DOLBY NR & DOLBY HX PRO
@ Dolby NR Systems
Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the amount of tape hiss,
mainly in the treble components. During recording, the high-
pitched pianissimo sounds which are most characteristic of
audible noise are boosted, and during playback, only these
boosted sections are attenuated, so that tape sound is returned to
normal. As a result, the noise is attenuated by an amount equal to
the boosting in the treble range. The Dolby B-type NR system re-
duces noise in the trebie range, cutting tape hiss and expanding
the dynamic range. The Dolby C-type NR system is even more ef-
fective in reducing noise, as it reduces noise from the mid-range
on.
NOTE:
| When a tape has been recorded using the Dolby 8-type or C-type
NR system, make sure that the DOLBY NR switch is set to the same
Position during playback.
E Dolby HX PRO Headroom Extension System
The DOLBY HX PRO system contrals the bias current during re-
cording and maintains it at the optimat ievel based on the arnount
of the high-frequency components in the music signal. It therefore
provides excellent recording quality even when recording signals
from digital sources, which contain a large amount of high-fre-
quency components. To guarantee optimal results, the HX PRO
system is activated automatically when recording begins. Since
this system controls the quality of recording itself, the clarity of
the sound will be maintained even when the tapes are played back
on another cassette deck which does not contain the HX PRO
Headroom Extension System.
