I got very good results with the PC202s I serviced, Dolby C decoding working exactly as it should. As already mentioned, capacitors aren't usually...
Dolby C indeed will not work well on this unit as-is. It will need calibration to work as intended, all PC202 and P202s I have serviced were off...
That line is indicating a magnetic fluxivity of 200nWb/m, which happens to correspond exactly with the ANSI Dolby level. Picture is taken from an...
