aThe Dolby NR Systems
The Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce high-frequency
noise (tape hiss} generated during playback. The level of low-
volume, high-frequency sounds is increased during recording,
and decreased by the same amount during playback to restore
the original level. At the same time, high-frequency noise (the
most easily perceived by the human ear) is attenuated as well.
Dolby B-type NR systems reduces high-frequency tape noise,
widening the dynamic range.
Dolby C-type NR is even more powerful, applying the noise
reduction effect to a wider spectrum of frequencies from the
middle range.

high-
frequency signals are recorded on top of each other {recording
bias} in order to compensate for the tape Recording bias depends
on the frequency of the recorded sound, but generally it is fixed
to a value which gives acceptable results over the whole fre-
quency range.
NOTE:
Avoid playingback tapes recorded using the Dolby NR systems with
DOLBY NR switch in the OFF position, or tapes recorded without
Dolby NR systems with DOLBY NR switch in the ON position (8
or C}, since this does not allow faithful reproduction of the original
sound.
