(2) By using the PLAY, FF, or REW functions, the reading of the counter will change to indicate index position. • During recording and playback operations, the counter is useful for noting the location of existing programs or positions where recording is to be started. • The reading of this counter does not correspond with that of any other deck. (3) Deck A and Deck B have the memory of their own counter. Operate COUNTER A/B to change Deck A or B to display its counter. 2) MEMORY STOP Operation (1) During recording or playback, the Memory Stop feature can be used to locate a particular point on the tape. Press the COUNTER MEMO button at the desired point. (2) The MEMO indicator lights. (3) When the Rewind 1 41 ( button is pressed during forward tape travel ( I>), or the Fast Forward ( N ) button is pressed during reverse tape travel () direction (from "0000" to "-0005") and to within +5 counts in the reverse (4) direction (from "0000" to "0005"). After this, several seconds are required for corrective operations. • The Memory Stop function operates independently in both directions for deck A and deck B. The MEMO indicator will switch over with the use of the COUNTER A/B button. Caution: If the memory stop operation is performed after repeated fastforwarding or rewinding, the tape may not stop at the proper position. DOLBY B AND C NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM • The Dolby noise reduction system substantially reduces the tape background noise (hiss) inherent in the cassette medium. Dolby B NR is most widely in use. However Dolby C NR is a much more recent development and represents significant improvements over Dolby B NR. • Tape background noise consists primarily of high frequency information, which is particularly annoying during soft passages. The Dolby NR system increases the level of low volume mid- and high-frequency signals during recording and reduces the level of these signals by an identical amount during playback. As a result, the playback signal is identical to the original source, but the level of background noise generated by the tape is greatly reduced. • The operating principle of Dolby C NR is similar to that of Dolby B NR except for the encoding/decoding response curves. The noise reduction effect obtained with Dolby C NR is up to 20 dB, compared to 10 dB with Dolby B NR. In addition, Dolby C NR uses an anti-saturation network and spectral skewing circuitry for a significant improvement in the dynamic range of the mid- to high-frequencies. DOLBY HX-PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION SYSTEM This deck is equipped with the Dolby HX-PRO headroom extension system. Since the system functions automatically during recording, no switching operation or adjustment is required. The system is effective with any type of Normal, CrO2 and Metal tape. The Dolby HX-PRO headroom extension system functions during recording to raise the saturation level in the treble range. Therefore, most of the treble range components distorted or lost during recording on conventional cassette decks are more faithfully recorded on the new DENON cassette deck. Features of the Dolby HX-PRO Headroom Extension System (1) Performance of Normal and CrO2 tapes can be improved to very close of that offered by Metal tape. (2) The dynamics in the treble range are improved significantly. (3) Since no decoding is necessary during playback, the improved sound can be enjoyed on any type of tape deck, including portable players and car audio systems. (4) The system functions whether the Dolby B/C NR system is engaged or not. ' 12
