The basic configuration is identical for all models.

A pressure cast aluminum alloy chassis supports the 3-motor drive, one is the electronically regulated capstan motor. All amplifiers are plug-in modules.

An exchange service is organized for the circuit cards. Faulty cards will be exchanged at minimum charge by factory representatives in the respective country. The same applies to etched circuit boards with connectors ( control board, regulator, motor control, switch board ).

This permits a very efficient service, limiting, in most cases, repair work to finding the faulty module.

Check operating voltages of reel motors and phase shift capacitors if these values aren't attained; see table 5.9 –46 and section " Modifications " per 8.1.( Rewind ).

4.3. Brakes (Stop)

The stop brakes are effective with solenoid de-energized. - Push STOP button.

4.3.1. Brake Torque Measurement

Preparation for measurement per 4.2. Correctly set brakes have following torques:

4.3.2. Brake Adjustment

Check brake system if above mentioned torques are not reached. Brake linings and bands must be absolutely clean and free of grease . Brake bands must be devoid of kinks and lay up full-width on lining.

Details on the modified brake system (brake return spring attached to both ends of the brake-band) are shown on page PL 7a of the parts list. Brake mechanism and solenoid stroke are reset after exchanging band and/or linings.

Page 15

  • Loosen brake manually (push in solenoid core).
  • Check if both brakes clear simultaneously; if not unscrew the 3 chassis fasteners partly, slide chassis around till both bands are clear.
  • If necessary, bend one brake adjustment lever.

The solenoid has to be energized for adjustment.

  • Cover light at the optical end-of-tape switch.
  • Depress " Reel Motors off " (42), depress button ≪ (fast rewind).
  • Loosen fastening of solenoid and reset so that the bands clear rollers by from .1 -.2 mm (.040" to .080")
  • Secure solenoid during this adjustment. Braking torque can be varied by hooking springs at different places on the brake adjustment lever.
4.4. Pressure Roller

The pressure lever is actuated electromechanically. Pressure is set by the variable spring force (fig. 4.4 - 25).

4.4.1. Pressure Measurement

  • Load tape with 1 kHz record.
  • Switch on PLAY.
  • Tie nylon thread to pressure roller axis ( or to a pin affixed thereto )

and pull with a spring scale (or contactor) in sense A till sound volume drops noticeably.

The spring scale must show 1.5 kg ( 3.3 lb. av ).

- Screw C sets pressure force.

4.4.2. Pressure Solenoid Readjustment

  • Switch instrument to PLAY. If no tape is loaded, cover light at optical end-of-tape switch.
  • Slide pressure solenoid to the right gap B (fig. 4.4-25) is .3 mm (.012")
  • Block pressure solenoid.
  • Check if solenoid core is in end position. The core shall not move if the lever is pulled slightly from the capstan axis.
  • Secure fasteners of solenoid with a drop of lacquer.
  • Check pressure, reset screw C if necessary.
4.4.3. Exchange of Pressure Roller

  • Hold pressure roller axis at groove from above (fig. 4.4 25) and remove bolt fastening E to the side.
  • Pull pressure roller axis up and roller to the side. Reassembly is explained in the replacement parts list.

Make sure that no cleaning fluid gets to the sintered bearing while cleaning the roller.

4.4.4. Pressure Lever Readjustment

After exchanging the pressure lever, it is necessary to readjust it with respect to lever F (fig. 4.4 – 25). When the lever is stopped (solenoid core fully out), the distance between capstan axis and pressure roller shall be 10 mm (.4 ").

ATTENTION

Capstan Motor with Sleeve Bearings Modification effective from serial Nr. S 60483 G 78003 see section 8.6./page 35

4.5. Capstan Motor (with Ball Bearing) Fig. 4.5.-26
(Control circuitry see 5.10 & 6.2.)

The capstan axis goes completely through the motor. It is held by a sintered bronze bearing (D) and below by a ball bearing. Both bearings are lubricated for their life and should normally require no service. Capstan axis and ball bearing can be exchanged very easily. A defective sintered bearing is to be sent to the nearest factory representative. (Disassembly see para 3.7.)

4.5.1. Removal of Capstan Axis, Ball Bearings

The capstan motor need not be removed to get axis and bearing out.

  • Unfasten securing clip A. Lower capstan rotor.
  • The axis can be taken out through the top if the tape quide between playback head and capstan axis has been screwed off ( don't disturb guide setting ).
  • If the retaining ring B is removed, the capstan axis can be lowered with bearing C.

Bearing C is a special tight tolerance part and shall be exchanged only with an original bearing.

Special care must be taken with handling the capstan axis and bearings to avoid damage or entry of dust into the precision parts ( run-out better than 1/1000 mm = 40 micro - inch ! ).

Instructions for installation of the new no-turn device A in conjunction with old rotors are given on page PL 9 of the parts list.

Page 17
4.6. Exchange of Reel Motor Bearings

  • Remove reel motor per 3.6.
  • Remove brass sleve A. Open clip B and retaining ring C with retaining pliers, open only wide enough to pull them away. Lower rotor with axis out of motor frame.

The belleville springs (see parts list PL 8) remain on the shaft.

In addition to sleeves A there are washers D for height adjustment of the brake drum ( reel plate ). Be sure to put these parts on the same motor axis at assembly. The reel motor ball bearings shall exchanged only with original bearings.

4.7. Lubrication

All bearings are lubricated for their life and should normally require no service. They shall be exchanged only with original bearings, in case of malfunction. If the capstan axis is exchanged, the upper felt washer of sintered bearing D (fig. 4.5–26) is to be lubricated with some drops MOBIL DTE extra heavy.

4.8. End-of-Tape Switch (Operation: per 5.9.1.)

The light source of the optical end-of-tape switch can be removed by lifting it upward.

Page 18
5. ELECTRONICS

The electronic circuitry is divided into groups, plug-in modules for the most part. There are etched circuit card plug-in modules for :

  • Input amplifier, record amplifier, playback amplifier, oscillator, and record relay.
  • Output amplifier.

There are several etched circuit boards, rigidly mounted but with plug-on connectors for:

  • Regulator
  • Drive control with photoelectric end-of-tape switch.
  • Capstan motor control.

Block Diagram ( Amplifiers )

The block diagram shows the relationships between the plug- in amplifiers.

Page 19
5.1. Switch Board and VU-Meter Board

( Diagram No. 1.077.435 & 1.077.480 )

(Removal per 3.12)

The switch board carries plug-in amplifiers (without output amplifiers), control switches and potentiometers for inputs, balance and volume. The shielded inputs can be plugged on the switch board (below, left-hand). Inputs for playback amplifiers as well as outputs for OUTPUT and output amplifiers can also be plugged in (right-hand).

The equalization slide switch is controled through the power switch. It has to be readjusted in case of exchange. This is done with screws F (fig. 3.12 – 16).

The switch terminal contact areas for input selector, beforeand-after tape switch, and playback functions are printed directly on the board. The rotary switches are encased and indexed against misorientation. Check fig. 5.1 –32. for case and contact configurations. Assembly information is in the spare parts list.

