AIWA GOOD, SONY BAD! (Revised posting)

Exploring the AIWA TP-716 reel to reel tape recorder. This is a re-post of an earlier video that received a YouTube Content ID warning due to a 20 second monophonic radio recording to prove the machine could faithfully record and play music. I was of the impression that such use was covered by the Fair Use doctrine of the copyright laws (see bottom of this description). However, it appears that YouTube does not support the concept of Fair Use -- their "Help" file discusses their approach -- and thus I got the flag. This new video has that recording section removed to end the Content ID problem. As a result, there is no longer video proof that the machine can faithfully record music. However, I personally bear witness that it can and does faithfully record and play music. *********** About the Title and Incidental Music: The title music to this video (which is played by a computer, not the AIWA tape recorder) comes from the amazing Dream Angel Oracle Divination Software produced by ClydeSight Productions. The music is original and owned by ClydeSight Productions. It is one of over 20 musical selections that play in the background when one is using the program. The Dream Angel Oracle is a new form of divination software, fondly referred to as "Divination for the 21st Century Soul". It helps people talk to their guardian angels and spirit guides though an interactive computer interface.

There actually was a relationship between the two companies! In 1969 (AFTER this machine was built), SONY purchased a majority interest in AIWA, which became an affiliated company of SONY. But AIWA continued to operate in a largely independent fashion, designed and sold products under its brand name, and its stock remained publicly traded. This continued until the end of the 20th Century. (Info Source: FundingUniverse.com) The little vintage reel to reel tape recorder shown here was one of AIWA's entries in the higher end portable tape recorder market-- offering useful functions and a quality amplifier that was only hampered by its little companion speaker. The AIWA TP-716 portable reel to reel tape recorder was a visually attractive tape recorder with a beautiful case design. They opted for a colorful 2-tone tan and brown case, very different from the standard black and silver cases seen on so many SONY machines. They thought "outside the box'" by providing a streamline and angle styled control deck, with brushed and engraved silver accents, reducing the boxy look that characterized many SONY machines. They capped off the look and quality with a beautiful metal cased bullet style dynamic microphone, far different from the box shaped microphones seen in some lower end SONY tape recorders. This influence can be seen in some later SONY models which imitated some of these design characteristics. While SONY continued to dominate the market, the AIWA brand enjoyed relatively steady growth and by the 1980's were producing quality high end audio equipment (most significantly, cassette decks) which carried on the tradition of elegant design with excellent functionality. *************** Copyright Disclaimer: This is an educational video, a critique, and report on an historic piece of vintage audio electronic equipment that is no longer manufactured or sold in stores.
