About

the

Dolby

noise-reduction

recording/playback

system

_

The

Dolby

noise-reduction

system

is

a

system

designed

to

effec¬

tively

reduce

the

annoying

high-frequency

"hissing"

noise

typical¬

ly

heard

from

tapes

if

this

system

is

not

used.

During

recording,

the

system

functions

to

increase

the

level

of

the

high-frequency

part

of

the

sound,

and

then,

during

playback,

that

same

portion

is

weakened

and

returned

to

the

previous

level.

This

unit

includes

two

types

of

Dolby

noise-reduction

systems,

the

Dolby

B

NR-type

and

C

NR-type.

Dolby

B-type

noise-reduction

Noise

is

reduced

to

about

one-third.

Use

this

system

when

playing

back

tapes

recorded

by

the

Dolby-

B

noise-reduction

system,

such

as

prerecorded

music

tapes,

etc.

Dolby

C-type

noise-reduction

Noise

is

reduced

to

about

one-tenth.

Use

this

system

for

the

recording

and

playback

of

sound

sources

that

have

a

wide

dynamic

range

and

good

tone

quality,

such

as

FM

broadcasts

of

live

performances,

etc.,

and

for

playing

back

such

tapes.

About

the

Dolby

HX-Pro

headroom

extension

system

_

By

functioning

to

improve

the

maximum

output

level

of

the

tape’s

high-frequency

range,

this

system

permits

recordings

without

a

drop

of

the

level

of

the

sound

source’s

high-frequency

range.

In

addition,

by

using

the

system

in

parallel

with

this

unit's

noise-

reduction

system,

recording

and

playback

with

a

greatly

extend¬

ed

dynamic

range

is

possible.
