Glossary
ATS
Automatic Tape Selection. The tape deck automatically sets
the appropriate equalization characteristics and bias current
according to the type of tape inserted in the deck.
Automatic calibration
The automatic adjustment of the bias current and recording
level for the inserted tape.
This adjustment works together with the deck’s ATS
(Automatic Tape Selection, see above) to get the best
possible recording results on any tape.
Auto Rec Level function
A function that automatically sets the recording level
according to the peak signal level of the program source
prior to recording.
When active, this function gradually decreases the recording
level when the signal level rises excessively during
recording.
Dolby HX Pro
A system that reduces distortion, and increases high-
frequency headroom during recording. A tape recorded
with this system produces the same high-quality sound even
when played on other tape decks.
Dolby NR (noise reduction)
A system that eliminates tape hiss noise by boosting low-
level signals in the high-frequency range during recording,
then lowering them during playback.
There are four types: A, B, C and S. Type A is for
professional use (and is not available on your tape deck),
and types B, C and S are for consumer use. Type S has the
maximum noise reduction capability, followed by types C
and B.
MPX filter
Multiplex filter. A filter for eliminating the 19-kHz stereo
carrier and the 38-kHz sub-carrier signals that may impair
the Dolby NR system. Usually the tuner has an MPX filter.
If you cannot get a satisfying result when recording FM
broadcasts with Dolby NR system, your tuner does not have
a filter or the filter is not working. In this case, turn the
DOLBY NR switch countercolckwise to the position you
want — B or C with MPX FILTER.
Multi-AMS
Multi-Automatic Music Sensor is a function that locates the
beginning of up to 30 tracks before or after the current track
by detecting the blank space (of over 4 seconds) between
tracks.
Test tones
Signals (10-kHz and 400-Hz) generated by the tape deck for
bias current and recording level calibration.
