Cassette Tape

ATape Selection

Metal and chrome (cobalt) tapes have identification holes.

<You can use normal(Type!) or CrO2(Type@) tape.

BTape Handling

Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take up any slack tape.

<Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.

Do not store tapes in the following places:

<On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other places with high temperatures.

<Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would be exposed to strong magnetic fields.

<Where humidity is high and in dirty, dusty places.

<Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.

<As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become entangled in the transport mechanism, do not use them.

Basic description of Dolby NR

During low-level program material, Dolby NR acts to boost high-frequency signals. During playback, these signals are restored to their original level. Any noise introduced in between these processes (during recording) will be reduced in playback. Dolby NR also employs the principle of least treatment, leaving high- level signals unprocessed since the louder program material serves to effectively mask any tape hiss.

Bandes

AChoix de bande

Pour que le choix automatique de bande fonctionne correctement, les bandes métals ou chromes (cobalt) doivent posséder des trous d’identification.

<Cet appareil permet d' utiliser des cassettes Normales (type!) ou CrO2 (type@).

BManipulation des bandes

Utiliser un doigt ou un crayon pour tourner le moyeu de la cassette et rattraper le jeu de la bande.

<Eviter de toucher la bande. Les empreintes digitales attirent la poussière et les saletés.

Ne pas entreposer des bandes dans les endroits suivants:

<Sur des radiateurs, au soleil ou dans un endroit où la température est élevée.

<Près de haut-parleurs, sur des téléviseurs ou amplificateurs ou encore près de champs magnétiques puissants.

<Dans des endroits où l'humidité est élevée ou poussiéreux et sales.

<Eviter d’échapper ou soumettre les cassettes à des chocs excessifs.

<Comme les bandes des cassettes C120 sont physiquement faibles et peuvent facilement se coincer dans le mécanisme de transport, ne pas les utiliser.

Principe de fonctionnement du Dolby NR

Le dispositif de réduction de bruit Dolby NR fonctionne en renforçant les signaux de fréquence élevée lorsque le programme est à un niveau faible. A la lecture, ces signaux sont ramenés à leur niveau d’origine. Tout bruit introduit entre ces deux processus, c’est-à-dire pendant l’enregistrement, sera réduit à la lecture. Le dispositif Dolby NR obéit également au principe de traitement minimum, c’est à dire en ne traitant pas les signaux de niveau élevé puisqu’un niveau sonore plus élevé a pour effet de masquer suffisamment tout sifflement sur la bande.