Fig. 5.1–31

Page 20

Fig. 5.1-32

The VU-meter board is linked to the switch board by connectors. It carries the preselector buttons for CH 1 and CH 2; they switch the record-erase signals. (Note that the audio signal has to be switched inversely on the record amplifier when neither button is depressed !)

5.2. Input Amplifier (1.077.700)

Fig. 5.2-34

The input amplifier card contains the pre-amplifiers for both channels.

Input sensitivity is matched through a stepped variable feedback (d.c. feedback fixed) at the signal source voltages AUXILIARY (35 mV), track transfer (8 mV), RADIO (2,5 mV), MICROPHONE high (2,5 mV), MICROPHONE low (.15 mV).

Resistor R 406 / R 426 (100K) is bridged or reduced by parallel resistors for this purpose. If R 406 / R 426 is shorted, amplification of the whole stage is A = 460 approx with 1K in parallel A = 20 approx, and without parallel resistor A = 1.2 approximately. Parallel resitors R 316 / R 317 (CH 1) and R 321 / R 322 (CH 2) are on switch board 1.077.435. The output stage configuration has the advantage that the supply voltage can be fully modulated. Output voltage is nominally 50 mVac, but it can deliver up to 6 Vac undistorted.

This corresponds to an overmodulation stability of more than 40 dB. Aside from the overmodulation stability, sensitivity matching of the input stage through feedback has the advantage in that input noise is not worsened by the series-connected voltage divider.

The record amplifier cards contain an equalization preamplifier ( Q 501, Q 502 ), a VU-meter amplifier ( 503 ), and a driver amplifier ( Q 504, Q 505 ). At the input of the equalization pre-amplifier is a bus voltage level of about 25 mV ( at 1 kHz and nominal input signal, record regulator fully opened ).

Page 21

Recording is equalized per NAB standard. Lows equalization (3180 µsec) is accomplished by feedback through series-connected C 504 and trimpotentiometers P 501 and P 502. Highs equalization can be set separately for both speeds; P 502 for 7.5ips, P501 for 3.75ips.

Trimpot P 503 serves for voltage balance. The driver amplifiers are laid out for high overmodulation stability. Transistor Q 505 supplies the necessary collector d.c. to Q 504 for modulation.

Q 505 represents high impedance for AF which furnishes the entire output a.c. for modulating the record head. Modulation reserve is better than 15 dB. A tank circuit with a resonant frequency of 38 kHz causes current depending feedback in the emitter circuit of the driver stage ( L 502 / C 514 ) for pilot carrier remainders which could interfere with the erase frequency. Between the decoupling point and record head is another tank circuit for the bias of 120 kHz ( L 501 / C 517 ). The decoupling point is shorted by the record relay during playback.

Amplification of the VU-meter stage can be calibrated on P 504.

To protect the VU-meter indicators against RFI (radio frequency interference), resulting in misindication, the stage is decoupled for RF with C 508.

Fig. 5.4-36

The push-pull collector circuit guarantees minimum odd harmonics. Symmetry of sinusoidal waves is assured and interfering d.c. components can't arise. Erase and bias of 120 kHz is high enough to prevent their interfering. The erase frequency is symmetrically decoupled. In mono-operation, load is held constant by the compensation coil ( para 5.5. ) which proves advantageous for voltage and frequency stability.

Bias current can be set with trimpots P 707 to P 710 separately for CH 1 and CH 2 as well as for both tape speeds.

Record Relay

Purpose of the record relay with an electronic switch is to turn on the oscillator " softly ". To get an integral curve of the switching voltage, Q 601 ( switching transistor ) is delayed by an RC - network ( R 603, C 602 ).

Fig. 5.5.-38

C 602 is discharged at the start and the base of Q 601 is at 0V. If contacts 2/3, 5/6 of record relay REL 601 close, bias voltage rises with the charge on C 602 till saturation. When contacts 2/3, 5/6 open, C 602 discharges over R 602.

The head compensation coil has two winding halves acting as dummy load for the inactive half of the erase head during mono-operation. The compensation coil balances out inductive strays of the erase head.

Resistor R 604 corrects Q - factor and assures minimum voltage jump between monaural and binaural operation ( exchange of erase head may require resetting ).

5.6. Playback Amplifier (1.077.720)

Page 22

Playback amplifier cards each contain one playback (pre-) amplifier and one drive amplifier. The playback head is d.c. coupled to the input stage (Q 801). D.c. feedback from the emitter voltage divider of stage (Q 802) goes over the playback head to base (Q 801) and stabilizes its quiescent point. The feedback current is less than 1 µA which avoids magnetization of the playback head. AF-components of the feedback are shunted through C 803. Its capacitive resistance becomes effective at very low frequencies (less than 20 Hz) so that these frequencies are fed back. Playback equalization is switchable NAB - IEC (CCIR). The equalization circuit is in the feedback branch collector Q 802 / emitter Q 801. The RC-member R 808 / C 805 / takes care of the lows equalization (3180 µsec).

Basic time constants of equalization are obtained by shorting the partial resistors of the circuit. For :

7.5 ips NAB ( 50 µsec ) 3 - 4 - 5
IEC ( 70 µsec ) 3 - 4
3.75 ips NAB / IEC ( 90 µsec ) 4 - 5

At the pre-stage exit is a 120 kHz tank circuit for the bias frequency and trimpot P 801 for setting the level of the bus voltage. The signal is conducted over the beforeand - after - tape switch, volume control, and playback mode switch (channel selector) to the drive amplifier.

The drive amplifier is three-stage d.c. coupled. It amplifies the signal to the level of the terminals OUTPUT, headphones, as well as for the modulation of the plug-in power amplifiers. D.c. feedback, emitter voltage divider Q 804 / base Q 803 stabilizes the quiescent points of all three stages. Balance regulation is accomplished with potentiometers P 303, P 304 ( coupled ) in feedback branch emitter Q 805 / emitter Q 803.

In STOP position, when the pressure lever is at rest, output of the playback pre-amplifier (13) is shorted through contact S 5 (switch board 1.077.435).

5.7. Power Amplifier (1.077.850)

Fig. 5.7-40

The power amplifier cards have separate rectifiers and filters for each channel. The power transformer has two separate windings (32 Vac) for the power amplifiers. The entire amplifier is d.c. coupled and works with a single-ended push-pull output stage. The loudspeaker is, practically free of d.c., in the diagonal of a bridge formed by Q 905 and Q 906 as well as the electrolytic capacitors C 907 and C 908. Q 901 and Q 902 operate as voltage amplifiers.

Series connected D 901, R 911, D 902 are used to keep the no-load current of the output transistors constant, independent of temperature. By strong d.c. depending feedback (100 %), collector Q 906 emitter Q 901, the zero point of the loudspeaker output is held constant. AF-amplification is set by the voltage ratio R 905 to R 906.

5.8. Power Supply

(Diagram Tape Drive 1.077.100, No. 1.077.540)

(Removal, per 3.9.)

Both lines of the power supply can be switched off (Micro-Switches). In addition there are two break-contacts which disconnect upon removal of the housing. The sectional tape core power transformer has five windings for following units :

Power supply board 1.077.540 carries the output amplifier connectors.

