Auto ret level functionA function that autom atically sets the recordrng levelaccording to the peak signal level of the program sourceprior to recording.When active, this funwo n gradually decreases the recordinglevel when the sIgnal lev el rises excessively duringrecording.

Dolby HX PRO systemA system th at reduces distortion and noise in high-frequencyresponse during recording. A tape recorded with thissystem produces the same high-qu ality sound even whenplayed on other tape decks.

Dolby NR (noise reduction) system:I system that elimm ates tape hiss noise by boosting low-level signals in the high-frequency range during recordmg,then lorvenng them durmg playback.There are tour types ot systems: A, 8, C and S (unav ailableon the TC-WESOS).
