    Typical front loading cassette deck with the cassette compartment 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 K-1000 are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the K-1000 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
    To ensure the best response from the wide variety of tapes available adjustment of, bias, to optimum levels can be performed prior to recording.
    The Dolby-B system reduces tape hiss on tapes recorded on the K-1000 by as much as 10 dB at the highest frequencies. Dbx Type II found in the K-1000 is a simplified version of the Type I noise reduction system. The dbx Type II system was designed to be used with systems with limited bandwidth such as cassette based recorders and also uses a simple 2:1:2 compander to reduce noise.
    For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. Connection to other audio components for playback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wired remote control.
    WHY CASSETTES ?
    Like Vinyl records, they have a "niche"
    1. A lot of people are still driving cars from the 1990's to the 2010 year that still had factory cassette decks and have no plans on changing.
    2. Properly recorded, cassettes have a softer, more natural sound than CD and much better than MP3 cell phone streaming. This is assuming you have good speakers. Most systems suffer the most in speakers, especially in cars. For instance, even a stock car radio / cassette with a new set of high quality speakers and sub will make cassettes sound really good where you can easily hear their superior quality.
    3. Many people have a library of cassettes and do not wish to buy it all over again on CD.
    4. Many have special educational material on cassettes that is not available or very expensive to repurchase on CD.
    5. Many people wish to record a favorite vinyl record or radio program on cassette to listen later in their car
