[sci.electronics] Approximating Dolby On Cheap Boxes

klieb@uicsl.UUCP (06/06/87)

In order to reduce wear and tear on many of my albums I have made copies
of them on cassette tape. That way I occasionally wear out the tapes, but
the vinyl records remain in near-new condition. I have been shopping recently
for an AM-FM cassette player. Many of the reasonably-priced "boom boxes" have
"graphic equalizers", but virtually all of them lack Dolby noise reduction
circuitry. Since my cassettes were recorded with Dolby C, I am wondering if
anyone who is familiar with the Dolby process can recommend a setting for the
graphic equalizer switches that will result in approximately normal tone.

Suggestions? Thanks.
