MICROPHONE MIXING DURING RECORDING
Dolby
HX
PRO
headroom
extension
When
a source
which contains
many
high
-
frequency
compo
-
nents
is recorded
,
these
high
-
frequency
signals
have the
same
function
as
bias and
therefore
,
the
effective
bias
current
changes
.
This
will
result
in
phenomena
such
as
changes
in
the level
of
low
-
frequency
signal
and
subsequent
distortion and
reduction
of
the
high
-
frequency
saturation level
.
Dolby
HX
PRO
headroom extension
system
controls the bias
current
so
that the
effective
bias
is
constant
even
when there
are
fluctuations
in
the
high
-
frequency
components
of
the
input
signal
.
This
greatly
improves
the
high
-
frequency
saturation
level while
reducing
the low
-
frequency
signal
level variations and distor
-
tion
.
•
The
dynamic
sound
recorded
with
this
system
sounds the
same
even
when the
tape
is
played
back
in
a
deck that does
not
have
Dolby
HX
PRO
.
•
This
system
automatically
works when

how

Dolby

is
not

system

LINEAR TAPE
COUNTER OPERATION
When the
power
is connected
,
“
0.00
”
appears
in
the
display
.
During
tape
playback
,
the
digital
counter
operates
as a
4
-
digit
linear
tape
counter
which
displays
the
approximate
playback
time
in
minutes and seconds
for C
-
46
L
,
C
-
60
,
and
C
-
90
tapes
.
There is
a
one
-
minute
error
differential
between the
actual
play
-
back time and the
playback
time
displayed
.
With
C
-
30
,
C
-
46
,
C
-
80
,
and other
tapes
,
this
differential
is
even
greater
.
A
differ
-
ent
time
may
also
appear
for
tapes
of
the
same
length
but
with
a
different
thickness
.
•
When the
recording
level is
too
low
,
the hiss noise
Inherent
in
the
tape
will
be
conspicuous
.
•
When the
recording
level is
too
high
,
exceeding
the
satura
-
tion
level
,
the
recording
will
contain
cracking
noise and
will
be distorted
.
•
If
"
+
4
”
lights
too
often
because
the
recording
level is
too
high
,
the
recorded
sound
may
be
distorted and
seem
to
be
breaking
up
.
If
only
"
O
"
lights
infrequently
,
the level is
too
low
and the
recording
may
contain
tape
hiss
.
It
is
best
to
adjust
so
that
the maximum
sound level
of
the
source
to
be
recorded
reaches the
very
limit
of
the saturation
level
of
the
tape
to
be used
.
The
best
level
varies
depending
on
the
type
of
music and
type
of
tape
so
it
Is better
to
make
a
test
recording
,
using
FM
music
,
records
,
etc
.
DOLBY
NR
and
DOLBY
HX
PRO
Dolby
NR
System
To reduce
the hiss inherent
in
tape
recording
,
use
the
Dolby

recorded
with
the

System
,
set
the
DOLBY

switch
to
B
or
C
