DOLBY NR selector setting (in step 2)
Set the DOLBY NR selector according to your purpose.
OFF: No noise reduction.
B: For recording the sources with Dolby B NR.
C: For recording the sources with Dolby C NR.
÷ Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of
reducing undesirable background hiss on tapes. This unit
incorporates both Dolby B NR and the newer Dolby C NR
system. Dolby C NR is approximately twice as effective
as the earlier Dolby B NR.

The auto reverse function allows the tape running direction
to be reversed automatically. Select the auto reverse mode
(

÷ When the tape running direction is set to ™ , only
the reverse side is recorded.

Display during recording
Peak level meters
Indicate the peaks of the signal levels during recording and playback over a –30 dB to +6 dB range. There are separate meters
for each left and right channel. These level meters have a peak hold function which holds the peak level for about 1.5 seconds.
Tape counter
Use the tape counter to aid in locating a point on a tape (0000 to 9999).
To set the counter reading to “0000”, press the RESET button.
The A or B indicator shown in
the display represents the
last deck operated.
Setting the recording level (in step 6)
Play the loudest passage of the source to be recorded and
watch the meter readings.
Adjust the REC LEVEL control so that the highest peak
reaches +4 of the optimum recording level. Normally, it is
best to adjust the REC BALANCE control (KX-W421 only)
such that the left and right meter readings are even.
