Additional Information Index Glossary Index ATS Automatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current according to the type of tape 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. Auto rec level function A function that automatically sets the recording level according to the peak signal level of the program source prior to recording. When active, this function gradually decreases the recording level when the signal level rises excessively during recording. Dolby HX PRO system A system that reduces distortion and noise in high-frequency response during recording. A tape recorded with this system produces the same high-quality sound even when played on other tape decks. Dolby NR (noise reduction) system A system that eliminates tape hiss noise by boosting lowlevel signals in the high-frequency range during recording, then lowering them during playback. There are four types of systems: A, B, C and S (unavailable on the TC-WE505). Type A is for professional use (and is not available on your tape deck), and types B, C and S are for consumer use. Type S has the maximum noise reduction capability, followed by types C and B. 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 the blank space (of over 4 seconds) between tracks. Multiplex filter A filter for eliminating the 19-kHz stereo carrier and the 38kHz sub-carrier signals that may impair the Dolby NR system. Though tuners are usually equipped with this filter, if you got poor results when recording FM broadcasts with the Dolby NR system, your tuner may not have a filter or the filter may not be working. In this case, set the DOLBY NR switch on the tape deck to ON FILTER. Test tones Signals (10-kHz and 400-Hz) generated by the tape deck for bias current and recording level calibration.
