ENGLISH
DOLBY HX PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION
The Dolby HX PRO system monitors the total amount
of effective bias during recording and instantaneously
compensates for any excess bias by reducing the
deck’s bias signal level accordingly. The system
operates independently on each channel. HX PRO is
unlike a noise reduction system because it functions
only during recording and no decoding is required.
Therefore a tape recorded with the HX PRO system
can be played back on any other cassette deck while
retaining the benefits of HX PRO.

pitch during the record mode.
