Sharp, Oh! JC-N7

TV/FM/AM Tuner Cassette Player with 4-band Equalizer

WOW! I have a graphic equalizer! Oh. It's perfect!

The headphone stereo now comes with a graphic equalizer that lets you create your favorite sound effects according to the song you're listening to and the place you're listening. Computer design and high-density mounting technology for electronic components made it possible to incorporate it into the power set. Quiet places...noisy places...soft songs...hard music...indulge your ears with the perfect sound effects for each.

A wide range of sound sources: TV/FM/AM, all in one unit.

In addition to FM-AM, a TV sound (1~12 CH) tuner is built into the unit. With this one unit, you can conveniently enjoy three sound sources: TV, FM, and AM.

Great sound, endless. Hassle-free auto-reverse.

An auto-reverse type that allows endless playback of sides A and B without having to turn the tape over. No hassle. 2-position reverse mode switch; double-sided playback A-side → B-side → A-side (continuous), A-side B-side → stop prevents battery drain and acts as a sleep timer, and endless playback allows long periods of playback.

Very clear sound. Uses Dolby B NR and tape-type bias.

Just like in any home cassette deck, the Dolby B NR system suppresses tape hiss noise so you can enjoy crystal-clear sound. Playback with Metal/Chrome and Normal bias for accurate sound reproduction.

Now you can dress up your sound the way you like it. A delightful and fashionable design. A new face with a light, thin, and compact design that is stylish.

A few words on the JC-N6

The JC-N6 and its international equivalent, the JC-780, are quite rare players; they are scarce and hard to find. This is primarily because Sharp produced them in extremely small quantities over a six-month period, taking into account that Sharp produced models for an average of three years. Because the JC-N6 was an upgrade to the popular JC-N7, they were never featured in the same catalogs. As a result, the JC-N6 is only found in three Sharp catalogs, the March, July, and October editions of 1986, and is not listed in any other Sharp catalogs (apart from the JC-780). Because the JC-N6 was an upgrade to the JC-N7 with some enhanced features, it was even cheaper than the JC-N7—35,000 yen versus 29,000 yen, which is less than 6000 yen. At the same time, Sharp introduced Mr. Joy Cassette JC-N10 to replace the entire line. Despite having a longer playback time and excellent sound quality, the JC-N6 is not as appealing as the JC-N7. Collectors, on the other hand, regard it as a valuable gem.
