3-Head JVC Design:

This provides the ability to monitor the signal directly from the tape during recording and makes the TD-V66 a particularly interesting deck for serious cassette enthusiasts.
The deck also features JVC's SA-HEAD technology and a sophisticated 2-motor full-logic transport mechanism.
