The Onkyo TA-2400 is a stereo cassette deck introduced in 1990 and discontinued after one year. It features a belt-driven single-capstan transport, leveraging a dual-head configuration and utilizing Dolby B/C and HX-Pro noise reduction systems for enhanced audio quality. The deck is equipped with a digital linear tape counter that displays four digits, along with automatic tape type selection that accommodates normal, chrome, and metal tapes. The front-loading design of the cassette compartment is located on the left side, allowing for easy access and operation of the tape eject mechanism. Level monitoring is facilitated by generic digital peak reading meters, which include peak hold functionality for optimal recording level adjustments. Full-logic transport controls enhance user experience, responding to minimal touch for smooth operation. The Dolby C noise reduction system implemented in the TA-2400 delivers up to 20 dB of additional noise reduction, significantly improving sound clarity, while the HX Pro system controls bias for accurate high-frequency recording. A switchable MPX filter is included to eliminate potential interference from FM stereo broadcasts. Users can enjoy private listening via a headphone jack, and the cassette deck supports standard RCA connections for playback and recording purposes, with remote control capabilities for added convenience.
