    Why does my Pioneer S-A3700 sound overly bright with treble tones too strong?
    • A
      Aaron HerreraSep 12, 2025
      If the sound is overly bright with treble tones too strong, it might be because the tape was recorded with DOLBY NR but is being played without it. Turn on the DOLBY NR system for tapes recorded with DOLBY NR. When playing tapes on the XR-A370 recorded using another component’s Dolby NR function, reduce treble with the Sound Morphing function.
