TROUBLESHOOTING
Basic
troubleshooting
of
a
cassette
tape
deck
is
similar
to
troubleshooting
any
other
electrical
or
electronic
equipment.
Always
check
the
most
obvious
possible
causes
first.
To
give
you
a
few
ideas
of
what
to
look
for,
check
the
following:
e
No
power:
Is.the
power
cord
connected?
©
No
audio
output:
Have
all
connections
been
made
correctly?
e
Low
sound
quality:
Are
the
heads
dirty
or
magnetized?
Are you
using
good
quality
tape?
Has
the
correct
NR
System
been
selected?
e
Impossible
to
enter
the
record
mode:
Are
the
record
protection
tabs
of
the
cassette
in
place?
DOLBY
HX
PRO
SS
a
Dolby
HX
Pro
is
an
"active
bias"
technique
that
can
improve
the
quality
of
audio
tape
recordings.
High-
level
high
frequencies
can
be
recorded
more
accurately,
without
sacrificing
the
signal-to-noise
ratio,
while
such
side
effects
of
tape
saturation
as
distortion
are
reduced.
What
Is
Bias?
Bias
is
a
very
high-frequency
signal
generated
within
a
tape
deck
and
recorded
on
the
tape
simultaneously
with
the
program
material.
This
inaudible
signal
allows
low
noise,
low
distortion
recording
and
a
flat
frequency
response.
Different
magnetic
tape
formulations
require
differeent
amounts
of
bias
for
optimum
performance.
If
the
bias
level
is
too
high,
the
high-frequency
Maximum
Output
Level
(MOL)
decreases.
The
Problem
of
Self-Bias
Unfortunately,
the
bias
level
is
often
influenced
by
the
signal
being
recorded.
The
high
frequency
components
of
some
music
act
as
bias.
This
unpredictable
source
of
bias
is
added
to
the
existing
bias,
resulting
in
a
loss
of
high-frequency
response.
As
the
high-frequency
contents
of
the
signal
increase,
the
ability
of
the
recorder
to
record
high
frequencies
(MOL)
decreases.
This
phenomenon
is
called
self-biasing.
The
Dolby
HX
Pro
Solution
Dolby
HX
Pro
monitors
the
high-frequency
contents
of
the
program
and
adjusts
the
recorder's
bias
oscillator
to
maintain
a
constant
total
bias
level.
The
result
is
improved
high-frequency
response
and
lower
distortion.
Depending
on
the
type
of
tape,
the
improvement
in
headroom
(dynamic
range)
can
be
6
dB
or
more.
The
Benefits
With
Dolby
HX
Pro,
it
is
easier
to
make
more
accurate
recordings
of
music
which
contains
high-
level
high
frequency
components.
The
improvement
is
similar
to
that
of
high-performance
tape
over
conventional
tape,
and
regardless
of
the
type
of
tape
used,
the
results
will
sound
better.
Most
important
of
all,
Dolby
HX
Pro
requires
no
decoding
process.
Once
a
tape
is
recorded
with
it,
the
improvement
will
be
realized
when
playing
the
tape
back
on
any
machine.
