The Dolby HX PRO system provides linearity in high-range
frequency response during recording. Tapes recorded with
this system retain the same high quality even when played
back on other tape decks.
As shown below, characteristics such as output level and
distortion differ widely according to the bias (high-frequency)
current.

Bias current
Established bias current
In conventional systems (see diagram below), the bias
current is susceptible to variations in certain recording
signals which may cause fluctuations in frequency response,
distortion, or other unwanted characteristics.
Fluctuation
With the Dolby HX PRO system, the effective bias amount
added to the bias current is controlled in millisecond units to
greatly reduce distortion, improving linearity in high-range
response and ensuring high-intensity recording with minimal
distortion and noise.

To Protect a Recording
To protect a recording on side A or B
Break out the respective tab.
To recover a cassette for recording
Cover the respective slot with tape.
When using Type fl (CrO2) or Type IV (metal) cassettes
Be careful not to cover the detector slots which are necessary for
automatic tape type detection.

Type Il (CrO2) cassette
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
The use of cassettes longer than 90 minutes is not
recommended except for long continuous playback.
