Level meters used on the KX-393 are generic digital peak reading meters. Full-logic transport controls used on the KX-393 let it respond to the slightest finger contact for fast and effortless transport function selection.
Dolby C-type used in the KX-393 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.
