  • Abstract
    The introduction of a small portable digital compact cassette (DCC) player has been made possible by the development of a new 18-channel head and associated new read electronics. Special attention needs to be paid to the equalization of the signals, as this depends on the tape direction during recording and playback, as well as the degree of asymmetry of the head design. The configuration of head and ICs described is applied in headphone stereo and car players
