Far cry from the predesessor Aiwa which was the XK-009 and was only $1200. When this deck was new it was going for $1600 Canadian. This is a 3 head 4 motor deck and yes it uses belts to drive everything. The clamoing feature in the cassette housing crushes the tape a little to absorb resonances and keep the shell from moving. You pop in a tape and if it senses it, the door will close by itself. This deck uses a motor to open and close the cassette door. I don't use this feature since D/A converters have improved since then and any CD player today will have something better. It has a D/A converter which is 18 bit if you feel like recording directly from a CD player and having the Aiwa do the conversion. Anyway I have been using the Aiwa for some months now and can comment on its sound. The 909 was designed similar to the Aiwa decks and built in the same factory I was told. Anyway I already had a Sony 909ES deck of which to compare to. I have had this deck for a few years since I bought it used, but didn't get it operational till recently.
