FLEX System: Frequency Level Expander System This system automatically compensates high and low frequency level balance above 1 kHz according to the 1/f curve during playback. Generally, envelope line of sound energy distribution of Hi-Fi sounds corresponds statistically with the 1/f curve. The 1If curve indicates that if the frequency doubles the level decreases by approx, half of the original frequency level. During playback, the FLEX system automatically compensates tapes with poor sound quality at high frequency levels of 1 kHz and over based on the appropriate auditory characteristics. The FLEX system is designed to improve high frequency reproduction in the 10 kHz range be up to 12 dB, particularly in tapes with poor sound clarity and sound presence at high frequency levels. If the playback tape sound matches the 1/f curve, the FLEX system defeats compensation adjustment automatically. When you press the FLEX button to turn the FLEX system on and start playback, the 1/f indicator flash and compensation adjustment begins. Compensation adjustment takes within approximately 3 seconds to complete, depending on the music source. The indicator change from a flashing to a steadily lit condition. When the FLEX system is engaged, each music selection is automatically adjusted during playback. System operation status is indicated by whether the 1/f indicator is lit. Even when the FLEX system is turned on, the 1/f indicator is nullified automatically during all recording functions including: AUTO BLE tuning, CDeDECK synchro recording, and tape copying.