The electronically regulated voltage (21 V) for amplifiers (and oscillator) is adjusted at P 106. The transistor Q 102 acts as a series regulator, whose conductivity is controlled by Q 101. The zenerdiode D 104 provides a 12 V reference for the emitter of this latter transistor.

Diode D 103 protects the base-emitter diode of transistor Q 101 from overload in case of possible short circuit in the amplifier section.

5.9. Drive Control

(1.077.370, Diagram Tape Drive 1.077.100)

(Removal per 3.8.)

Fig. 5.9-42

The drive push buttons operate contacts on control board 1.077.370. Remote control contacts can be paralleled to these contacts ( remote control contacts F3 to F10 ). To have a minimum of relays, their control is locked by diodes. The principle of their control is explained by an example for better understanding. In the circuit of fig. 5.9-43, relay A is energized and contact a 8/12 (self-holding) is closed. This corresponds to mode PLAY. Relay B is without current, contact b 6/10 is open.

If button << is depressed, relay A is shorted and drops off. Simultaneously relay B is energized and holds itself over self-holding contact b 6/10. Self-holding can be interrupted by the STOP button or by the photoelectric end-of-tape switch. The following table indicates which relays and solenoids are energized for corresponding functions.

To avoid loose tape loops at record and playback starts, the right-hand reel motor receives elevated voltage for about 0.3 sec ( winding reversal voltage 105 V ). Relay C must be energized a short period for this, accomplished by the following circuit :

BRAKE

Page 24

If the instrument is in the STOP mode, relay A is without current and contacts a 12 and a 11 are in rest position (fig. 5.9–45). If relay A is energized (PLAY mode), it will hold over self-holding contact a 8/12. Contact a 7/11 closes. A charging current to capacitor C 111 flows over the relay. This energizes relay C and switches the right-hand reel motor to 105 V over contact c 5/9 (self-holding relay C is interrupted by contact a 12). The charging current falls with increasing charge on C 111 and relay C drops off. When switching back to STOP mode, contact a 7/11 opens and capacitor C 111 discharges over the windings of brake and roller solenoids.

The following table summarizes motor voltages for the drive modes.

Table 5.9-46
5.9.1. Photoelectric End-of-Tape Switch

The working current loop of the relays is closed over the self-holding contacts, the STOP button and the collectoremitter path of switching transistor Q 112. Triggering the end-of-tape switch (Schmitt-trigger) does the same thing as depressing the STOP button.

As soon as light falls on photoelement R 155, its resistance drops and base voltage at Q 111 rises. Collector voltage at Q 111 drops and cuts off Q 112.

The process is accelerated by the falling emitter voltage on R 119 (feedback), so that a pulse-type transcient occurs despite the gliding resistance change of R 155 (sensitivity inertia).

The trigger conditions light - dark, generate the following voltages at collector Q 111: light, 1 V; dark about 22 V. To check the photoresistor, for light and dark values, it must be disconnected from the circuit. Connections FH1 / FH2 (green) on switch board (fig. 3.8 – 11) have to be pulled for this. The resistances are: light, less than 2 kOhm; dark more than 20 kOhm.

( Don't solder at the soldering terminal of the photoresistor, it is heat sensitive ).

5.10. Speed Regulation, Capstan Motor (7.077.725)

(Removal per 3.9.)

The electronically regulated tape drive of REVOX A77 uses a method unknown so far in tape recording. That is why this technology of regulation is described here rather detailed. Checks and adjustment of the regulation electronics are done per 6.2.

Fig. 5.10-48

The capstan motor speed is electronically measured and continously regulated. The driving element is a robust and unpretentious asynchronous motor, whose homogeneous outer rotor generates a minimum of torque pulses, reflected in scant wow or flutter.

To measure the speed, a 120-teeth high-precision gear is cut into the outside surface of the rotor. They are inductively counted by a special pick-up head. The speed is then transformed into a proportional frequency which is analyzed for momentary value in an electric circuit. Any deviation from the nominal, 1600 Hz for 7.5 ips and 800 Hz for 3.75 ips, is detected as to magnitude and sign, and changes the voltage applied to the motor.

The actually regulating network (fig. 5.10–49) consists of a bridge rectifier in series with the supply, whose diagonal is loaded more or less by a power transistor. A power transistor with nearly constant base current doesn't show a genuine resistance characteristic (I – V), for it acts as current control element.

Page 25

Circuit 1.077.725 consists of tachometer signal amplifier (Q 201 to Q 205), the discriminator, and d.c. amplifier with power stage (Q 206 to Q 209). The tachometer signal amplifier amplifies, makes symmetrical and limits the pick-up frequency to supply square wave pulses to the discriminator. D.c. dependent feedback stabilizes the quiescent points of the amplifier stages. The discriminator consists of an LC-series-resonance circuit of utmost constancy due to type of circuit and components used. Best drift characteristics are essential to guarantee the required maximum speed variation of .2 % !

The discriminator frequency can be changed from 1600 Hz to 800 Hz by switching in capacitor C 207. In addition, diode D 201 is polarized in conductive direction, thus requiring at the control side but one low current contact, it also decouples the control line ideally.

Fig. 5.10-50

The series potentiometer P 201 allows detuning the resonant frequency slightly. This permits calibration of the speed separately. The high speed is set by adjusting primarily the circuit's inductivity. Fig. 5.10 –50 shows the voltage characteristic as a function of frequency for the whole discriminator. The operating range of the following d.c. amplifier is given for clarification.

The discriminator is temperature compensated along with the entire circuitry. Fig. 5.10 –51 shows the typical thermal characteristic of the whole system, measured inside the climatic chamber while motor was running.

The signal, delivered from the discriminator, is stripped of a.c. components from the tachometer frequency by integration (C 210 & C 211). The R 215 - C 209 member corrects phase error in the control circuit and improves stability. D.c. amplifier Q 206 - Q 207, whose operating range is shown in the discriminator characteristic, has an amplification of 40 dB. It brings the signal to the value needed for power amplifier Q 209. The phase inversion stage Q 208 has little amplification. Power stage Q 209 consists of a transistor which resists those peak voltages that can occur during cut-off and is able to conduct the power loss, generated during operation, onto the heat sink.

Some interesting system data :

  • Steepness of the discriminator and amplification factor of the following amplifier cause the motor voltage to traverse from 0 Vac to the maximum value 130 Vac within 3 Hz frequency deviation at the 1600 Hz tachometer signal frequency. This means that the motor receives full or no voltage for a percentage deviation of ±.1%.
  • Line voltage variations of 20 % cause a deviation in speed of the order of ± .04 %.
  • Variations ± 10 % in operating voltage 21 V, cause a deviation of speed by ±.1 % (operating voltage is additionally regulated).
Page 26

Changing the supply frequency from 50 to 60 Hz varies motor speed by less than .05 %.

Point 4 shows that the supply can be alternated between 50 and 60 Hz with absolutely no changes in circuitry. The new motor is considerably lighter than synchronous motors were to date. It has neither flywheel mass nor a soft clutch. The capstan axis is rigidly fixed to the rotor, making interchanges very easy. The relatively low speeds of the capstan motor ( 400 and 800 rpm ) provide a large diameter capstan axis.

