During recording, the system functions to increase ihe ievei of ihe 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 NA-type, and Dolby HX PRO headroom extension system. ‘Dolby B-type noise-reduction system 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-tvne nolse-reduction svstem Noise is reduced to about one-tenth. Use this system for the recording and playback oí sound sources that have a wide dynamic range and good tone quality, such as FM broadcasts of live performances, elc., and for playing back such tapes. 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 paralle! with this units noise- reduction system, recording and playback with a greatly extended dynamic range is possible. E dbx noise-reductlon system With this noise-reduction system, "hiss” noise is reduced ta about 10. This system is particularly suitable for the recording and playback of live FM broadcasts and other sound sources with high tone quality and a wide dynamic range. i eDolby noise reduction and HX Pro headroom extension manufactured under license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing Corporation.

In addition, the recording and playback levels ditter when recording is done using a noise reduction system so that the sound quality is sometimes impaired, To deal with these problems, this unit comes with a calibration function which takes the form of bias adjustment and is based on a test oscillator. The tape's performance can therefore be given full rein by setting the optimum bias value and compensating for the sensitivity in accordance with the recording characteristics of the tape while observing the input leve! display.

Because the pilot signals, etc. included with FM stereo broadcast signals are subjected to Dolby noise-reduction processing in the same way as the music signals when an FM stereo broadcast is being recorded, there is apt to be deterioration of the tone quality. and the noise-reduction effect is reduced. This unit, however, is provided with an MPX filter that filters out the 19 kHz frequency, which is the frequency of the pilot signal. Note that there is virtually no audible effect upon the tone quality as a result of the use of the MPX filter. This switch can be used during the recording of an FM stereo broadcast that employs Dolby noise reduction so as to rr $ almas Aaa As Tale. alos varia о pr Cr Y CN HITE EY CALI ME LIS Y ERE EN a This switch, however, should be switched OFF when a sound source other than the FM broadcast is being recorded, such as for example, a sound source that has a wide frequency range, such as a compact disc, etc. *Pilot signal The pilot signal is a signal that is used to separate FM broadcast signals in stereo {left and right channels); this signal is generated on a frequency that is very close to the 19 kHz music band. Recording with High Tone Quality inv Monitor Switch This unit is of 3-head type, and the record head is independent of the piayback head. Aisp. the sound before recording can be compared with the recorded sound by use of the monitor switch, therefore the state of recording can be easily checked. WOE TRE la Te um AA The recording-equalizer amplifier is an amplifier for supplying (tc the head) the current necessary for recording. Usuaily, ioads such as the recording head and bias trap circuilry {circuitry for control of the bias current) would be applied to the output of this amplifier, with the result that complex changes of the current phase occur, causing distortion of the recording signal. The recording-equalizer amplifier used in this unit, however. is 8 linear magne-field class AA amplifier that is à combination of class A voltage-control amplifier circuitry and current-drive amplifier circuitry. {See the figure below.) As a result, a current flow that is equivalent to the current flowing in the pure resistance of the current-drive amplifier can be supplied to the recording head. Consequently, a mannetic field that corresponds to the input signals is produced at the head and is recorded on the tape, which means tha! recorded sounds are faithful to the original sound source, without fluctuations of the current phase.
