• Tapes exceeding 100 minutes are thin and can break or get caught in the mechanism.
• Tape slack can get caught up in the mechanism and should be taken up before the tape is played.
• Endless tapes can get caught up in the deck's moving parts if used incorrectly. Use tapes appropriate to this unit's auto-reverse mechanism.

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 "■■" use Dolby B NR.

VGCA: Variable Gain Control Amplifier

You can achieve a clearer sound by using this feature.

Turning the VGCA on and off

Press [VGCA].

How this unit's VGCA works

Generally, the rate of noise (N) to sound (S) worsens as you lower the volume on an amplifier. With this unit, however, the VGCA circuit changes the gain between 0 and -6 dB, thereby maintaining the same S/N ratio. This change in gain is then maintained as you continue to lower the volume, allowing you to enjoy a better S/N ratio than if the feature was off.