7.5 ips 3.75 ips 7.5 ips 3.75 ips
Noise Voltage > 66 dB >63 dB > 62 dB > 59 dB
Ext. Voltage >58 dB > 57 dB > 56 dB > 54 dB

Table 6.6-77

If these noise and external voltage separations are not attained, the tape guide elements and magnetic heads are, once more, to be demagnetized carefully.

6.6.3. Noise Voltage, External Voltage "Before-Tape" ( Check )

  • Switch recorder to STOP.
  • Before-and-after-tape switch to INP (fig. 6.6-78).

6.6.4. Erase Attenuation

Following Measurements: Erase attenuation, crosstalk, mono and stereo (6.6.4 – 6.6.6.) can be taken with a selective VTVM (band width less than 100 Hz).

To measure erase attenuation, a frequency of about 1000 Hz is recorded and consecutively erased. The record remaining on the tape is then measured.

- Set controls per fig. 6.6 -80

- Record 1000 Hz, full-modulation.

- STOP, rewind tape.

- Close record volume controls (fig. 6.6-81).

Fig. 6.6-81

Switch recorder to Record and measure the erase attenuation.

The remainders on the tape shall be better than 75 dB under the level of full-modulation.

6.6.5. Crosstalk, Mono (selective per 6.6.4.)

A mono-recording 1000 Hz full modulation is appropriately taken 1 min on CH 1 and afterwards 1 min on CH 2 for this measurement on a factory-tape. Note that the record butt on the unused channel is disengaged.

- Set controls per fig. 6.6-82.

Fig. 6.6-82

Set playback function switch to CH 2, measure the cross-talk separation 1 - 2 and bring with crosstalk compensation trimmer (fig. 6.6 – 83) to best value (more than 60 dB).

- Advance tape to recording on channel 2.

Set playback function switch to CH 1, measure crosstalk separation 2 - 1, correct P 305 if necessary.

For strong corrections, repeat crosstalk 1 - 2 measurement and adjust for mean value.

6.6.6. Crosstalk, Stereo (selective 6.6.4.)

Measure and if necessary adjust mono crosstalk attenuation per 6.6.5. before checking the stereo crosstalk attenuation.

Don't disturb P 305 compensation trimmer during the following measurements.

The generator is switched in parallel on the AUX-inputs while measuring stereo crosstalk attenuation. Close the input to the channel to be measured.

- Set controls per fig. 6.6-84.

- AF-generator 1000 Hz, full modulation, record stereo.

Measurement 1 – 2 :

AF frequency millivoltmeter at output CH 2, record volume control CH 1 fully open (at right limit), record volume control CH 2 fully closed (left limit).

Measurement 2 – 1 :

  • AF frequency millivoltmeter at output CH 1, record volume control CH 2 fully open (at right limit), record volume control CH 1 fully closed (left limit).
  • Crosstalk attenuation shall be better than 45 dB.
Page 34
6.7. Output Voltage Check

- Set controls per fig. 6.7 -85

Fig. 6.7-85

- Load tape, switch to Record (Stereo).

- AF-generator 500 Hz, full modulation.

— AF frequency millivoltmeter at output CH 1 or CH 2. Output voltage shall remain constant (± 1 dB), when the before-and-after-tape switch INP / NAB / IEC and the playback mode switch STEREO / CH 1 / CH 2 / MONO is switched around. If the output voltage doesn't stay within the indicated tolerance, proceed per 6.5.4.

6.8. Wow and Flutter

The values given in the technical data are measured with a wow and flutter meter per Std DIN 45507. Values obtained by a different standard can't be compared.

Page 35
7. ACCESSORIES
7.1. Remote Control

All push button functions can be accomplished by RE-MOTE CONTROL. The remote control cable needs no shielding and its length is not critical.

The remote control unit circuitry is per fig. 7.1-86.

REMOTE CONTROL PLUG (HIRSCHMANN WIST 10)

Fig. 7.1-86

The 27 Vdc on terminal 7 is for use with slide projectors (load 150 mA maximum).

The dummy connector must be inserted for operation without the REMOTE CONTROL unit (this dummy connector shorts terminals 1 & 2).

7.2. Operation with a Timing Clock

The timing device is to be wired into the electric power feed in a manner which will provide electric current to the REVOX A77 during predetermined intervals only. For operation with a timing clock, the power switch and speed selector remains continuously in the position of the desired tape speed.

Page 36
8. MODIFICATIONS
8.1. Rewind

For bad rewind with 18 cm (7") reels : Replace resistor R 125 (820 Ohm) by resistor 1.2 kOhm, 9 Watt (drive control 1.077.370).

8.2. Switch Noise

The following change can improve the situation where operation of the STOP button out of RECORD and PLAY modes causes clicks :

Ground connection brn (fig. 3.13 – 18) is unsoldered from the printed side and resoldered to the ground conductor at playback switch S5 (switch board 1.077.435).

Another improvement results from replacing the diode D 601 (record relay card ) by an RC-network: C = 50 µF / 30 V, R = 100 Ohm / 1/8 W (series connected, observe polarity ).

8.3. RFI

Interference from strong radio an TV transmitters can be removed by the following measures :

Solder 1500 - 5000 pF ceramic capacitors from ground connection shield ( shielded cable ) to chassis ( tubular rivet of connector fastening ) at the disturbed inputs ( see example C 154 OUTPUT terminal ).

Powerful UHF television transmitters may be picked up by the playback head cables. If an interfering buzz occurs, the following change should be effected in the playback amplifier:

Connect a capacitor of 100 pF (maximum 220 pF) from base to emitter of Q 803 (similar to C 803 on Q 801).

8.4. Transfer Play Sensitivity

Resistor R 316 and R 321 are 10 kOhm in recorders of lot 1. Substitution with 3.3 kOhm resistors ups recording sensitivity (gain 10 dB approx).

8.6. Capstan Motor with Sleeve Bearings

Modification effective from serial Nr. S 60483 and G 78003

for illustration see parkslist page E 10.

The capstan shaft extends through the full length of the motor and is supported by two sintered-bronze bearings. The lower bearing is designed to restrict the axial movement of the shaft by means of a plastic coated thrust (low-friction) washer. All bearings are lubricated for their life and will normaly not require any service.

Capstan shaft and low-friction washer may be replaced in the field.

If a bronze bearing has become defective, the motor must be sent to the nearest factory service-center. (For disassembly instructions see section 3.7.)

8.6.1.

Removal of Capstan Shaft and Iow-friction Thrust Washer

Removal of capstan shaft and low-friction washer is possible while the motor remains installed in the recorder.

  • Carefully remove shaft lock A by pulling it sideways with a pair of angled pliers. DANGER! Do not attend to pry the lock loose with a screw-driver etc. because it will fly off quite forcefully. Slide off the rotor portion of the capstan motor.
  • After removal of the tape quide between the playback head and the capstan shaft, the shaft can be pulled up and out of the motor. (Take care not to disturb the setting of the adjusting nut on the tape quide.)
  • To remove the low-friction washer take out the circlip B with the aid of special pliers. The bearing parts can now be disassembled in the following order: Springwasher E, low-friction washer F and thrust bearing G.
  • The capstan shaft may now be removed by pulling it downwards and out of the motor.
  • When re-assembling the lower bearing, apply one drop of Isoflex PDP65 oil to the low-friction washer.

