Description :
Nakamichi is a historic Japanese high end audio company most famous for its innovative and very high quality cassette decks. It was the first to use a three-head recording technique in a cassette deck. Separate tape heads were used for playback, recording, and erase, whereas prior methods combined the playback/recording function into a single tape head. The Nakamichi Dragon tape deck is a direct drive, auto-reverse cassette incorporating the epoch-making "NAAC" system for automatic azimuth correction of the playback heard. It used a special microprocessor controlled azimuth adjustment to implement auto-reverse, and thus didn't need to eject the tape like the RX series.
