The Multiplex filteris simply a lo pass filter with a cutoff of about 15 kHz. what is does is wipe out any multiplex pilot tone that may have gotten through your reciever. as you know, the pilot tone is 19 kHz, and any leakage of this tone might fool the noise reduction circut into thinking that there is significant high frequency content, when there is not. the swith should make no audible difference when recording from fm radio, since fm radio is already limited to a 15 khz frequency response. also, only the golden eared among us will notice any difference recording from CD (or any other source with a better frequency response than fm). no need for flames. -- Dan Remember: " Buffalo never Oink " Seen on a South Dakota travel brocure.