When handling shaft and bearing, extreme care must be exercised, so as to avoid damaging them and to prevent any dust particles from entering the precision bearings. (runout accuracy 1/1000 mm).

8.5. Replacement of Capstan Motor

Starting with Serial Nos. S15500 and G16150 a new type of Capstan-Motor was installed which operates on a 20 V higher supply voltage and therefore requires a modified power-transformer. The voltage appearing at point E8 blu (speed control board 2.077.725) now measures 150 V. When using an old motor in conjunction with a new transformer, a type 40318 transistor must be used in position Q 209 on the speed control board.

Page 37
9. TROUBLE SHOOTING

Pre - Check :

Check network voltage.

Allowable deviation ( also for short periods ) at respective settings of the voltage selector :

110 Vac : min 96 Vac, max 125 Vac
130 Vac : min 112 Vac, max 145 Vac
150 Vac : min 130 Vac, max 165 Vac
220 Vac : min 190 Vac, max 245 Vac
240 Vac : min 210 Vac, max 270 Vac
250 Vac : min 225 Vac, max 290 Vac

Use a regulator if the deviations are higher. Note that regulators have a marked leakage field (keep far from recorder).

Check of regulated supply voltage 21 Vdc. Adjust on P 106 or replace diode D 104, if necessary.

9.1. Faults in the Drive

Capstan Motor fails to run :

Check motor capacitor C 151. Check regulation electronics, test points ( diagram 1.077. 725 ).

If the capstan motor does not start by itself after manual stopping, the regulator pre-amplifier is oscillating. Exchange R 206 (100 Ohm) against 330 Ohm.

Check capstan bearings, exchange ball bearings against factory - new original ones.

Capstan motor rumbles :

Capstan motor whistles :

Tape Speed too low :

Check gap rotor to pick-up ( per 6.2.1 ). Put a strip of rubber or equivalent between pick-up and its mounting

surface for vibration isolation.

Unpotted pick-ups are to be exchanged for potted ones.

Exchange bearings against factory - new original ones.

Check pick-up separation. Measure pick-up frequency (per 6.2.2). Check regulation electronics, test points.

Page 38

Mechanical causes :

Periodic wow and flutter whose origin is in a defective pressure roller or whipping capstan axis can be recognized by observing the rotating element's rythm (pressure roller or capstan axis might be marked with felt tip pen). Pressure roller, see also 4.4.1.

If rythm of wow is identical with the rotation of the lefthand reel motor, the origin may be either mechanical or electrical. The mechanical cause may be defective bearing or misadjusted brake.

Electrical causes :

Overly strong counter torque of left-hand reel motor can be cause for wow; check motor voltages, see table 5.9 -46.

If wow occurs only at 3.75 ips, it may have its origin in too large a distance of pick-up or in the regulation circuit, (see 6.2.1).

Wow at both speeds may be caused by a defective capacitor in the RC-network R 215/.C 209 in the regulation circuit. Replace capacitor.

Inadequate Starting Behavior, Slow Rewind :

Reels smaller than 60 mm (2 - 3/8") should not be used if at all possible.

Optimum behavior can be expected only at nominal line voltage.

Check reel motors with loosened brakes for light run (axial play of reel motors .2 to .3 mm ( .008 to .012").

Increase R 125 to 1 or 1.2 kOhm.

Push Buttons Don't Hold :

Dummy connector REMOTE CONTROL is missing.

End-of-tape switch is defectife, see 5.9.1, or strong light is incident on photoresistor.

Check relay operating voltage (27 Vdc).

End-of-Tape Switch Doesn't Function :

Lamp defective. Check photoresistor and trigger, see 5.9.1.

Page 39

Brake Solenoid Doesn't Function :

Check solenoid coil. Clean core. Check relay operating voltage (27 Vdc).

Brakes (STOP) too weak, too strong, irregular :

Check brake bands, check brake lining. Clean and degrease. Measure brake tension per 4.3.

NACHTRAG ZU DER EINSTELLANLEITUNG (Kapitel 6)

Im Laufe der Zeit erfuhr die A77 diverse Anpassungen, durch welche einige Einstellarbeiten nun von den in der vorhergegangenen Anleitung beschriebenen abweichen. Die Abweichungen sind nachfolgend mit der entsprechenden Seiten- und Kapitelnumerierung versehen aufgeführt.

Seite 14, Kapitel 4.4.1 Messung der Andruckkraft

Die Andruckkraft bei Geräten mit polierter (glänzender) Tonmotorachse beträgt 1,5 kg, bei Geräten mit sandgestrahlter Tonmotorachse (matt) 1,2 kg.

Seite 23, Kapitel 5.10 Speed Regulation, Capstan Motor

Druckfehler, die Nummer 7.077.725 heisst richtig 1.077.725 (nur im englischen Text).

Seite 25, Kapitel 5.11 Speed Regulation, Capstan Motor 1.077.724 (neues Kapitel)

Das gesamte Regelungssystem besteht aus Tonmotor, Regelelektronik und Tachometer zur Drehzahlmessung.

In der Eingangsschaltung mit IC201 wird die zur Bandgeschwindigkeit proportionale Frequenz in ein Rechtecksignal umgeformt. Die nachfolgende Frequenzteilerschaltung sorgt für ein exakt symmetrisches Signal. Die negativen Flanken des freauenzaeteilten Rechtecks triggern eine monostabile Kippstufe (Präzisionstimer IC202). Durch Unterdrückung jedes zweiten Impulses bei der hohen Geschwindigkeit muss der Motor doppelt so schnell drehen, um dieselbe Triggerfrequenz und damit dasselbe Signal am Ausgang von IC202 zu erhalten. Die Impulsbreite wird für IC202 durch einen hochstabilen RC-Seriekreis bestimmt. Mit Potentiometer R217 kann die Sollgeschwindigkeit eingestellt werden. Ein Tiefpass bildet den DC-Mittelwert aus dem Rechtecksignal. Dieser wird im nachfolgenden DC-Verstärker, welcher ein Netzwerk für die Stabilität des Regelkreises enthält, weiterverarbeitet und steuert schliesslich als Gleichspannungswert den Regeltransistor Q205 an. Bei äusseren Drehzahländerungen variiert das Tastverhältnis des Signals bei Punkt F und somit auch die Steuerspannung für den Regeltransistor.

Durch das Anlegen einer externen Referenzspannung am Anschluss CONTROL VOLTAGE bei IC202 kann die eingestellte Frequenz über einen grossen Bereich verändert werden (variable Bandgeschwindigkeit).

Seite 26, Kapitel 6.2.4 Tachoabgleich 1.077.724 (neues Kapitel)

Der Luftspalt zwischen Tachokopf und Rotor soll 0,3 ... 0,4 mm betragen. Die Einstellung ist in Ordnung, wenn an den Anschlüssen E1 (brn) und E2 (blu) 35 ... 50 mV (bei der kleineren Geschwindigkeit) Tachometer-Signalspannung gemessen wird.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE ADJUSTMENT IN-STRUCTIONS (Chapter 6)

Over the years, a few adaptations have been introduced for the A77. Adjustment work may therefore differ. The following paragraphs replace or must be added to the indicated page and chapter number.

