Recording
with

Pro
When
recording
is
strated
with
this
unit,
the

Pro

extension
function
automatically
operates
to
provide
a
recording
with
superior
high-frequency

What
is
Dolby
HX
Pro
in
ordinary
recording
using
high-frequency
biasing,
the
high-frequency
bias
current,
which
should
be
constant,
is
increased
with
some
record-
ing
sources
due
to
the
high-frequency
component
contained
in
the
music,
etc.
This
increase
affects
the
recerding
characteristics
with
distorted
high
frequencies
and
degraded
dynamic
range
and
frequency
response.
The
Dolby
HX
Pro
circuit
detects
the
high-frequency
component
con-
tained
in
the
music
source
being
recorded,
and
reduces
excessive
bias
current
to
make
it
constant.
As
a
result,
the
recording
charac-
teristics
of
high
frequencies
are
drastically
improved,
and
the
improved

reproduction
can
also
