Dolby C-type used in the TC-K650ES 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 TC-K650ES filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
