The A-6600 isn't the only auto-reverse deck.
It's only the best.
Or to put it another way, the A-6600 is one-of-a-kind. Period. Sure, there are other decks that reverse automatically. But the TEAC A-6600's three-motor transport system was developed specifically for bi-directional play; two capstans pull the tape, one for each direction. Naturally, there's a heavy-duty servo-controlled DC capstan motor to provide smooth, precise tape movement.
And just like a professional mixer, there are master gain controls for both mic and line inputs, plus separate left and right channel input level controls.
When you're taping from the radio or records, the "Auto-Space" feature is an extra feature you'll love. When you stop the deck between selections, you can automatically add approximately TEAC 3 to 10 seconds of quiet space, so you're all cued up for the next selection.
You can monitor tape or source signals either pre or post output level, setting, and you don't have to reverse the deck to hear if there's music on the other tracks.
Clearly, the A-6600 is not just a convenience" machine for people who don't want to get up to flop reels. It's a professional-quality computer-designed tape recording and play back deck, which happens to also play both ways automatically.
Truly, one-of-a kind.
