* A circuit that listens to music: The Dolby NR System is based on a patented circuit which is
“programmed” with information about the way noise is heard by a human listener when music is played
at
the
same
time.
By
playing
the
music
through
the
Dolby
NR
System
before
it
is
recorded,
and
again
when the recording is heard by the listener, the noise introduced by the recording process is reduced
considerably.

About metal tape
*
Whereas
normal,
chrome,
ferrochrome
and
other
sound
rcording
tapes
are
surface-coated
with
magnetic
powder
of
iron
oxide,
metal
tape
has
the
surface
covered
with
an
unoxidized
alloy
whose
main
ingredient is pure iron. Since base film is almost the same in all kinds of tape, the meta! tape does not
differ significantly from the others in regard to its physical and mechanical properties. It, however,
excels in terms of electrical characteristics because of its special surface coating. For this reason, it can
provide
tape
deck
enthusiasts
with
greater
satisfaction,
by
enabling
them
to
achieve
superior
high
fidelity
in the recording and playback of music.
Metal tape has the following performance features when used on the tape deck. ;
. Excellent frequency response at high input levels both in the recording and playback modes.
. High maximum output levels over the entire frequency range.
. Awide dynamic range at high frequency levels.
. Asuperior S/N ratio at high frequency levels.
. An excellent distortion factor at high input levels.
When recording sound on metal tape, it is recommended that you read and follow the instructions
contained in the manual on metal tape.
