.THE

TECHNICS

SH.9O38 PROGRAMMABLE

UNIT

The Technics

SH-9038

¡s

a

m¡crocomputer-controlled

programmable

unit

in

which

the

built-in

microcomputer

automat¡cally

controls

as many

as

32

programmed

in_

structions

during

a

one-week

period.

Unl¡ke the

convent¡onal

audio

timer-which

can

merely

be

set

for

one

on/off

operation

each

day-this

programmable

unit

can be

set

in

advance

to

perform

the instructed

oper-

ations

on

specific

days

during

the week

ahead (or

every

day)

at the

specified

time(s)

(programmable

in

segments

of one minute

each)

with

respect

to

any one

or more

of as

many

as I

preset

broadcast

stations,

and

in

conjunction

with

as many

as

4 connected

components (tuner,

amplifier,

tape

deck,

etc.)..with

a total

of

32

possible

pre-set

instructions possible

during

the next

7

days.

The Technics

SH-9038 is

the audio

component

which

has

introduced

the

"Micom"

(microcomputer)-a

device

which

because

of ¡ts extremely

compact

size and

precise

operation

has

such a variety

of

possible

uses-to

the aud¡o

world.

ln

order to real¡ze

the

maximum

versat¡lity

of

performance

of

which

this

unit is

capable,

it

should

be used

with

the

Technics

model

ST-9038

quartz-synthesizer

tuner

developed

espec¡ally

to be

a

part

of this

series

of high-quality

audio

com

ponents.

FM

MEMORY FUNCTION

PERMITS

PRESETTING

OF AS MANY

AS

8 BROADCAST

STATIONS

By

using

this unit

in

combination

with

the

Technics

model

ST-9038

tuner, as many

as I broadcast

stat¡ons

can

be

preset

into

the

"memory"

of this unit.

When

the

programming-mode

selector

of this

un¡t is

set

to

the

"FM

memory"

pos¡tion

and the

broadcast

station

is

tuned (on

the Technics

ST-9038)

and

preset

on this

unit, any

desired

stat¡on can

thereaJter

be selected

by a

single

touch.

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR

A

WEEK

PERIOD

As many

as

32 operat¡on

instruct¡ons

can

be

programmed

("written")

into the

unit's memory

for

subsequent

auto-

matic

operation during

the following

7

days.

When

the days, times,

broadcast

stations

and

onioff

operations

of other

components

(tuner,

amplifier,

tape

deck,

etc.) connected

to the

AC

outlets

of

this

un¡t are

programmed,

the

operation of

all components

(Technics

tuner,

amplifier,

and

other

equipment

connected

to the

AC1

and

AC2

outlets) witt

be

controlled

fully

auto-

mat¡cally,

including

automatic

selection

of the

model

5ï-9038 tuner.

AUTOMATIC

OR

MANUAL OPERATION

When

the

programming-mode

selector

is

set

to the

,,auto"

position,

this

unit

will

automatically

control

the operat¡on

of the

complete

audio

system

as

programmed.

At

the

"manual"

pos¡tion,

the

station

selection

and

AC

line

on/off

operations

can

be

performed

manually,

re-

gardless

of the

programmed

instructions.

When

the

programming-mode

selector

is

set to the

,,auto,'

position,

however,

note

that

any

desired

manual

operation

is.

possible

for

time

periods

for

which

the un¡t has not

been

programmed

to

operate,

but

pre-programmed

operat¡ons

will

automatically

begin

when

scheduled,

taking

pr¡ority

over the

manual

operation

in

progress,

if any. Thus

the

microcomputer

will

faithfully

execute any

and all

pre-

progra.mmed

commands,

even if

you

happen

to be listening

to

another

FM

broadcast

than

that

programmed.

lt never

forgets,

even

if

you

do.

EXTREMELY

Th¡s

un¡t includeS

a time

display

which

is

synchron¡zed

with

the

power

supply

frequency

in

order

to

assure

an

extremely

small

degree

of error.

The

day

of

the week

is

indicated

by

a series

of LED indicators,

and

the

hour

and

minute

by

an

electronic

digital

display.

The correct

time

can

be

set very

easily

by

using

three

pushbuttons

(day,

hour

and minute).

lt ¡s

also

poss¡ble_by

setting the

time-mode

selector

to the

,,clock"

position

when

a rad¡o, TV

or

telephone

time

s¡gnal is

heard-to

set

the

unit to

the

precise

second.

RECORDING

TIME

OR

TAPE-REMAINING

TIME

The

time

display

can

be used

to

give

an elasped-time

readout

of as much

as

59 minutes

and

59 seconds

after

start of operation.

After

t

hour has

elapsed,

the

reádout

returns

to

00:00 and

the

time

count

continues.

Note

that

this

unit

also incorporates

a

,,hold,'

function

which

can

be

convenienily

used

to stop

the time

count

temporarily

while

the

tape

deck

is in

the

,,pause"

mode,

thus

making

it

easy

to calculate

time

of

tape remaining.

OTHER

FEATURES

This

model

has

the same

slim,

d¡e-cast

cabinet

as the

Technics

model

ST-9038

tuner for

excellent

shielding

effect,

preventing

interference

to other

components,

and

also

shutt¡ng

out

external

signals

from interfering

with

micro-
