As this unit has three separate heads for
recording, playback and erasure, you can

comparing it with the input source signal.
To listen to the input source signal, press
the MONITOR button to turn on the
SOURCE indicator. (Fig. A )
To listen to the sound recorded on the
tape, press the MONITOR button to turn
on the TAPE indicator. (Fig. B )

Comparing the recorded sound
with the sound source
While recording, use this monitoring
function to check that there is no distortion
due to excessive level settings or sound
degradation due to head contamination.
What Is the Dolby HX PRO
System?
The Dolby HX PRO system provides
precise bias control during recording to
reduce distortion and improve linearity in
the high-frequency range. The result is
recorded sound that is highly faithful to the
original. Since the HX PRO system operates
only during recording, the same high-
quality sound is produced even during
playback on other tape decks. The HX PRO
system is independent from the Dolby NR
system and is unaffected by the Dolby NR
setting.
