REVERSE MODE (REV MODE) There are three settings: One way mode 7- position When this mode is selected by pressing the REV MODE button, playback or recording is performed on one side of the tape only, When the tape reaches the end of the side, it stops automatically (auto stop function), Two way mode _ position When this mode is selected by pressing the REV MODE button, playback or recording can be performed on both sides of the tape. When the tape reaches the end of the first (forward) side, its direction is automatically reversed, and playback or recording continues on the other (reverse) side, When it reaches the end of the reverse side, the tape steps automatically (auto stop function), If playback or recording is started from the reverse side, the tape will stop when it reaches the end of that side, Repeat mode _._ position (RELAYPLAY) [If a tape is loaded in either DECK I or [l] Both sides of a tape are played back repeatedly using the auto reverse system. When 16 sides of the tape have been played back the deck stops automatically. Recording will be performed in the same manner as the two way mode. [If both DECK I and II are loaded with tapes] Relay play will be used for playback (See page 12). FRONT PANEL FACILITIES [ DOLBY NR & DOLBY HX PRO • Dolby NR Systems Dolby NR systems are designed to reduce the amount of tape hiss, mainly in the treble components. During recording, the highpitched pianissimo sounds which are most characteristic of audible noise are boosted, and during playback, only these boosted sections are attenuated, so that tape sound is returned to normal. As a result, the noise is attenuated by an amount equal to the boosting in the treble range. The Dolby B-type NR system reduces noise in the treble range, cutting tape hiss and expanding the dynamic range. The Dolby C-type NR system is even more effective in reducing noise, as it reduces noise from the mid-range on. NOTE: When a tape has been recorded using the Dolby B-type or C-type NR system, the same DOLBY NR system selected for recording must be selected for playback. • Dolby HX PRO Headroom Extension System The DOLBY HX PRO system controls the bias current during recording and maintains it at the optimal level based on the amount of the high-frequency components in the music signal. It therefore provides excellent recording quality even when recording signals from digital sources, which contain a large amount of high-frequency components. To guarantee optimal results, the HX PRO system is activated automatically when recording begins. Since this system controls the quality of recording itself, the clarity of the sound will be maintained even when the tapes are played back on another cassette deck which does not contain the HXPRO Headroom Extension System, 9 I:n
