Dolby HX Pro
Special recording circuitry
automatically monitors signal levels
and adjusts bias in the presence of
momentary high frequency peaks.
This allows you to record at higher
input levels (for better signal
quality) without distortion. Dolby
HX Pro operates automatically
whenever recordings are made,
and the resulting higher-fidelity
tape can be played back on any
cassette deck.
To get the most from your new
cassette deck, please read this
manual carefully and follow its
instructions. Save the manual for
future reference.
