ALTERNATE CONTINUOUS
RECORDING BETWEEN
DECK A AND DECK B WITH AUTOMATIC SELECTION
MICROPHONE MIXING DURING RECORDING
Dolby HX PRO headroom extension
When a source which contains many high
-
frequency
compo
-
nents
is recorded
,
these high
-
frequency signals have the
same
function
as bias and
therefore , the effective
bias
current
changes
.
This will result in phenomena such as changes in the level of
low
-
frequency signal
and subsequent distortion and
reduction
of the high
-
frequency saturation level
.
Dolby HX PRO headroom extension system
controls the bias
current
so that the effective bias is constant even when there
are
fluctuations
in
the high
-
frequency components of
the input
signal
.
This greatly improves the high
-
frequency saturation
level while
reducing the low
-
frequency signal
level variations and distor
-
tion
.
•
The dynamic sound
recorded with this
system
sounds the
same
even
when the
tape
is played back in a deck that does
not have Dolby HX PRO
.
•
This
system
automatically
works when in recording ; how
-
ever
,
Dolby HX PRO
is not a noise reduction
system
.
AUTOMATIC RECORD MUTING
By connecting
a microphone
,
microphone mixing during
recording
Is possible by following the recording procedure
.
Adjust
the
microphone input
level by setting the record
-
pause
mode and observing the peak
level
indicators
.
•
When the record
-
pause mode is set and the INPUT LEVEL
control
is set to
MIN
, sounds are output only from the micro

phone
,
and it can be used as a public address
system
.
This
facility is used to eliminate undesired sections and leave

LINEAR TAPE COUNTER OPERATION
When the power is connected
,
"
0.00 "
appears in the display
.
During tape playback
,
the digital counter
operates as a 4
-
digit
linear tape counter
which displays
the approximate playback
time in minutes and seconds for C
-
46 L , C
-
60 , and C
-
90 tapes
.
There is a one
-
minute error differential between the
actual play
-
back time and the playback time displayed
.
With C
-
30 , C
-
46
,
C
-
80 , and other tapes ,
this differential is even greater
.
A differ
-
ent time
may also appear
for tapes
of the same length but with
a
different thickness
.
•
When the recording
level is too low
,
the hiss noise
Inherent
in the tape will be conspicuous
.
•
When the recording
level is too high ,
exceeding
the satura
-
tion level
,
the recording will
contain cracking
noise and will
be distorted
.
•
If "
+
4 "
lights too
often because the
recording
level is too
high , the
recorded
sound may be
distorted and
seem to be
breaking up
.
If only " O " lights infrequently , the level is too
low
and the recording may contain
tape hiss
.
It is best to adjust so that the maximum sound level of the
source to be
recorded
reaches the very
limit
of the saturation
level of the tape to be used
.
The
best
level
varies depending on the type
of music and type
of tape so it Is better to make a test
recording
,
using FM music ,
records , etc
.
DOLBY NR and DOLBY HX PRO
Dolby NR System
To reduce
the hiss inherent in tape recording , use the Dolby NR
System
when making recordings
.
When listening to a tape
recorded
with
the Dolby NR System , set the DOLBY NR switch
to B
or
C according to the
system
selected in the recording
mode
.
Note :
The sound quality will change if the positions of the DOLBY NR
switch are different in recording
and playback
.
