Pitch control during playback
On TAPE I, users can control the pitch of the music up to +/- 10 %.
* TAPE II does not carry this functinon.
Mic Mixing for Karaoke recording
The W-890RmkII also employs a mic mixing function that allows users to mix recordings such as Karaoke backing tracks from an external audio device with your singing.
* You cannot mix the mic input with a track which is being played back from TAPE I or TAPE II while simultaneously recording it on another deck.
Synchro-reverse Dubbing
When you duplicate both sides of a tape, the Synchro-reverse dubbing automatically changes direction of the Playback/Recording of the both decks at the same time.
