Dolby

NR

This

unit

includes

Dolby

Noise

Reduction

which

reduces

tape

noise

to

a

remarkable

degree.

Briefly,

the

system

works

as

follows:

At

low

sound

levels

(where

tape

noise

is

most

noticeable),

the

high

frequency

(treble)

portion

of

the

sound

is

recorded

at

a

higher

level.

During

playback,

the

same

high

frequency

portion

of

the

sound

is

played

back

at

a

lower

level.

Since

tape

noise

is

introduced

during

recording

and

consists

mainly

of

high

fre-

quencies,

the

tape

noise

is

also

reduced

during

playback.

In

effect,

the

sound

is

boosted

during

recording,

then

the

sound

along

with

the

tape

noise

is

reduced

during

playback.

The

.

result

is

unaltered

sound

with

reduced

tape

noise.
