The Dolby HX PRO system provides precise bias control during recording to reduce distortion and improve linearity in the high-frequency range, the result is recorded sound that is highly faithful to the original.

The switchable MPX filter of the T-1000S filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
