Level meters used on the BX-300 are digital LED peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the BX-300 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection. Playback speed may be adjusted with pitch control.
Dolby C-type used in the BX-300 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by B-type. The 19kHz multiplex pilot slgnal present in FM stereo broadcasts can cause false triggering of the noise reduction system. The switchable MPX filter of the BX-300 filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
For undisturbed listening a jack connector for a pair of stereo headphones is supplied. Connection to other audio components for plaback can be achieved by a RCA cable and recording from a source by a RCA cable. All main transport commands can be issued remotely with a wired remote control.
