- What is HX-Pro?
- Dolby HX Pro is not noise reduction and does not use compression or expansion. HX Pro is a technique developed by Dolby Labs to increase tape headroom by decreasing the bias when recording signals with a large high frequency component. This allows better transient response, particularly on less expensive tapes, and requires no processing when the tape is played back. Dolby HX tapes can be played back on any system with no decrease in quality.

- Do I need auto reverse?
- Auto reverse is a great convenience to some people. For me, I usually have blank space at the end of my tapes. I would rather flip the tape and have music than to endure the silence.

- What is bias?
- Bias is the amount of energy transferred to the tape. As tiny amounts of head wear begin, the tape gap grows slightly larger. It is therefore necessary to adjust so the proper amount of energy is transferred in order to maintain proper high-end response while maintained low THD.
