About the Denon DRW-585

Denon's dual-well DRW-585 has everything you need to make great-sounding recordings of your favorite CDs, LPs, and radio broadcasts. And of course, you get great high-speed tape-to-tape dubbing, too. Dolby B and C noise reduction combat tape hiss, while Dolby HX Pro lets you make "hotter" recordings without distortion. There's also a manual bias adjustment control that lets you fine-tune your recordings for optimal sound.
Auto-reverse play on both decks lets you cue up as much as 3 hours worth of music for hassle-free, uninterrupted playback. Backlighting in both wells makes it easier to monitor how much tape you've got remaining in cassettes on either side, and also provides a cool, high-end look.
