Pioneer has transformed the cassette deck into a component that gives you a new dimension of con-trol over it and the quality of the sound it records and plays. WeVe done it through a concept we cali High Fidelity for Humans.

¹ Electronic and mechanical

engineering innovations make Pioneer’s new CT-9R a pleasure to listen to.

To start with, Pioneers engineers have developed a new' materiał for the record and play heads on the ¹ CT-9R Cassette Deck. Itscalled RIBBON SENDUST and its madę with laminations 4 to 5 limes thinner than conventional Sendust heads.This virtually eliminates eddy currents that interfere with high frequency response. It aLso provides a significant improvement in signal-tonoise ratio with extended high frequency response; plus a 3- to 5-dB increase in undlstorted headroom at high frequencies. With metal tape the frequency response is an extra-wide 20 ^u Hertz to 22k Hertz. The CT-9R^łs tape transport system is an incredibly precise dual capstan system with three direct drive motors.The result Lsan infinitesimal wow and flutterof 0.03%.

Morę importantly these features allowed our engineers to equipour CT-9R Cassette Deck with a super intelligence: a microprocessor that automati-cally adjusts bias, level and equalization to maximize tne performance of the tape you re using. And this same microprocessor technology makes it possible for the Pioneer CT-9R to offer you an exclusive combination of human engineering features.

Humań engineering makes Pioneers CT-9R a pleasure to live with.

Anyone who records on tape knows how frus-trating it is to run out of tape before runningout of musie. That s why the CT-9R has a Real Time Counter with a digital display to show you how much recording time is left on your tape. Press a button and the same display turns into a Digital Tape Counter. Theres also a Blank Search feature that speeds _A through a partly recorded tape to find the unrecorded section and even leaves a five-second margin between the last song and what you intend to record. To find your favorite song. on a recorded tape. touch Index Scan and the CT-9R will play the first five sec-onds of each piece of musie on the tape. To repeat a „ song, simply press Musie Repeat and listen.The Pioneer CT-9R will even play both sides of a cassette automatieally. And the Musie Search control auto-matically plays the beginningof the next song on the tape. Theres evcn an optional remote control.

Now if you think all this sounds too good to be true. visit your nearby Pioneer dealer. You can sec ^f and hear the CT-9R for yourself, as well as an entire linę of new Pioneer cassette deeks. And then if youre wondering why wc don t give you less features for the money like others seem ^ _Nto do, it s beeause we PIONEER
