Additional Information Glossary ATS 'Autorriatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current according to the tape type inserted in the deck. Automatic calibration The automatic adjustment of the bias current and recording level for the inserted tape. This adjustment works together with the deck's ATS (Automatic Tape Selection, see above) to get the best possible recording results on any tape. Dolby HX PRO system Distortion and noise reduction system. The Dolby HX PRO system reduces distortion and noise in high-frequency response while recording. A tape recorded with this system brings the same high-quality sound even when you play the tape on the other tape decks. Dolby NR (noise reduction) system Noise reduction system for eliminating hissing noise. The Dolby NR system boosts the los7q-level signals in high frequency during recording and restores them during playback. There are 4 types in the Dolby NR system: A, B, C. and S. A-type is for professional use (not available on this tape deck), and B, C and S-types are for consumer use. S-type has the maximum noise reduction capability, followed by C and B. Dolby dB NR off Output level noise reduction Tape counter A four-digit readout for monitoring elapsed playing or recording time. Useful for editing tapes. Press RESET to zero the counter (00 00). Test tones 15-kHz, 3-kHz and 400-Hz signals produced by the tape deck when you do the automatic calibration. 100 500 11( sk 10k Hz MPX filter Multiplex filter. A filter for eliminating the 19-kHz stereo carrier and the 38-kHz sub-carrier signals that may impair the Dolby NR system. Usually the tuner has an MPX filter. If you cannot get a satisfying result when recording FM broadcasts with Dolby NR system, your tuner does not have a filter or the filter is not working. In this case, turn the DOLBY NR switch countercolckwise to the position you want B, C, or S (TC-KE400S only) with MPX FILTER. Multi-AMS Multi-Automatic Music Sensor is a function that locates the beginning of up to 30 tracks before or after the current track by detecting a blank space (of over 4 seconds) between tracks. 14
