DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION SYSTEM
The inclusion of the well-known Dolby Noise Reduction
Circuit in this unit complements the characteristics of the
GX Head for clearer sound reproduction. Depressing the
Dolby Noise Reduction Switch to ON position activates the
Dolby circuit to expand low level signaIs before they are
recorded and lowers them by precisely the sa me amount
during playback, thus reducing the extraneous and super-
imposed noise
by as much as 10 dB for the reduction of
tape hiss to an inaudible level.
• When using a tape on which the Dolby System has been utilized
during recording, it is imperative that the switch be depre s sed to
ON position du ring playback also.

TAPE SELECTOR SWITCH
Depress this switch when using Akai Super Range Tape or
other make low noise tape. This fea ture brings out the
maximum response of low noise tape and works to change
the recording equalization according to the tape. Although
this machine exhibits a good frequency response with
regular tape, this is further extended with low noise tape.
• Do not depress this switch when using regular tape.
FOR BETTER RECORDING RESULTS
With the recorder set to recording mode , the input level is
registered
on the VU Meters, but the recording level can be
more precisely set by adjusting the volume controls while
monitoring input signaIs through stereo headphones.
Depress SOURCE Monitor Switch and adjust the input level
so
that the VU Meters register normally. For recording with
the least possible distortion, keep the recording level as high
as possible
within the green part of the VU Meter scale.
SOUND MONITORING
For monitoring sound source during recording, set Monitor
Switch to SOURCE position. If the Monitor Switch is set to
TAPE position,
the recorded signaIs can be monitored as
the tape passes the playback head. When headphones are
used for private listening, this
switch must be set to TAPE
position.
HOW TO USE THE DIN JACK
The Din Jack at the rear of the recorder is for use in
inter-connecting the unit with an external stereo amplifier.
This one-co rd
connection system facilitates easy recording
or playback through an external amplifier as the complex
connection and disconnection of separate plugs and cords is
not necessary.
When recording from
an external amplifier, if the output
level of the amplifier is more than 50 mV, set the Din Jack
Input Selector Switch to HIGH position, and if less than
50 mV, set to LOW position.
• When using the Din Jack connection, the input level is controlled
with the Microphone Recording Level Con troIs.
