Dolby noise reduction
Dolby NR reduces “hissing” when playing tapes. It increases the
high frequency region when recording and then reduces it in
playback. Use the same system during playback and recording.
This unit has Dolby B NR which reduces noise to a third.
Prerecorded cassettes and equipment marked “
%
” use Dolby B
NR.
