DOLBY HX PRO HEADROOM EXTENSION SYSTEM
The built-in HX Pro headroom extension system improves the
recording performance of your cassette deck,
it prevents large high-frequency signals from overloading the
tape by introducing automatic bias compensation.
HX Pro is not 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.
DUBBING (FROM DECK A TO B)
Open the cassette holders 3 (deck A) and 12 (deck B) by
pressing the OPEN buttons 2 and 13.
Insert the recorded cassette into the cassette holder of deck

holder.
Insert a cassette which is not protected against recording
into the cassette holder of deck B with the open side facing
down and close the cassette holder.
Select the tape direction for deck A and B with the
respective CHANGE SIDE key 15.
Select the required reverse mode (“ or ID) with the reverse­
mode selector 10 to make a single or double-sided dubbing.
Start the dubbing process by pressing one of the DUBBING
keys 18:
NORMAL, for dubbing at normal speed,
the display shows DUBBING.
FAST, for dubbing at double speed,
the display shows HIGH SPEED DUBBING.
An original cassette recorded with Dolby Noise Reduction
will always produce a copy with Dolby NR.
Press STOP ■ to stop dubbing at any desired point.
