Question about RCA VKT-650 VCR

[Blast]

Computer says that between 1990 and 1998 I worked on 4 of those and that my co-workers worked on another 4.

This is a Hitachi built VCR and, going strictly by memory, I think its safe to say that their HI-FI VCR's of this era did not offer Dolby on the linear audio track.

I believe it's also safe to say that the "Hi-Filter" does not work the same as Dolby NR.

In fact I also believe it's a high filter for the HI-FI audio and does not affect the linear audio track.

And, from there I can offer no other information.

The "Hi Filter" definitely does affect the linear audio, the question is whether it's mimicking Dolby without having to pay the license fees for it. It does not affect the Hi-Fi audio which would never need any sort of noise reduction to begin with.

This machine was made in 1984 BTW- one of the first Hi-Fi models, and does not have a stereo TV tuner.

Oh, ok. I'll give you that. The 90's was a long time ago! I'll stand by the rest of it, though.
