(D Noise Reduction Button (NOISE REDUCTION)
NR OFF |
For recording and playback without using the DOLBY NR or dbx
systems, press this button. In the NR OFF position, signals do not
pass through the noise reduction circuits and are output directly by
the shortest route.
DOLBY B, C NR
Dolby noise reduction is an extremely effective method of reducing
background hiss on tapes. The К-1020 incorporates both Dolby В
МН and the newer Dolby C NR system. Dolby C NR is approxi-
mately twice as effective as Dolby B NR.
Tapes recorded with Dolby B NR should be played back with .
Dolby B NR on, and tapes recorded with Dolby C NR should бе
played back with Dolby C NR on.

dbx NR
When recording with dbx NR, input signals with.a large dynamic
range are compressed to 1/2, and expanded by a factor of 2 to
their original state when played back. This means that a large
dynamic range can be obtained even from cassette tapes with
small dynamic range recordings, and noise can also be reduced
at the same time. if metal tapes are used for recording and play-
back, а dynamic range which would have been thought impossible
with cassette tapes can be obtained. For recording and playback
with the dbx system, press this button.
For playing back tapes which are not dbx recorded, set to the NR
OFF position.

Ф MPX FILTER Switch
Press this switch when recording from an FM station while using
the Dolby-NR system. The 19 kHz pilot signal may leak into the
audio output, depending on the tuner and the broadcast condi-
tion. Since the 19 kHz pilot signal may cause improper operation |
of the Dolby NR system, this switch should be turned on when
recording from an FM station, thus filtering out the 19 kHz pilot
signal. This switch should be turned off when recording from other
program sources.
@® BIAS Adjustment Control
This function is, provided to adjust the recording bias to its optimum
value according to the type of tape used.
