These meters allow you to read out the rated power level when speakers with a nominal impedance of 8 ohms are connected to the receiver's speaker terminals. NOTE. ‘These values are related to the impedance of the speakers and they vary according to the frequency. In order to find out the exact output level, connect an 8-ohm dummy load instead of the speakers. POWER SWITCH —__________ Set this switch to ON to supply power to the receiver ‘There will be a short delay when it is set to ON, because the muting circuit has been actuated to suppress the un: pleasant noise that is sometimes generated when the power is switched on and off. PHONES JACK Plug the headphones into this jack when you want to listen through your stereo headphones. Release both SPEAKERS buttons if you want to listen to the sound through your headphones only (This means that both buttons will be released) SPEAKERS swiTcHes | Depress the button corresponding to the speakers con: nected to the SPEAKERS terminals (A or B) on the rear panel. You can depress both of these buttons to listen to sound from two pairs of speaker systems at the same time. BASS AND TREBLE CONTROLS When turned clockwise from the OFF position, the response in the bass or treble range, respectively, is boosted. Turning counterclockwise attenuates the re- sponse. At the OFF position the tone control circuit is bypassed and frequency response is fat TAPE MONITOR INDICATOR With either of the TAPE MONITOR switches set to ON, the TAPE MONITOR indicator lights up. This lamp indicates the receiver is monitoring or playing back the tape on the tape deck connected to the TAPE jacks. SOURCE INDICATOR, With either of the TAPE MONITOR switches set to OFF, the SOURCE indicator lights up. This lamp indicates the receiver is playing the program source; AM broadcast, FM broadcast, record on the turntable, or another com: ponent connected to the AUX jacks. LOW FILTER SWITCH When this switch is set to 15Hz, a 6dB/oct attenuation ‘can be provided for frequencies below 15Hz. This means that you can cancel out noise in the ultra-low frequencies which is generated by low-pitched rumble from a turn: table and other forms of distortion. Although this noise cannot be heard, it can generate intermodulation distor tion and damage the speakers. FM MUTING SWITCH ———__—_—_—— When this switch is set to the upper position (On), the FM muting function acts to suppress unpleasant inter- station noise while tuning between the FM broadcasting stations. When the switch is set to the OFF position, the FM muting function does not act, thus enabling suitable reception of weak radio stations. DIAL POINTER This pointer indicates the broadcasting stations, STEREO INDICATOR ‘This indicator lights up when the receiver is tuned in to receive stereo broadcast. AM/FM TUNING METER | When tuning in to FM stations, position the meter pointer in the center of FM area for optimum reception. In the case of AM stations, tune for maximum meter deflection toward the right of the scale. FUNCTION SWITCH Use this switch to select the program source. For a second after the switch is selected, no sound will be heard. This is due to the operation of the muting circuit, which can suppress the unpleasant switching noise generated when the FUNCTION switch is elected. AM: When listening to AM broadcasting FM: When listening to FM broadcasting, The STEREO indicator lights up when the receiver is tuned in to an FM stereo broadcast. PHONO: When playing a record on the turntable con: nected to the PHONO jacks, AUX: — When listening to an audio component con: nected to the AUX jacks. TUNING KNOB Use this knob to tune in to broadcasting stations. Select the station and tune for optimum reception by ‘observing the dial scale and the AM/FM tuning meter VOLUME CONTROL Use this control to adjust the output level to the speakers and headphones. Turn it clockwise to increase the output level. No sound will be heard if you set to MIN. LOUDNESS SWITCH Set this switch to ON when listening at a low volume. The frequency response of the human ear varies according to the listening volume, and setting this switch to the ON position compensates for hearing response by emphasizing the bass and treble. BALANCE CONTROL Use this control to balance the volume of the left and right channels. First, however, set the MODE switch to MONO. If the sound appears to be louder on the right, it ‘means that the volume of the right channel is higher. Turn the BALANCE control to the left and adjust. Conversely, if the sound appears to be louder on the left it means that the volume of the left channel is higher. Therefore, turn the BALANCE control to the right and adjust. After ad- justing, return the MODE switch to STEREO. TAPE MONITOR SWITCH (1, 2) Set switch 1 to ON with a tape deck which is connected to the TAPE 1 jacks (REC and PLAY) when you want to monitor the playback or recording of a tape, The tape on a deck which is connected to the TAPE 2 jacks (REC and PLAY) can be similarly monitored by setting switch 2 to ON. NOTE: ‘Set the switches to the upper (OFF) position when listening to records or broodcasts. ‘_mopE swiTcH Use this switch for selecting mono or stereo performances. STEREO: Set to this position for normal stereo opera tion, MONO: When set to this position, the left and right channel signals will be mixed and repro- duced monophonically from both speaker systems. 0 3.