Page 14, Chapter 4.4.1 Measuring the pinch roller force

Pinch roller pressure must be 1.5 kg at polished shafts (shiny); at sandblasted capstan shafts (mat), pressure must be 1.2 kg.

Page 23, Chapter 5.10 Speed Regulation, Capstan Motor

Printing error, the number 7.077.725 should be 1.077.725 (only in the English text).

Page 25, Chapter 5.11 Speed Regulation, Capstan Motor 1.077.724 (new chapter)

The speed control system consists of the capstan motor, the speed regulating circuit and the tacho head to sense the motor speed.

The input circuit with IC201 shapes the speed which is proportional to the frequency into a square wave and the following divider circuit delivers an exactly symmetrical signal. The trailing edges of the square wave are triggering a mono flip-flop (precision timer IC202). When selecting the higher tape speed, every second pulse becomes suppressed, thus the motor has to run with double speed in order to produce the same trigger frequency and consequently the same signal at the output of IC202. The pulse width for IC202 is determined in a highly stable RC-series network. With R217, the motor speed can be adjusted to its nominal value. By passing the signal through a low-pass network, an average DCvalue is derived from the square wave. This DCpotential is further processed in a DC-amplifier, which contains a network to ensure the stability of the control loop. The DC-signal then reaches the base of the regulating transistor Q205. A variation in motor speed will also vary the duty cycle at F with a consequent change of the bias potential for the regulating transistor. By feeding an external reference potential to the terminal CONTROL VOLTAGE at IC202, the adjusted frequency may be varied over a wide range (variable tape speed).

SUPPLEMENT POUR INSTRUCTIONS DE RE-GLAGE (chapitre 6)

Le magnétophone A77 ayant subi divers changements au cours du temps, il s'est avéré nécessaire de modifier certains réglages décrits dans les instructions précédentes. Ce supplément concerne les pages et les chapitres suivants.

Page 14, chapitre 4.4.1 Mesure de la force d'appui

La force d'appui du galet est de 1,5 kg pour les magnétophones ayant un axe de cabestan lisse (brillant) et de 1,2 kg pour ceux avec un axe sablé (mat).

Page 23, chapitre 5.10 Régulation de vitesse du moteur de cabestan

Suite à une erreur d'impression le numéro 7.077.725 est 1.077.725 (seulement dans la version anglaise).

Page 25, chapitre 5.11 Régulation de vitesse du moteur de cabestan 1.077.724 (nouveau chapitre)

L'ensemble du système se compose du moteur de cabestan, de l'électronique de régulation et de la tête tachymétrique.

L'étage d'entrée (IC201) met en forme le signal provenant de la tête tachymétrique. L'étage suivant formé d'un diviseur de fréquence donne un signal parfaitement symétrique. Les flancs négatifs du signal rectangulaire commandent ensuite une monostable de précision (IC202). La suppression d'une impulsion sur deux oblige le moteur à tourner deux fois plus vite afin de retrouver la même fréquence de commande et le même signal à la sortie de la monostable (IC202). Un réseau RC de précision garantit la stabilité de la largeur des impulsions délivrées par IC202. La vitesse nominale se règle avec le potentiomètre R217. Après le passage dans un intégrateur donnant la valeur movenne du signal, celui-ci peut attaquer un ampli à courant continu contenant un circuit pour la stabilité de la régulation. Cette tension continue commande finalement le transistor de régulation Q205. Une variation extérieure de la vitesse de rotation changera le rapport d'impulsions au point F et par conséquent la tension appliquée au transistor de régulation. L'application d'une tension de référence au point CONTROL VOLTAGE de l'IC202 permet de varier la vitesse dans une large gamme.

Page 26, Chapter 6.2.4 Tacho Head Adjustment 1.077.724 (new chapter)

The air gap between the tacho head and the rotor of the capstan motor should amount to 0.3 ... 0.4 mm/0.011 ... 0.02 inches. The head is correctly positioned when measuring a signal voltage of 35 ... 50 mV at lower speed between the connectors E1 (brown) and E2 (blue).

Page 26, chapitre 6.2.4 Réglage de la tête tachymétrique 1.077.724 (nouveau chapitre)

L'espace entre la tête tachymétrique et le rotor du moteur doit être de 0,3 à 0,4 mm. Le réglage est correct lorsque la tension mesurée entre E1 (brun) et E2 (bleu) est de 35 à 50 mV pour la plus petite vitesse.

Page 43
Geschwindigkeits-Eichung

  • Band einlegen und Gerät auf hoher Bandgeschwindigkeit auf Wiedergabe starten.
  • Zähler an IC202, Pin 3 (F) und Masse auf Drehzahlregelungs-Steckkarte anschliessen.
  • Zähler-Anzeigewert gemäss Tabelle A, bei Abweichungen mit R217 korrigieren.
  • Gerät auf kleine Bandgeschwindigkeit umschalten, die Anzeige am Zähler darf nicht ändern.

Bei beiden Geschwindigkeiten muss die Anzeigetoleranz innerhalb 1 Hz liegen.

Tape Speed Calibration

  • Connect digital counter at pin 3 (F) of IC202 and ground (E2, blue wire) located on speed control PCB.
  • Load recorder with tape, select high tape speed and start recorder in PLAY-mode.
  • The counter display should be as per table A, correction can be made with R217.
  • Switch recorder to low tape speed, read-out must be the same.

At both tape speeds, the indicated frequency must be between ± 1 Hz of the nominal frequency.

Page 27, Chapter 6.3.3 Reproduce Level from

The reproduce levels have been changed due to

new tape brands that allow quite a higher mag-

netization (test tape playback level by 1000 Hz,

257 nWb/m = 0 VU). Adjust the output levels to

1.55 V instead of 2 V (adjustable with trimmpo-

dern 155 mV betragen (siehe Korrektur Kapitel 200 mV (see correction chapter 6.3.3). 6.3.3).

Page 30, chapitre 6.5.4 Niveau d'enregistrement

Die Ausgangsspannung sollte nicht 200 mV son- The output voltage should be 155 mV instead of La tension de sortie passe de 200 à 155 mV (voir corrections chapitre 6.3.3).

Seite 30, Kapitel 6.6.1 Klirrfaktor (über Band), VU-Meter Eichung

Moderne Bänder können extrem hoch ausgesteuert werden. Darum wird die maximale Aussteuerung nicht mehr nach K3 definiert sondern auf 257 nWb/m bei 1000 Hz (0 VU) resp. 514 nWb/m bei 1000 Hz (0 VU + 6 dB). Die Einstellung wird über Band wie folgt vorgenommen:

Gerät wie Bild 6.6.—74 einstellen.

  • Generatorpegel am Eingang so einstellen, dass der Wert am Ausgang OUTPUT 3,1 V (+ 6 dB VU) nicht überschreitet (K3 wird nicht beachtet).
  • Eingangspegel um 6 dB absenken und die VU-Meter auf 0 VU eichen (Trimmpotentiometer METER CALIB., Bild 6.6.-75).
  • Klirrfaktor über Band bei 0 VU + 6 dB darf 2 % nicht überschreiten.

