I bet that sounds *awful*

I'm amazed that it appears to support SD cards as well!

I think it means digital data store for the 15 memory pre sets.

"the finest audio of its class"...

Who knew that traveling 3 minutes could take you back 40 years?

Data storage….I will read the included manual. Full PCB schematic on the last page

I just love that it *looks* like an SD card!

Music search which I think means it scans for the gap in tape tracks

Just hope the belts in the tape deck have not perished but as long as the radio works illl be happy

I have a Pioneer unit that looks very similar, kept from my 1979 Opel Ascona SR have no idea why but it always gets put in the keep pile when I sort through the junk in boxes in my garage. I will dig it out this weekend for comparison

Phase locked loop quartz crystal oscillator...phwoar...

I bet it can tune into Radio 1FM and hear distant radio echoes of Level 42 and Spandau Ballet...
