Dolby noise reduction system
The Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reduce the tape hiss noise generated during playback.
The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained when the same type NR system is used for both recording and playback. If a different type
NR system is used, playback is not performed correctly. Make sure that the same type noise reduction system is used for both recording and playback.
Dolby B NR
The most popular noise reduction system used in home audio components. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.
Dolby C NR
Dolby C NR offers improved noise reduction performance over that of the Dolby B NR. It features a superior noise reduction effect, use Dolby C NR
to record or playback with this unit.
It is recommended that tapes recorded with the Dolby NR system be marked “B” or “C”, so that they can easily be distinguished.
DPSS (Direct Program Search System) $
1. Skip play : By specifying a tune located several tunes beyond (or behind) the tune being played, skips tunes between the current tune
and the selected tune and starts playback from the beginning of the selected tune. Up to 16 tunes can be skipped in Skip
Search.
2. Rewind & Play : Rewinds the tape to the beginning and starts playback from there.
3. Single-tune repeated
playback : One single tune is played back repeatedly up to 16 times.
4. Dash & Play : If a non-recorded space of more than 10 seconds is detected during playback, that space will be skipped by fast forward
tape winding.
Recording with Dolby HX Pro ^
What is Dolby HX Pro?
In ordinary recording using high-frequency biasing, the high-frequency bias current, which should be constant, is increased with some recording
sources due to the high-frequency component contained in the music, etc. This increase affects the recording characteristics with distorted high
frequencies and degraded dynamic range and frequency response.
The Dolby HX Pro circuit detects the high-frequency component contained in the music source being recorded, and reduces excessive bias current
to make it constant. As a result, the recording characteristics of high frequencies are drastically improved, and the improved high-frequency
reproduction can also be enjoyed even when the tape is played on tape decks which are not equipped with circuit.

CCRS (Computer-controlled CD Recording System) ™
When connected with a KENWOOD amplifier,CD player provided with " f", "ƒ", " ( ƒ)" marking through the system
control cord, this unit allows to use the CCRS, which starts recording automatically after setting the optimum recording level for the
CD and tape to be used in recording.
1. The CD starts to be played, and the peak value is sampled from
the levels of the signals on the CD.
2. The optimum recording level for the specific CD is determined
and set based on the peak value sampled.
3. The recording preparation steps above take about 20~200
seconds, after which the actual recording starts.
4. After recording (when the CD player is stopped or when the tape
has run out), both the cassette deck and CD player stop.

Glossary
Dolby noise reduction system 0
The DPSS detects non-recorded blanks of 4 seconds or more between music and enables the following four types of simple playback operations
according to the instructions given by pressing operation keys. (It is not possible to perform DPSS operations simultaneously on the two decks.)
Auto-bias function ^
The auto-bias function automatically adjusts the tape's bias value to ensure optimum recording performance with each and every tape.