Page 30, Chapter 6.6.1 Distortion Factor (via Tape), VU-meter Calibration

With modern tapes, an extremely high magnetization can be achieved. Therefore, maximum output level is not anymore determined with the distortion factor K3. 257 nWb/m by 1000 Hz corresponds to 0 VU (775 mV); 514 nWb/m by 1000 Hz corresponds to 0 VU + 6 dB (1.55 V). Calibrate via tape:

  • Set controls per Fig. 6.6-74.
  • Adjust frequency of your AF-generator according to the used bandpass filter to measure K3. Recorder's output level should not exceed 3.1 V (+ 6 dB VU). Disregard distortion K3.
  • Lower generator level by 6 dB and calibrate VU-meter to display 0 VU (trimmpotentiometer METER CALIB., Picture 6.6–75).
  • Distortion factor via tape by 0 VU + 6 dB ist not allowed to exceed 2 %.

Page 31, Chapter 6.6.2 Noise Voltage via Tape

Noise voltage measurements: refer to the 100 % modulation (514 nWb/m).

Page 32, Chapter 6.6.4 Erase Attenuation

The recorded reference level by 1000 Hz is + 6 VU (514 nWb/m).

Page 30, chapitre 6.6.1 Distorsion "après bande", étalonnage des VU-mètres

Les bandes modernes ad mettent une magnétisation beaucoup plus élevée. De ce fait le niveau maximum n'est plus défini par le taux de distorsion, mais par le niveau de référence de 257 nWb/m à 1000 Hz pour 0 VU, respectivement 514 nWb/m à 1000 Hz pour 0 VU + 6 dB. Procéder comme suit pour le réglage "après bande": FIG)URE

  • Placer les éléments de commande selon la figure 6.6-74.
  • Régler le générateur (fréquence selon le filtre passebande utilisé) de manière à obtenir un maximum de 3,1 V (+ 6 dB VU) sur la sortie OUTPUT. (Ne pas tenir compte de la distorsion).
  • Abaisser le niveau du générateur de 6 dB et régler les VU-mètres à 0 VU (potentiomètres METER CALIB., figure 6.6.—75).

Page 31, chapitre 6.6.2 Bruit de fond "après bande"

Le niveau du bruit de fond est mesuré par rapport au niveau maximum (514 nWb/m).

Page 32, chapitre 6.6.4 Profondeur d'effacement

Le niveau de référence à l'enregistrement est à + 6 dB VU (514 nWb/m).

  • Seite 31, Kapitel 6.6.2 Geräuschspannung über Band
  • Die Geräuschspannungsmessungen beziehen sich auf Vollaussteuerung (514 nWb/m).

Seite 32, Kapitel 6.6.4 Löschdämpfung

Der Aufnahmepegel bei 1000 Hz beträgt + 6 VU (514 nWb/m).

12.1. REVOX A77-DOLBY
12.1.1. Introduction

The DOLBY B Type Noise Reduction System is based on the same principles as the professional DOLBY A System, but is simplified and economical to permit its application in consumer tape recorders. The system is designed to reduce tape hiss by increasing the level of low-level signals in a variable range of high frequencies during recording, and automatically reducing the level during playback of the same locations in the program. Although no change is then heard in the original signal, the attenuation during playback results in a reduction of tape hiss. The amount of noise reduction achieved is approximately 10 dB (DIN weighting).

The basic Dolby B circuit can be switched to make it operate in either the "record" or "play" mode. For many applications, therefore, it is possible to work with one switchable record-play processor per channel. However, in order to allow simultaneous recording and monitoring of Dolby-processed tapes and track-to-track transfer of Dolby recordings, the Dolby version of the Revox A77 is equipped with separate recording and playback processors for each channel.

Because of the limited space available in the Revox A77, the plug-in power amplifiers cannot be accomodated in the Dolby version.

In order to realize the full subjective improvement in signalto-noise ratio which the Dolby System can provide, it is essential that noise and hum in the program and other components used be substantially below the level of the tape hiss, since these noises, like all sounds of any kind which are part of the original program, will not be reduced or audibly affected in any other way by the Dolby System. Because the Dolby B System reduces noise only above 200 Hz, it is particularly important that low-frequency noise and hum be as low as possible. To avoid amplitude distortion when working with the Dolby System, the tape recorder must have a very linear frequency response.

12.1.2. Circuit Operation Record Processor 1.077.853

In addition to the actual processor, this printed circuit board also contains amplifiers and filters for each channel plus a calibration oscillator which is common to both channels. This oscillator is coupled to the input of each channel by separate 1 Mohm resistors. Power is supplied to the oscillator when the front panel switch is set to the "calibrate" position. The oscillator level is adjustable by means of potentiometer P 103 r which is pre-set at the factory. The oscillator frequency is approximately 800 Hz.

The signal at input 5(11) is amplified by Q1, Q2 from 9 mV to 200 mV.

Low-level Frequency Response Characteristics of Record and Play Processors

Fig. 12.1.-1.

From there it passes through the filter formed by L1, L2, C3--C7 which is intended to suppress interference from multiplex signals when recording stereo FM broadcasts. Furthermore, any unwanted signals above 20 kHz (e.g., residual bias and erase oscillator signals) are sufficiently attenuated by the active low pass filter built around transistor Q4 that they cannot upset the operation of the dynamic filter section of the noise reduction circuit. If the multiplex filter with its cut-off frequency of 14.5 kHz is not required, it may be disabled by a relay which operates on both channels. The audio signal at the output of the low pass filter Q4 is divided into a main channel and a side channel.

The main channel feeds the signal via R42 and the emitter follower Q9 directly to the output 1 (13).

In the side channel, the signal passes through the dynamic high pass filter formed by C11, R19, C12 and the drainsource path of FET Q5. When low-level signals are present, the FET is non-conductive and has a high drain-source resistance, so that only the first section of the filter C11, R 19 controls the response of the side chain. The output from this filter is then amplified by Q6, Q7 and recombined with the main signal at Q9 via the resistor R 41.

The gain of the side chain is so adjusted that at - 40 VU, the combined signal at the output of Q9 is increased by 10 dB at 5 kHz. The graphs in Figure 12.1.-1. show the frequency response for low-level signals. The side-chain output signal is also fed to transistor Q8 where it is amplified, and then rectified and smoothed by the nonlinear integrator D4, D5, R34, R36, C20, C21, the resulting D.C. voltage being returned to the gate of FET Q5.

Page 92

Record Processor Characteristics

Low-level Frequency Response Characteristics of Record Processor under High-level Signal Conditions

Fig. 12.1.-2.

If a higher audio signal causes the D.C. voltage on the gate to exceed the bias point of the source – which is set with P 101 r(law control) – the drain-source path will become conductive. This then results in a change of the turn-over frequency of the second high pass branch formed by C12 and the drain-source resistance. With increasing input level, the proportion of the side channel signal added to the mainchannel signal will become smaller, resulting in a frequency characteristic as shown in Figure 12.1.–2.

