Typical front loading double cassette deck. Tape eject is operated manually. Level meters used on the RS-TR555 are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the RS-TR555 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection. Dolby C-type used in the RS-TR555 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by Dolby B-type. 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. Dbx Type II found in the RS-TR555 is a simplified version of the Type I noise reduction system. The dbx Type II system was designed to be used with systems with limited bandwidth such as cassette based recorders and also uses a simple 2:1:2 compander to reduce noise.
