RDC-7 With THX-ULTRA-2

Addition or omission of parts.

When servicing the DSP of RDC-7 with the
optional THX ULTRA-2 upgrade, make sure
to refer to this page as well.

Do Not attempt to modify the hardware of a none
THX-ULTRA-2 unit assuming THX-Ultra will work. The
upgrade requires software also. Since the upgrade is sold
separately as an option, this information must be treated as
supplemental technical information for those units having such
an upgrade already in place.

Parts location ID listings in Blue block at the top are for Q721 corresponding to PIN 1~6
and 40 ~ 44. The parts location listings within the yellow block correspond to the SM
components associated to Q721 pin# 18 ~ 28. As the arrow indicates, a wire from a
removed R768 solder landing that connects to IC Q761 pin #22 location (below) is
connected to R745 which is also connected to pin#3 of IC Q721.

Note: All connections at Q761 are in direct relation to the IC pins while at Q721
connection will be through the referenced resistor which is in series to the IC pin.
