Your cassette player uses the Dolby B Noise-Reduc-

tion system to reduce background noise or tape hiss

on your tapes. When a Dolby-encoded tape is re-

corded, the Dolby circuit listens to the program mate-

rial to find soft passages where you might later be

able to hear the tape noise. The Dolby NR system in-

creases the recording level during these passages.

When you play the tape, the circuit reduces the vol-

ume of these passages to their original levels and re-

duces the level of tape hiss to as little as one-third of

the usual noise level.
