DOLBY NR button setting (in step 2)

Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit incorporates both Dolby B NR and the newer Dolby C NR system. Dolby C NR is approximately twice as effective as the earlier Dolby B NR.

Each time this button is pressed, Dolby NR switches as follows:

3B (MPX off) Recording with DOLBY B NR Only the B indicator lights.

3

C (MPX off) Recording with DOLBY C NR Only the C indicator lights.

MPX filter

FM stations transmit a 19 kHz pilot signal in addition to the broadcast program. Sometimes this pilot signal may leak into the audio output depending on the tuner and broadcast conditions. This signal can cause improper operation of the Dolby NR systems. Activating the MPX filter (B TYPE/C TYPE MPX ON settings) will effectively remove the signal.
