Typical front loading cassette deck with the cassette compartiment located on the left side of the deck. Tape eject is operated mechanically and the cassette needs to be placed with the side to be played facing forward in the cassette well.
Level meters used on the BX-2 are digital LED peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the BX-2 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
Dolby C-type used in the BX-2 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by B-type. The 19kHz multiplex pilot slgnal present in FM stereo broadcasts can cause false triggering of the noise reduction system. The switchable MPX filter of the BX-2 filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
