Adjusting the Recording Level
The proper recording level, which differs according to the
tape type, is indicated on the peak level meter for each tape
type.
Adjust the REC LEVEL control as high as possible without
exceeding the recommended range for the inserted tape.

Tips on recordihg level adjustment
Setting the recording level too low will produce a hissing
sound, while setting it too high will produce distortion.
Generally, the proper recording level for high and low
frequencies is lower than that for middle frequencies. When
recording program sources with many high and low
frequencies, set the level to a relatively low position, then
make adjustments according to recording results.
Recording FM Broaldcasts with the Dolby NR
System (TC-WR545 Only)
If your tuner does not have an MPX (multiplex) filter, or, if
equipped, the filter is not working effectively, set the MPX
FILTER switch to ON when recording FM broadcasts with
the Dolby NR system.
The multiplex filter eliminates reixmants of the 19 kHz stereo
carrier and 38 kHz subcarrier signals which may impair the
operation of the Dolby NR system. Be sure to turn on the
MPX FILTER switch when using the Dolby NR system.
Cassette Care
•Avoid touching the tape surface of a cassette to prevent
contamination of the heads by dirt, dust, or oil on the skin.
•Keep cassettes away from equipment with magnets, such
as speakers and amplifiers, as erasure or distortion of the
recorded tape could occur.
•Do not expose cassettes to direct sunlight, extremely cold
temperatures, or moisture.
Note on cassettes longer than 90 minutes
We do not recommend the use of cassettes longer than 90
minutes except for long continuous playback.
What Is the Dolby HX PRO System?
(TC-WR545 Only)
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.
