Philips DCC 170 - Digital Compact Cassette

The Philips DCC machines are Digital versions of Compact Cassette. IE they can record digitally onto a special DCC tape whilst also maintaining backward compatibility with the popular Compact Cassette standard. By this I mean it would play back standard analogue cassettes but would not record onto them.
 
It was developed by Philips and Matsushita and introduced in late 1992.
 
It was a competitor to MiniDisc (MD) and Digital Audio Tape (DAT), but never became popular with the general public and therfore was consigned to the tech bin forever more.
 
We have a Philips DCC170 which is a portable device. The specifications are as follows :
 
  • Studio Recording Quality from digital or analogue sources
  • Unified input jack for coaxial/optical digital, microphone and line sources
  • Plays analog cassettes with Dolby B
  • DCC text display with scroll
  • Track selection by title
  • Remote control in headphone cord
  • Dynamic Bass Boost
  • Optical digital output for connection to HiFi system
  • Rechargeable NiCd battery pack
  • Also supplied with AC/DC adapter, coaxial digital cable, HiFi cable and carrying case

  • DCC to CD Conversion
    Pure Energy has a specialist AV department that can offer DCC to CD conversion and supply the converted files to either WAV, MP3 or CD Audio formats.
