Hi, The HK has bias adjust and a calibrated dolby tape to check it by. Also it allows matching of the gain independent of the level controls for adjusting for what ever type and brand of tape you are using. Several neat features, search, by track, counter number etc. Dual capstans.... At the time it was a high end deck. Right after I got it, the bias osc coil failed and I contacted HK in New York for assistance. The VP for engineering called me directly and made arrangements to get it fixed. It would be nice to have that kind of customer care now. The decks were individually calibrated and tested and I believe I still have the hand signed calibration sheet. Works perfect still.
