• PRINCIPLE OF DOLBY NR SYSTEM
The Dolby NR system functions so that it automatically increases recording levels of medium and high
frequencies when the recording signal level
is lower than the specified level (encoding), and automaticall .
reduces the
output level to the normal level during playback (decoding). In this way, the tape hiss noise i
remarkably reduced without affecting the sound quality. The Dolby NR system used in your Tape Deck
improves
SIN ratio.by about 5 dB at 1KHz and about 10 dB at 10 KHz in B-type and by about 20 dB on
most frequency range in C-type. Furthermore C-type has the anti-saturation network which reduces the
effects
of high frequency saturation, improving high range frequency response.
@ TAPE SIZE SELECTOR
Press this button to select atape size.
Each time this
button is pressed the tape size of C-60 (60 min), C-90 (90 min), or C-120 (120 min) is selected.

DOLBY HX PRO HEADROOM EXTENSIO
1. Dolby HX Pro is aprofessional recording bias system which are now available in some of home cassette
recorders improving dynamic range and signal clarity for life-like sound quality.
16

When recording audio signals which contain high-frequency components, these components influence
the bias and decrease the high recording frequencies. (If the amount of bias is great, high frequencies are
decreased, while on the other hand, if the
amount of bias is small, high frequencies are increased, result-
ing in acorresponding increase in distortion.)
The Dolby
HX Pro system responds to high or low frequencies to regulate the oscillation of the bias level
added
to the recording head, thus providing astable, effective bias to the audio signals being recorded.
When an audio signal contains alarge
number of high-frequency components, the bias is held to alow
value and deterioration
of high frequencies is avoided, where as for low frequencies, the bias is added at
afixed rate. Bias is thus added at the optimum rate for both high and low frequencies.
DD-4030C incorporates the Dolby
HX Pro system which automatically adjusts itself not only for
normal, Cr02, and metal tapes but also for right and left channels independently. Since the system is
automatically engaged during the recording process only, the audiophile can enjoy the full benefits of
any tape without worrying about proper adjustment of switches and encoding/decoding controls.
DOLBY BAND CNOISE REDUCTIO
The hiss noises commonly inherent in tape recordings are effectively controlled by the Dolby Band Creduc-
tion system. Dolby
Band Cnoise reduction can also be used concurrently with the Dolby HX Pro system.

Maintenance
CLEANING OF HEADS AND TAPE PATH
Generally, it
is sufficient to clean heads after every 10 hours of operation. However, all surfaces over which
tape travels should be cleaned before making high quality recordings.
1. Set the POWER switch to OFF and remove cassette door lid by pushing it up and then taking it out
toward the front side after opening the door.
2. Wipe the heads using acleaning tip slightly moistened with acommercially available head cleaner.

4. Replace the door lid.
•Do not insert acassette tape until the cleaner dries out.
DEMAGNETIZING HEADS
Residual magnetism will gradually build up on the heads through continuous use and cause erasure of high
frequencies and hiss. The heads and metallic parts
of the tape path should be demagnetized after 20-30
hours
of operation with acommercially available head demagnetizer. Be sure that the cassette deck is
turned off.
CLEANING CABINET
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with asoft cloth lightly moistened with mild soap solution. Do not
use any type
of scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

Note on Cassette _
TO PROTECT RECORDING FROM ACCIDENTAL ERASURE
Remove the tab as illustrated so that the REC button does not work. To record on acassette after tabs ha\'e
been removed, simply cover the slot with cellophane or vinyl tape.

except the portion marked
CASSETTE CARE
• Most of the tape manufacturers make C-60 (30 min x 2) as their standard. If the length of the tape is long
it can stretch and become soft. We would like to recommend that you use C-60 or C-90 tapes for better
quality sound
and safe tape operation. C-120 cassette tape is so thin and soft that, if the capstan or pinch
roller is even slightly dirty, it often coils around the capstan or pinch roller and results in tape breakage,
so
if you use C-120 tape, perfectly clean capstan and pinch roller.
•Before loading acassette tape, take up
the slack of the tape to prevent it from becoming entangled around
the capstan.
•Avoid touching the tape surface
of acassette. Protect it from dust by storage in acase. Even minor dirt of
dust could cause contamination of the heads resulting in noise and sound drop-out.
•In case you store your cassette tape, stretch your cassette tape
by your pencil or stick, etc.
20

•Keep acassette tape away from magnetic equip-
ment such as speakers, amplifier, etc. not to erase
or distort your recorded tape. Do not expose acas-
sette
to direct sunlight, extreme cold temperature
or moisture.
•Empty your cassette holder
if you do not use the
Deck for along time.
•METAL tape has good characteristics than NOR-
MAL tape. It has wide dynamic range, wide fre-
quency response, and high
MOL (Maximum Out-
put Level).
