M@
RECORDING
LEVEL
ADJUSTMENT
The
most
important
factor
for
good
recording
results
is
the
recording
level
adjustment.
If
the
recording
level
is
set
at
maximum,
the
signal-to-
noise
ratio
(S/N)
and
the
dynamic
range(range
of
sound
volume)
will
improve,
but
if
it
is
set
too
high,
the
sound
quality
will
deteriorate.
On
the
contrary
when
the
recording
level
is
set
too
low
in
order
to
avoid
distortion,
tape
hiss
noise
becomes
too
evident.
Even
among
tapes
of
the
same
type,
the
tape
characteristics
may
differ
according
to
maker
and
kind.
It
is
therefore
important
to
determine
the
optimum
recording
level
for
each
tape
used,
in
order
to
obtain
good
recordings
by.
fully
utilizing
the
tape
characteristics.
The
optimum
recording
level
depends
on
the
type
of
music
to
be
recorded
and
also
on
the
type
of
tape
used.
To
obtain
better
recordings
that
make
the
most
of
the
tape
characteristics,
judge
the
playback
sound
quality
by
actually
listening
to
your
recording.
Generally,
adjust
the
recording
level
so
that
the
level
meters
indicate
around
the
0
dB
point
for
normal
or
chrome
tapes
or

DOLBY
HX
PROFESSIONAL
HEAD
ROOM
EXTENSION
(DOLBY
HX
PRO)
1.
Dolby
HX
PRO
is
professional
recording
bias
system
which
are
now
available
in
some
of
home
cassette
recorders
improving
dynamic
range
and
signal
clarity
for
life-like
sound
quality.
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,
resulting
in
a
corresponding
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
a
stable,
effective
bias
to
the
audio
signals
being
recorded.
When
an
audio
signal
contains
a
large
number
of
high-frequency
components,
the
bias
is
held
to
a
low
value
and
deterioration
of
high
frequencies
is
avoided,
where
as
for
low
frequencies,
the
bias
is
added
at
a
fixed
rate.
Bias
is
thus
added
at
the
optimum
rate
for
both
high
and
low
frequencies.
2.
The
unit
incorporates
the
Dolby
HX
Pro
system
which
automatically
adjusts
itself
not
only
for
normal,
CrO>,
and
metal
position
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.

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
automatically
reduces
the
output
level
to
the
normal
level
during
playback
(decoding).
In
this
way,
the
tape
hiss
noise
is
remarkably
reduced
without
affecting
the
sound
quality.
The
Dolby
NR
system
used
in
your
cassette
deck
improves
S/N
ratio
by
about
5
dB
at
1
KHz
and
about
10
dB
at
10
KHz
in
B-type
and
by
about
20
dB
on
the
most
frequency
range
in
C-type.
Furthermore
C-type
has
the
anti-saturation
network
which
reduces
the
affects
of
high
frequency
saturation,
improving
high
range
frequency
response.

becoming
entangled
around
the
capstan.
ENGLISH
After
the
recording
has
been

Do
not
store
the
tapes
in
direct
sunlight
or
near
equipment
that
generates
heat.
Keep
the
tapes
away
from
any
magnetic
fields.
Do
not
touch
the

surface
and
store
the

CLEANING
THE

SECTION
Clean
the
head
section
about
every
10
hours
of
use
using
the
commercially
available
head

tape.
¢
For
better
recordings,
you
should
clean
the
head
section
before
every
recording.
*
After
cleaning
the
head
section,
do
not
load
a
tape
until
the
cleared
section
is
completely
dry.
M
DEMAGNETIZING
THE
HEAD
Demagnetize
the
recording/playback
head
about
every
10
hours
of
use
using
a
commercially
avaiable
demagnetizer
so
that
the
magnetized
head
may
not
cause
the
sound
to
be
deteriorated.
