type NR systern is used, playback is not performed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduction system is used for both recording and
playback.
Dolby B NR
The most popular noise reduction system used in home audio components. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.

Notes:
1. The recording balance and recording level cannot be adjusted for
dubbing.
2. The DOLBY NR switch does not function during dubbing.
* The tape recorded by dubbing features the same NR system
as the original tape in Deck A.
3. Noise from TV may interfere with dubbed sound if high-speed dub-
bing is executed near a TV set. To prevent this, instail the system
farther from the TV set
4. If the original tape was recorded at a high level, the sound quality
may be degraded ,if high-speed dubbing is used. In such a case,
use normal-speed dubbing.
