    Hello, I just got a used Harman/Kardon cassette deck. I was making a
    bunch of recordings when I noticed that the "MPX Filter" button had
    been in the on position the whole time. It kinda threw me off because
    the off position is when the button is pushed in, the exact opposite
    of the Dolby on/off switch. Anyway, the recordings sound OK but the
    manual says that to make the most of the frequency response
    capabilities of the deck to leave the MPX filter off unless recording
    FM broadcasts.

    My question is this. Does it make a big difference if recording from
    a CD lets say, if the MPX filter is engaged? I was recording using
    Dolby C NR by the way.

    thanks for any opinions,
    LP

    I Just notice That When I had The MPX FILTER On My sound from the tape deck is very low. But It mabe the tape deck. I really don't know when the tape is finish iw will know.

    No change is still low even though i had it off the mpx filter, need to know what is wrong? i even put it louder on the past mark where meters should be still low but distorded a little. I give up on this.
