Re: [ARSCLIST] Dolby B, et al and now ANRS

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If I remember correctly, ANRS was proprietary to JVC and was somewhat Dolby B compatible although I 
think it was some way JVC worked around Dolby patents. I forgot if JVC decks from that era had ANRS 
and Dolby B. The only definitive answer will come from someone who has been around a while in JVC's 
engineering department. Perhaps start with the Tokyo AES chapter?
