Dolby C-type used in the KX-1200 provides 20 dB of noise reduction above about 1,000 Hz, fully doubling the amount given by 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 KX-1200 is a simplified version of the Type I noise reduction system.

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 KX-1200 filters out the pilot signal, and assuring proper Dolby processing of FM stereo programs.
