The T-202/DC is a special proprietary version of the Tascam 202MkIII recorder. It is a two speed dual well machine which will produce two simultaneous copies and provides all the necessary control circuits to automatically start and stop the source playback machine. The T-202/DC can also make additional copies from cassette-to-cassette at double speed.

First, an efficient (low power drain) remote control allows the recorders to be started and stopped by computer logic, relay contacts, or a simple switch. In remote control stand-by the MRC/SS draws about 150 µAmps, less power than the self-discharge of most batteries (about ten years) and in operation imposes a burden of less than one percent of normal battery life. A standard Marantz PMD-201 in remote stand-by will drain a fresh set of batteries in less than one day and a PMD-430 has no remote control facility at all.

The second function is a "Silent Stop" at the end of tape. A standard Marantz recorder has a solenoid which makes noise when it disengages the "Play" and "Record" keys at the end of a tape. In the event that the recorder is located near the subject of an investigation this noise could be heard.

Finally, the MRC/SS provides power to the type of electret microphones which are widely used by law enforcement agencies. It is especially useful with model LV-7 microphones when used in motor vehicles, aircraft, or boats.
