Dolby noise reduction
Dolby NR reduces “hissing” when playing tapes. It increases the high

frequency region when recording and then reduces it in playback.
Use the same system during playback and recording. This unit has
Dolby B NR which reduces noise to a third.
Prerecorded cassettes and equipment marked “ë” use Dolby B NR.
