@ Dolby NR
This unit includes Dolby Noise Reduction which reduces
tape noise to a remarkable degree.
Briefly, the system works as follows:
At low sound levels (where tape noise is most noticeable),
the high frequency (treble) portion of the sound is recorded
at a higher level.
During playback, the same high frequency portion of the
sound is played back at a lower level. Since tape noise is
introduced during recording and consists mainly of high
frequencies, the tape noise is also reduced during playback.
In effect, the sound is boosted during recording, then the
sound along with the tape noise is reduced during playback.
The result is unaltered sound with reduced tape noise.
eTape Counter and Reset Button
The digits return to “000” when the Reset Button is pressed.
The digits advance with the tape to provide a reference to
quickly find a desired portion of the tape.
