For your information
The NT format is the digital audio tape format which employs stamp-size
cassette tapes and is intended as one of the next generation tape recorders.
The major benefits of this NT format are:
•
Pocketable size
•
Digital Hi-Fi stereo sound
•
Long battery life with one LR6 (size AA) battery
•
Easy operation
Stamp-size cassette tapes
The size of the NT cassette made possible a tape recorder small enough to
keep in your pocket. Storing cassette tapes is no longer a problem either.
Furthermore, you can obtain digital quality recording and playback of up to 2
hours with NTC-120 cassette.
Preparing an NT cassette tape
You can record on and play both sides of the NT cassette tape. The supplied
NT cassette tape (NTC-60) offers you 60 minutes of recording and playing (30
minutes on each side).
