Glossary

ATS

Automatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current according to the type of tape inserted in the deck.

Automatic calibration

The automatic adjustment of the bias current and recording level for the inserted tape.

This adjustment works together with the deck’s ATS (Automatic Tape Selection, see above) to get the best possible recording results on any tape.

Auto Rec Level function

A function that automatically sets the recording level according to the peak signal level of the program source prior to recording.

When active, this function gradually decreases the recording level when the signal level rises excessively during recording.

Dolby HX Pro

A system that reduces distortion, and increases high- frequency headroom during recording. A tape recorded with this system produces the same high-quality sound even when played on other tape decks.

Dolby NR (noise reduction)

A system that eliminates tape hiss noise by boosting low- level signals in the high-frequency range during recording, then lowering them during playback.

There are four types: A, B, C and S. Type A is for professional use (and is not available on your tape deck), and types B, C and S are for consumer use. Type S has the maximum noise reduction capability, followed by types C and B.

MPX filter

Multiplex filter. A filter for eliminating the 19-kHz stereo carrier and the 38-kHz sub-carrier signals that may impair the Dolby NR system. Usually the tuner has an MPX filter. If you cannot get a satisfying result when recording FM broadcasts with Dolby NR system, your tuner does not have a filter or the filter is not working. In this case, turn the DOLBY NR switch countercolckwise to the position you want — B or C with MPX FILTER.

Multi-AMS

Multi-Automatic Music Sensor is a function that locates the beginning of up to 30 tracks before or after the current track by detecting the blank space (of over 4 seconds) between tracks.

Test tones

Signals (10-kHz and 400-Hz) generated by the tape deck for bias current and recording level calibration.
