A WORD ABOUT DOLBY NOISE REDUCTION

Your cassette player uses the Dolby B Noise-Reduction system to reduce
background noise or tape hiss on your tapes.  When a tape is recorded with
Dolby NR, the noise reduction circuit listens to the program material to
find soft passages where you might later be able to hear the tape noise.
The Dolby NR system increases, the recording level during these passages.
When you play the tape, the volume of these passages is reduced to the
original levels.  This reduces the level of tape hiss to as little as one
third of the usual noise level.
