Notes: 1. Each pins are on pulled down with 100 kΩ inter nal resi stor.
Therefore, it will be low-level when each pins are open.
But pin 24 is mid-level when it is open.
2. Over shoot level and under shoot level of input signal must be the standardized (High: V
Low: –0.2 V).
3. For reduction of pop noise, connect 1 µF to 22 µF capacitor with mode control pins.
But it is impossible to reduce completely in regard to Line mute, therefore, use external mute at
the same time.

The Sensitivity of Music Sensor
A standard level of MS input pin 25.9 mVrms, therefore, the sensitivity of music sensor (S) can request
it, by lower formulas.
A = MS Amp Gain*
B = PB input Gain × (1/2)*
C = Sensed voltage
20log (A × B) = D [dB]
C = 130 [mVrms] (Intenally voltage in a standard)
PB input Gain = 21.3 [dB]
Notes: 1. When there is not a regulation outside.
2. Case of one-sided channel input.
But necessary to consider the same attenuation quantity practically, on account of A(B) h ave made

Like the figure 6(2), Recovery time is variably possible by value of resistor R13. But Attack time gets
about fixed value. Attack time has dependence by input level. When a large signal is inputted, Attack time
is short tendency.

As for internal circuit of music sensor block, music sensor output pin is connected to the collector of
NPN type directly, output level will be “high” when sensing no signal. And output level will be “low”
when sensing signal.

REC Equalizer
The outlines of REC Equalizing frequency characteristics are sh own by figure 9. Those peak level can be
set up by supplying voltage. (0 V to 5 V, GND = 0 V) to pin 10 (GPCAL).
And whole band gain can be set up by supplying voltage (0 V to 5 V, GND = 0 V) to pin 11 (RECCAL).
Both setting up range are ±4.5 dB. In case that you do not need setting up, pin 10, pin 11 should be open
bias.
Note: Depending on the employed REC/PB head and test tape characteristics, there is a rare case that the
REC-EQ characteristics of this LSI can not be matched to the required characteristics because of
built-in resistors which determined the REC-EQ parameters in this care, please inquire the

Automatic Level Control
ALC is the input decay rate variable system. It has internal variable resistors of pin 55 (pin 44) by
RECOUT signal that is inputted to p in 9 (pin 34 ) .
The operation is similitude to MS, detected by pin 13.
The signal input pin is pin 56 (pin 43). Resistor R1, R2 and capacitor C2, external components, for the
input circuit are commended as figure 12. There are requested to use value of the block diagram figure for
performance maintenance of S/N, T.H.D. etc.
Figure 11 shows the relation with R1 front RIN point and ROUT.
ALC operation level acts for the center of +4.5 dB at tape position TYPE I, IV and the center of +2.5 dB at
tape position TYPE II, to standard level (300 mVrms).
Then, adopted maximum value circuit, ALC is operated by a large channel of a signal.
ALC ON/OFF can switch it by pin 15. Please do ALC ON, after it does for one time ALC OFF inevitably,
for ALC time to start usefully (when switching PB → PASS, when switching PB → PASS), in order to
reset ALC circuit.
