The player is intended for reproduction of mono and stereophonic phonograms recorded on magnetic tape in MK-60 cassettes. Playback of phonograms is made on stereo phones. Rewinding of the tape is carried out only in the direction of movement. The time of operation of the player from a set of fresh batteries 2 pcs. AA is not less than 6 hours. The speed of the tape is 4.76 cm/sec. The coefficient of detonation is 0.5%. The range of sound frequencies at the input of stereo telephones is 63…12500 Hz. The coefficient of harmonics is 2.5%. Nominal output power 2×5 mW. Current consumption is not more than 120 mA. The dimensions of the player are 154x90x38. Weight without batteries is 300 grams.
