The logic-controlled transport of this deck permits going from any transport mode into any other (i. e. from play to rewind, from rewind to fast-forward, etc. ) without using the stop switch. This deck incorporates the Dolby NR system (B-Type), which provides approximately 10 dB of noise reduction in the high frequencies. To use this system in recording, set the Dolby NR switch to On. When playing back tapes from your collection which were recorded with the Dolby B-Type NR system, always set this switch to On. This deck possesses a special feature, by which the MPX filter circuit is switched on automatically when the Dolby NR switch is set to On. This prevents the 19-kHz pilot signal from interfering with the proper operation of the Dolby NR system when recording from FM broadcasts. The Dolby NR system does not reduce any noise already contained in the source signal. You should therefore use recording sources which are as noise-free as possible.
