Circuit operation () EE oparation The input switch is used to select the audio signal input source ( or TUER). This signal is amplified by the line amplifier (voltage gain: 0dB at khz). The ALC circuit controls the line amplifier output level. The ALC level is set externally. If mute mode is set in this state, the switch that connects the output buffer will go off, but the ALC loop will not be cut. () Recoeding In recording mode, the recording amplifier directly connected to the line amplifier operates. The HEAD switch in the playback equalizer amplifier block switches on, and the signal is not input to the playback equalizer amplifier. The line amplifier output is attenuated by 0dB before it is input to the recording amplifier, so if the feedback components are chosen to given a gain of 0dB, the same OUT output level as the line amplifier can be obtained. It is also possible to switch the equalizer characteristic to suit the tape speed by switchig the control signal to EQ. The recording amplifier gain and equalizer characteristics are set externally.

(3) Playback operation The signal applied to IN is amplified by playback equalizer amplifier. At this time, the HEAD switch is switched on by a control signal to / EE, and the potential on one side of the head is fixed at GND. The playback equalizer amplifier gain and equalizer characteristics are set externally. The playback level is set by the resistor divider between OUT and the playback line input, The signal to the playback line input passes though the input switch, is amplified by 0dB in the line amplifier, and is output to the output buffer (the voltage gain is different to that for the input and TUNER input). It is possible to switch between the input block head equalizer resonance point and playback equalizer characteristic using the EQ control signal. The line output can be stopped by setting muting mode on using the signal. The ALC circuit and recording amplifier are stopped in playback mode.

Operation notes () ALC level Set the ALC level in the range V to 0dBV by selecting the values of resistors R and R connected between, ALC LEVEL and GND. The formula for approximating the value of this resistor is as follows: () Mute signal Apply the mute signal shown below at power on and off. If the muting time is short, a pop sound will be audible, particularly when the power is switched on. VOA = = R VCC 0.7 R R R V R R (H) sec or more (H) VCC OUT If the ALC level setting is too low, level variation will increase compared to that of the standerd level (VOA = 6dBV), and conversely, if the level is too high, the level variation will decrease, but distortion will increase.there is almost no temperature characteristic, but the ALC level does vary with supply voltage (VCC) as shown in the formula above. Use care when setting it. Fig. 7 Also, be certain to apply the mute signal when switching between / / TU. In the case of / TU switching, it is possible to suppress switching noise by applying a time constant to the signal, in which case it is not necessary to apply the mute signal. (3) Recording control Do not switch the and modes on togther. This will cause faulty operation. V = VCC 0.7 R R R V Fig. 6 ALC LEVEL (4) Line output The line output can drive a load resistance of up to kω. Depending on the type of load, it can cause local oscillation (eg. large capacitive loads that draw large current), so caution is required. In particular, when there is a possibility that the line output will be connected to a shielded cable, or line cable, connect a resistor of about kω in series with the output so that the capacitive load is not directly coupled to the IC output terminal.
