DOLBY B AND C NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM

The Dolby noise reduction system substantially reduces the tape background noise (hiss) inherent in the cassette medium.

Tape background noise consists primarily of high frequency information, which is particularly annoying during soft passages, The Dolby NR system increases the level of low volume mid and high frequency signals during recording and reduces the level of these signals by an identical amount during playback, As a result, the playback signal is identical to the original source, but the level of background noise generated by the tape is greatly reduced.

The operating principle of Dolby C NR is similar to that of Dolby B NR except for the encoding/decoding response curves. The noise reduction effect obtained with Dolby C NR is up to 20 dB, compared to 10 dB with Dolby B NR. In addition, Dolby C NR uses an anti-saturation network and spectral skewing circuitry for a significant improvement in the dynamic range of the mid-to high- frequencies.

DOLBY HX PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION SYSTEM

This deck is equipped with the Dolby HX PRO headroom extension system. Since the system functions automatically during recording, no switching operation or adjustment is required. The system is effective with any type of Normal, High and Metal tape.

The Dolby HX PRO headroom extension system functions during recording to raise the saturation level in the high frequency range. Therefore, most of the high frequency range distorted or lost during recording on conventional cassette decks are more faithfully recorded on the new MARANTZ cassette deck.

Features of the Dolby HX PRO Headroom Extension System

(1)Performance of Normal and High Position tapes can be improved to very close of that offered by Metal tape.

(2)The dynamics in the high frequency range are improved significantly.

(3)Since no decoding is necessary during playback, the improved sound can be enjoyed on any type of tape deck, including portable players and car audio systems.

(4)The system functions whether the Dolby B/C NR system is engaged or not.