At 0 VU, the side channel component has become so small that the main signal will appear practically unaltered at the output, that is, it has a linear frequency characteristic.

The variable filter action is shown in Figure 12.1.-3. It shows the amplitude characteristics of test signals at different frequencies and at a low level (-42 VU, which is below the threshold of the compressor) in the presence of 0 VU signals of various frequencies which drive the compressor into gain reduction. When comparing this with a filter of fixed bandwidth, one will note that marked noise reduction is obtained at high frequencies in the presence of high-level signals of lower frequency.

A two-stage non-linear integrator is used in the side chain to avoid the generation of modulation products on transients.

For small signal level variations, diode D5 is non-conducting, so that the time constant of the RC combination R39, C24, provides considerable smoothing effect. On a sudden increase, however, D5 becomes conductive and quickly lowers the gain of the side chain. For large amplitude transients, the attack time will be reduced to 1.5 milliseconds, approximately. To avoid overshoots in the output during this interval, two clipping diodes D2, D3, are provided which respond to extreme transients only until the side chain has returned to its original operating point. As a result, the signal appearing at the output consists of a large amplitude undistorted main signal mixed with a small amplitudeclipped side chain signal. The distortion of the output signal is therefore small, and as the effect lasts for so short a time, inaudible.

Fig. 12.1.-3.

To prevent the erase oscillator from interfering with the control circuit, the gain of Q8 is greatly reduced at the frequency of the erase oscillator by the parallel resonant circuit L3, C22. Capacitors C19 and C20 give additional attenuation.

Playback Processor 1.077.852

The same basic circuit is used for the playback processor, but instead of the side chain being fed from the input, it is fed from the output. Furthermore, the phase of the output signal (and hence of the side chain signal) is opposite to that of the input so that the side chain forms a negative feedback element, and produces replay characteristics which are complementary to the record characteristics.

The playback processors for both channels are contained on one plug-in printed circuit board. In addition, this board contains the VU meter amplifier Q9, used for matching the the 100 m V levels to the VU meters. Potentiometer P 103 p adjusts the gain of that stage.

The signal arrives from input 9 (13) and is amplified by Q1, Q2, Q3 from 40 mV to the Dolby Level of 100 mV. The voltage divider formed by R14, R15, matches the output signal to the A77 internal operating level of 9 mV which then appears at point 11 (14).

In order to be able to work without Dolby noise reduction, the side chain signals can be shorted out by Q4, in the playback processor and by Q3 in the record processor. Both devices are activated by the Dolby "In- Out-" switch 💿 on the front panel of the recorder.

Page 93

12.1.3. Use of the Dolby Circuit in the Tape Recorder

To achieve correct performance both the record and playback sections must work at identical levels, that is, the tape recorder must have unity gain and a very linear frequency response from the output of the record processor to the input of the playback processor. All Dolby-encoded tapes must be recorded with the operation of the noise reduction circuitry referred to an absolute level of tape flux. Because the same flux level is also standardized for playback, interchangeability of Dolby-encoded tapes is assured. The standard tape flux is 185 nWb/m which corresponds to the Ampex Reference Level on Ampex calibration tapes with NAB equalization.

Any change in gain between the output of the record processor and the tape would be equivalent to a shift in the processor's characteristics. Differences in tape sensitivity must therefore be balanced out, using the RECORD CALI-BRATION (5) / (52) control provided on the front panel for this adjustment.

Mismatch Response: 2 dB Gain Between Record and Play Processors

Mismatch Response: 2 dB Loss Between Record and Play Processors

Fig. 12.1.-6.
12.1.4. Matching and Mismatching

The frequency response of a record/playback processor chain connected in series hould be within a tolerance of ± 1 dB. Typically, deviations much smaller than this are achieved. Although mismatching may arise from a number of causes, most commonly it is the result of incorrect adjustment of the signal channel between the record and playback processors for unity gain, either on a wide-band basis or at high frequencies. The effect of such gain errors (wideband) are shown in Figures 12.1.-6. and 12.1.-7. Under dynamic program conditions, response deviations of this magnitude are inaudible.

Other sources of error are incorrect alignment or a build-up of component tolerances. Individual variations in FET's are mainly responsible for errors in the processor characteristics.

It can be seen that the region most sensitive to mismatch is that at a level of about -25 VU; the error will be less at higher and lower levels.

Basic Printed Circuit Board 1.077.854

This board carries both plug-in processors and all of the required interconnections. Also on this board is a Zener diode to derive the + 7.2 V from the 21 V supply and an RC combination to filter out any hum in the + 27 V supply for the relay in the record processor.

All interconnections between the switch board and the printed circuit cards carrying the calibration potentiometers, the power supply, the VU meters and the switches "Dolby in/out", "Filter in/out" and "Calibration" are either soldered or plugged onto this board.

Fig. 12.1.-7.
Calibration Potentiometer Board 1.077.342

Two potentiometers are mounted on this board for individual front panel adjustment of both record channels to match them to tapes of different sensitivity.

Switchboard 1.077.426

This differs from the corresponding board in the standard version of the A77 in that it carries the pluggable inputs and outputs for the Dolby processor. The NAB/IEC switch has been modified to carry the function of switching the VU meters for metering level from the tape as well as the signal from the record amplifier which is normally metered during recording. Equalization characteristics remain NAB in all three positions of the monitor selector (Tape-Input-Calibration).

Power Transformer 1.077.524

The transformer differs from the standard version in that the wire of the winding for the regulated 21 V supply has been changed from 0.5 mm diameter to 0.9 mm. Both 32 V windings for the power amplifiers have been omitted.

Reel Motors Off Switch

This switch had to be omitted and the two record calibration potentiometers are installed in its place.

VU Meter Level

VU calibration is effected on the DOLBY playback board. The calibration controls in the A77 record amplifiers are disabled.

DIN 19 S (70 µsec) Standard Test Tape issue 1970, No. 5608 was used as the frequency response reference. An Ampex Test Tape (Nov. 71) was used as a level reference.

To obtain the correct frequency response the following correction factors were used (70 µsec, to 50/3180 µsec).

40 Hz + 3,6 dB
60 + 1,8
125 + 0,1
250 - 0,4

The DIN Standard Test Tape was used because the Ampex tape contains different frequencies and it does not extend beyond 15 kHz.

2-Track Version (values for the 4-Track Version are shown in parenthesis)

Signal to Noise Ratio, off tape, weighted as per CCIT:

At 7 1/2 ips. better than 67 dB (65 dB) At 3 3/4 ips. better than 64 dB (62 dB)

Weighted as per ASA A:

At 7 1/2 ips. better than 70 dB (67 dB) At 3 3/4 ips. better than 67 dB (65 dB)

Distortion measured off tape, 500 Hz Peak Level (assumed to be +6 VU)

At 7 1/2 ips. better than 1.0 % (1.5 %) At 3 3/4 ips. better than 1.5 % (2.0 %)

Operating Level 0 dB (100 %):

At 7 1/2 ips. better than 0.5 % (0.5 %) At 3 3/4 ips. better than 0.5 % (1.0 %)

All other performance data are identical with the data for the standard version of the A77 recorder.
