Toshiba PT-490 cassette deck (ad) ( Feb. 1974)

NOW YOU CAN RECORD ON A DOLBY CASSETTE DECK FOR 2 STRAIGHT HOURS WITHOUT FLIPPING

THE TOSHIBA PT-490 WITH AUTOMATIC REVERSE.

Imagine. Recording Beethoven's 4th, 5th and 6th on one continuous taping. Or recording two hours of The Beatles from the radio without even being in the same room.

Or catching yourself in duet with Brubeck and not having to stop to flip the tape.

Well, if your cassette deck is a Toshiba PT-490 with the automatic reverse feature, it's easy.

Just set the MODE dial and the machine knows exactly what you want it to do. Whether you want it to record one side of the tape and then stop. Or play and turn itself off. Or record both sides of the tape for two uninterrupted hours. Or play back the same tape indefinitely. The machine does it all for you. And it does it automatically.

In addition to reversing its own tape, the PT-490 also gives you outstanding performance and sound. That's because it comes with Dolby noise reduction. Mechanical auto shut-off. Separate record and playback volume controls.

Two large, illuminated VU-meters. And a bias selector switch for normal, hi-fi, and CrO2 tape.

And it's one more example of the fine craftsmanship that goes into all Toshiba products.

Like our SR-80. The world's first stereo record player with an electret condenser cartridge. It reduces distortion so greatly, it may be the best 4-channel record player you can buy.

Or our SA-504. A receiver with broad 4-channel capabilities. Including RM and SQ matrixing, and discrete.

And with Toshiba's BTL circuit, you can convert all 4 amplifiers to 2-channels when that's all you're using.

Or our SA-500. A 2-channel receiver whose integrated circuits are so superior, a lot of our competitors buy them from us.

So take a look at some of our products. They're among the most advanced you can find. Like the PT-490. A cassette deck that's so advanced it can even record backwards.
