Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Advent Model
lOOA oise Reduction Unit. If you have not alre
d done
so, please take a moment now to
611
in and mail ur
warrantyregistrationcard. OPOSTAGE I RE UIRED.
The Model lOOA has been designed
to
take ad an-
tage of the ever-increasing use of the famous "B-Typ " ·
Dolby System of audio noise reduction. The wide- pread
use of the Dolby y
tern
with home tape recorder , the
increasing catalog of Dolby-processed prerecord d
cassettes, and the late t application of the Dolby y
tern
to FM broadcasting have all contributed to Advent'
incorporating into the Model l OOA a degree of flexibility
found in no other noise reduction unit or recorder with
built-in Dolby circuitry.
For clarity's sake, these In tructions ar divided into
two sections. The first of these, ORMAL Mode of th
lOOA, explains how to use the Model lOOA for making
and playing Dolby-proce ssed tapes on the recorder
connected to it. For these purpose , the Model 100 '
MODE switch must be in the ORMAL po ition.
The second section, P IAL Mode of the od 1
lOOA, tells how to use the Mode l lOOA for uch purpo
as decoding Dolby-processed FM broadca , making
copies of Dolby-processed tape , and playing Do lb -
processed tapes on another recorder connected to
th
audio system. For these functions, the
Model 1 '
MOD switch mu t be in the PE IAL po ition.
The in tructions for the
0
fode hould
completed before attempting
to
follow the instru tion
for the PECIAL Mode.
