High

level

high

frequency

sounds

tend

to

be

additive

to

the

high

frequency

bias

signal

that

makes

the

recording

process

possible.

This

results

in

overbiasing

the

tape,

which

leads

to

a

dull

sounding

recording

with

poor

high

frequency

response.

The

HX

PRO

circuit

will

"see"

the

high

level

high

frequency

sounds

and

dynamically

reduce

the

recording

bias

momentarily

to

minimize

the

possibility

of

saturating

the

tape.

The

result

is

a

correctly

biased

tape

with

improved

headroom

at

high

frequencies

and

better

sounding

recordings

of

your

favorite

music.

This

works

in

conjunction

with

the

BIAS

ADJUST

control.

The

BIAS

ADJUST

control

makes

it

possible

to

optimize

the

RECORD

BIAS

level

for

various

high

performance

brands

of

tape.

We

suggest

making

a

recording

from

your

tuner

of

the

FM

hiss

sound

between

stations.

(Defeat

the

Mute

circuit

on

the

tuner

to

do

this.)

Set

the

REC

LEVEL

so

that

the

meter

reads

-15

or

-20

dB

and

make

a

recording

of

the

hiss.

Compare

the

sound

of

the

tape

recording

to

the

sound

from

the

tuner

(not

for

volume

level)

for

similarity

of

the

high

frequency

sound.

Rotate

the

BIAS

ADJUST

control

for

the

best

sonic

match

by

repeating

the

recording

and

listening

process.

If

you

have

a

test

CD,

we

suggest

this

be

done

with

an

8

kHz

tone

at

-20

dB.

This

adjustment

should

be

done

with

the

DOLBY

NR

turned

OFF.

The

REMOTE

CONTROL

handset

duplicates

the

REW,

PLAY,

FF,

STOP,

REC

and

PAUSE

functions

on

the

Front

Panel

of

the

RD

960BX.

The

RD

960BX

may

be

operated

by

the

front

panel

buttons

or

by

the

remote

control.

control

As

a

general

guide,

we

would

suggest

that

the

peak

recording

level

for

Normal

tape

should

be

+3

dB,

Special

should

be

+3

to

+5

dB

and

Metal

+5

to

+8

dB.

Music

with

high

level

high

frequencies

should

be

recorded

at

a

reduced

level

to

avoid

tape

saturation.

You

may

wish

to

ADJUST

BIAS

as

well

to

optimize

the

to

the

brand

of

tape

you

have

selected.
