. Type of tape recording and playback is automatically detected, and the bias current and the correction for Cr and Me shared. This compromise leads to a fact that the cassette type recorded IEC II highpass loss, a IEC IV excess. The quality of the tape recording IEC I can satisfy the most demanding listener. Amplitudnochastotnaya feature on this tape, filmed on the headphone output is linear in the range 45 - 14500 Hz, approximately the same frequency range limits on chromium, written on metal frequencies up to 16,000 Hz, but the sound a bit harsh, especially when recording FM stations. Testing of this model (as well as everyone else) was performed on the following types of cassettes: IEC I - TDK AD; IEC II - Maxell UDXII, IEC IV - TDK MA-X. The mechanism works so quietly, that is not always clear whether or not the cartridge is spinning. Consider anything through the viewng window in the cassette compartment door is not possible, because they are very small. The tuner can receive ranges FM, MW and LW. Setting discrete increments of 50 kHz for FM and 9 kHz for AM. Available fixed setting 10 stations, and their selection is made only with the remote control. Reception clean in all ranges, capture stations sure, but the tuner was very sensitive to interference from cordless telephone and a computer.
CD player located at the bottom of the radio. Apart from the usual functions in the player sinhrostart provided for convenience rewrite CD on a tape. Form of amplitude-frequency characteristics could not be estimated, because they were not known to the EQ, permanently turned on in the audio path. MASH system one bit DAC provides soft and transparent sound. Great pleasure to communicate with this machine get fans of pop and rock music - it sounds impressively, not merging into a roar, tiring hearing.
Talking about the sound of the model Panasonic RX-DT07, one should note, in my opinion a very significant drawback. Of design considerations high emitters of both channels are very close to each other, causing the stereo zone is extremely narrow, and even stereo widening scheme Surround, so effective in other models, can not fix the situation.
