Dolby noise reduction system
The Dolby noise reduction system was developed to reduce the tape hiss noise generated durin g p layback.
The optimum effect of the Dolby NR system is obtained when the same type NR system is used for both recording and playback. If a different type
NR system is used, playback is not performed correctly. Ma ke sure tha t the same type noise reduction system is used for both recording and playba ck.
Dolby B NR
The most popular noise reduction sy s tem used in h o me audio componen ts. Usually, Dolby NR system corresponds to B NR.
Dolby C NR
Dolby C NR offers improved noise reduction performance over tha t of the Dolby B NR. It fea tures a superior noise reduction effect, use Dolby C NR
to rec or d o r p layback with this unit.
It is re c ommended that tapes recorded with the Dolby NR system be marked “ B” or “ C”, so t h at they can easily be distinguishe d .

DPSS (Direct Program Search System)
The DPSS detects non-recorded blanks of 4 seconds or m ore betw ee n music and enables the f oll owing f o ur types of simple playback operations
according to the instructions given by pressi ng o p e rat io n k ey s . (It is not possible to perform DPSS operations s imultaneously on the two decks.)
1. Skip play : By specifying a tune located several t u n e s be y on d (or behind ) t he tune being played, skips tunes between the current tune
and the selected tune and starts playback from the beginn in g o f the selected tune. U p to 16 tune s can be skip pe d i n Skip
Search.
2. Rewind & Play : Rewin d s the tape to the beginning and starts playback from there.
3. Single-tune repeat ed
playback : On e s in gl e tune is played back repeatedly up to 16 times.
4. Dash & Play : If a non-recorded space of more than 10 second s is d etected dur in g p layback, that s p ace will be skipped b y fast forward
tape winding.
Recording w ith Dolby HX Pro

What is Dolby HX Pro?
In ordinary recording usin g high-fre quency b iasing, the high-freq uency bias current , which should be co nst ant, is increased with some recording
sources due to the high-f reque ncy co mponent contained in the m us ic, etc. This increase aff ec t s t he recor ding c haracterist ics with distorted high
freque n c ie s and degraded dynami c range and f re qu e n cy r es p on s e .
The Dolby HX Pro circuit detects the high- frequency component contained in the music source being recorded, a nd reduces excessive bias current
to m ake it const ant. As a result , the record ing characterist ics of high f requencies are drastically imp roved, and the im proved high-frequency
reproduction can also be enjoyed even when the tape is played on tape decks which are not equipped with circuit.
Auto-bias function
The auto-bias function autom at ic ally adjusts the tape's bias value to ensu re o p timum recording perf o rmance with each and every tape.

CCRS (Computer-controlled CD Recording System)
Whe n con nected with a KENWOO D am plifier,CD player provided with "f", "ƒ", "
control cord, this unit allows to use the CCR S , which starts recording a utomatica lly a fter setting the optimum recording level for the
CD and tape to be used in recordin g .
1.T he C D starts to be played, and the peak value is sampled from
the le v e ls o f the sig n als on the CD.
2.The optimum recording level for the specific CD is determined
and set based on the peak value sampled.
3.The recording preparation steps above take about 20~200
seconds, after which the actual recording starts.
4.After recording (when the CD player is stopped or when the ta pe
has run out), both the cassette deck and CD player stop.
