I
Dolby
NR
System
This
deck incorporates
both the
Dolby
B-Type
and the
Dolby C-Type noise
reduction
systems, which
can be freely
selected. The
Dolby B-Type
NR
provides
approximately
1O dB
of noise reduction
in
the
high frequencies.
The
Dolby C-Type
NR
achieves
a S/N
ratio
improvement
of
appr.2O
dB
in
the range
from
2
kHz
to
8
kHz,
where noise is most
readily
audible.
For
playback
of a tape which
was
recorded
with Dolby
B-Type NR,
the Dolby
NR
"B"
switch has
to be
pressed.
For
playback
of a tape recorded
with
Dolby
C-Type
NR, the
"C"
switch must
be
presseo.
.
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
oossible.
