Circuit operation
(1) EE oparation
The input switch is used to select the audio signal input
source (LINE or TUER). This signal is amplified by the
line amplifier (voltage gain: 20dB at 1kHz).
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.
(2) Recoeding
In recording mode, the recording amplifier directly connected to the line amplifier operates.
The PB 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 20dB before it
is input to the recording amplifier, so if the feedback
components are chosen to given a gain of 20dB, the
same REC OUT output level as the line amplifier can
be obtained.
It is also possible to switch the REC equalizer characteristic to suit the tape speed by switchig the control
signal to EQ CTRL. The recording amplifier gain and
equalizer characteristics are set externally.

(3) Playback operation
The signal applied to PB IN is amplified by playback
equalizer amplifier. At this time, the REC HEAD switch
is switched on by a control signal to REC / 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 PB OUT and the playback
line input, The signal to the playback line input passes
though the input switch, is amplified by 20dB in the line
amplifier, and is output to the output buffer (the voltage
gain is different to that for the LINE input and TUNER
input).
It is possible to switch between the input block head
equalizer resonance point and playback equalizer characteristic using the EQ CTRL control signal.
The line output can be stopped by setting muting mode
on using the MUTE CTRL signal. The ALC circuit and
recording amplifier are stopped in playback mode.

Operation notes
(1) ALC level
Set the ALC level in the range – 8dBV to 0dBV by
selecting the values of resistors R1 and R2 connected
between BIAS, ALC LEVEL and GND.
The formula for approximating the value of this resistor
is as follows:
If the ALC level setting is too low, level variation will
increase compared to that of the standerd level (V
OA =
– 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 (V
CC)
as shown in the formula above. Use care when setting
it.
(2) 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.
Also, be certain to apply the mute signal when switching between PB / LINE / TU. In the case of LINE / 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 PB and REC modes on togther. This
will cause faulty operation.
(4) Line output
The line output can drive a load resistance of up to
2kΩ. 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 1kΩ in series with the output so that the
capacitive load is not directly coupled to the IC output
terminal.
