The Dolby HX Pro circuit detects the high-frequency component contained in the music source being recorded, and reduces excessive bias current to make it constant. As a result, the recording characteristics of high frequencies are drastically improved, and the improved high-frequency reproduction can also be enjoyed even when the tape is played on tape decks which are not equipped with circuit. Auto-bias function ^ The auto-bias function automatically adjusts the tape's bias value to ensure optimum recording performance with each and every tape.
