PAUSE/MUTE KEY
This is an original feature developed by DENON. It enables both pause functioning during
playback as well as pause and mute functioning during recording operations. It is especially
convenient for adding non-recorded intervals (blank spaces) between selections being recorded.
1. By continuously pressing the PAUSE/MUTE key during recording, non-recorded interval
(blank space) will be recorded on the tape.
2. When the PAUSE/MUTE key is released during recording, the deck reverts to the record-
ing standby mode.
3. To restart recording (or playback), push the PLAY key.

DOLBY
C
NOISE
REDUCTION
SYSTEM
@
The
Dolby
noise
reduction
system
substantially
reduces
the
tape
background
noise
(hiss)
in-
herent
in
the
cassette
medium.
Dolby
B
NR
is
most
widely
in
use.
However,
Dolby
C
NR
is
a
much
more
recent
development
and
represents
a
significantly
improvement
over
Dolby
B
NR.
™
Tape
background
noise
consists
primarily
of
high
freqnency
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
sigrials
by
an
identical
amount
during
playback.
As
a
result,
the
playback
signal
is
identical
to
the
original
source
signal,
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
B
except
for
the
encoding/decoding
response
curves.
The
noise
reduction
effect
obtained
by
Dolby
C
NR
is
up
to
20dB,
compared
to
10dB
with
Dolby
B
NR.
In
addition,
Dolby
C
NR
uses
an
antisaturation
network
and
spectral
skewing
circuitry,
and
significantly
improves
the
dynamic
range
in
the
mid
to
high
frequencies.