TUNER SECTION AM Tuner (Fig. 1) ‘The tuner employs a 2-gang tuning capacitor, one IC (HA1197) and one AM ceramic filter. See page 24 for details of the internal structure of HA1197 which contains a Lstage RF amplifier, converter, 2-stage IF amplifier, detector, and AGC ireuit. Qo of the output circuit is a special AM muting circuit. This circuit is operated until the ‘AM tuner stabilizes immediately after the FUNC- TION switch has been set to the AM position, +B is supplied to Rys, thru C.,, and the base of Qi is, forward biased. Concequently, Qio is tumed on, and the AM output signal is shorted to ground during the time constant of Cra, Res FUNCTION of o - ANT. our Te scCHALIS7) wren Fig. 1. AM tuner circuit FM Front end ‘The FM front end consists of a 3-ganged tuning capacitor, a dual-gate MOS FET equipped 1-stage RF amplifier, a local oscillator and a mixer. The output of the local oscillator (a modified Clapp circuit employing a single transistor) is applied to the base of the mixer transistor. IF Amplifier and Detector ‘Three dual element ceramic filters are used as the selection elements, and one IC (HA1201) containing one differential amplifier and one FM IF IC (PA3001-A) are used as the amplification elements. The HA1201 compensates for the fil- ter insertion loss, and also limits the amplitude of the FM signal. ‘The PA3001-A performs IF amplification, am- plitude limiting and FM detection. It also drives the TUNING meter and controls muting. See the block diagram on page 24 for the internal structure of this IC. ‘Multiplex Decoder ‘The sub-carrier generator (PLL system), NFB demodulator, automatic pilot canceller, and stereo/mono automatic switch are also built in an IC (PA1001-A). With the addition of a few CR elements, a multiplex decoder of high S-N ratio and low distortion has been achieved (Again refer to page 24 for further details of this IC). ‘A major feature of the PA1001-A is the automatic pilot canceller. This circuit detects the level of the 19ktz pilot signal, and automatically adjusts to that level to cancel out the pilot signal completely. ‘This has made the designing of the low-pass filter in the following stage very much easier, and has further extended the frequency response at the high end. ‘The output signal from the multiplex decoder is passed on via the deemphasis circuit and AF amplifier (which serves as both low-pass filter and crosstalk canceller) to the FM muting gate. it connected to the output of the FM tuner serves as a muting circuit which eliminates unwanted FUNCTION selector switch- ing noise and FM interstation noise. This muting circuit is shown in Fig. 2 ‘At more than approximately +70kHz detuning or low input level (less than 104V antenna input), a DC voltage is produced at pin 12 of the FM IF IC (PA3001-A). At this time, if the FM MUTING switch is set to ON, pin 12 is connected to Qs base through Roi, Qsy comes on. As a result, the potential at point A will drop, followed by the FETs (Qz4, Qao) being tumed off. When the FUNCTION selector switch is at AUX, PHONO or AM position, Qs» will turn on due to +B being applied to its base via the FUNCTION switch, and FETs (Qzs, Qo) being tured off. When the FUNCTION switch is changed to the FM position, Qso will tum off due to +B being not applied to its base. The potential at the gate of FETS(Qz5, Q29) will consequently increase (at a speed determined by the Cys, R412 time constant) until FETs are tumed on, and muting condition terminated, 4.2 AUDIO SECTION Phono Equalizer Amplifier ‘This circuit is an NFB-type equalizer amplifier, with one IC (HA1457) in both L and R channels. ‘This IC is a low-noise type, and provide an open- loop gain of 824B. The main performance speci cations for this circuit include a voltage gain of 35.50B (at 1kHz), a phono dynamic margin or overload level of 200mV (RMS, at 1kHz, with 0.05% THD), and PHONO equalization within +£0.34B (20Hz—20kHz), Tone Control Circuit A CR-type tone control circuit is used in this unit. The signal is amplified to the necessary level by the flat amplifier (IC) with a voltage gain of about 31.4aB in front of the control circuit. When the BASS and TREBLE controls are in the center, position, the tone-control networks are automati- cally switched out of the signal path in order to give a perfectly flat frequency response. Power Amplifier (Fig. 3) The first stage consists of a PNP dual-transistor differential amplifier (Q;) which loads the current mirror circuit (Q)) to obtain a high stable gain even in the high-frequency range. The pre-driver stage (Qi1, @13) operates with the constant current, circuit (Qys) as the load, amplifying the voltage to the required level. With a hybrid IC (STK-0050) in the power stage, a power output level of 45W +45W/82. (20H2—20kHz, THD 0.05%) has been ‘obtained. This IC features a Darlington connection complementary circuit power stage integrated with the bias circuit. ‘The purpose of Q, is to equalize temperature changes in Q,. By keeping the input base poten of Q; at a constant OV, the Q; output neutral point potential will remain steady despite changes in temperature. Since this power amplifier is a DC amplifier, any DC voltages appearing at the Q, in- put base will be amplified and passed on to the output.

Fig. 3 Power amplif Protection Circuit (Fig. 4) The protection circuit featured in this equip- ‘ment employs an IC (PA3004) recently developed by Pioneer. This IC includes output DC voltage detection (a), +B voltage level detection (b), ~B voltage level ‘detection (c), AC voltage detection (d), Ct discharge switching (e), relay drive trigger switching (f), and constant current circuitry (g and h). This protection circuit is responsible for muting when the POWER switch is turned ON and OFF, speaker protection in case of an abnormal power amplifier neutral point potential, and speaker dis- connection in case of protection circuit failure due to abnormal voltage in the power supply to the protection circuit IC. ‘* Power Switch Muting ‘The delaying action employed when the POWER switch is turned ON is determined by the time constants of the timing capacitor (Ct) and the con- stant current circuit (g). When the POWER switch is turned ON, +B is passed via (g) to charge up Ct. ‘574-0080 vd DETECTION Te VOLTAGE LEVEL SXx-780 oureur cireuit When fully charged, switch (£) will tum on, and a base current will flow from circuit (h) to Qz., thereby turning the relay on. When the POWER switch is tumed OFF again, the AC voltage disappears immediately, resulting in switch (e) being tumed on by the AC voltage detector (d), thereby discharging Ct. Consequently, switch (£), Qs, and the relay will all be turned off. * Abnormal Power Amplifier Neutral-point Potential ‘The occurrence of any abnormality in the power amplifier neutral-point potential will be detected at (a), resulting in switch (e) being tumed on. Ct will thus be discharged, and switch (f), Que, and the relay all turned off. ‘© Abnormal Protection Circuit Power Voltage The power supply voltage level is detected by detectors (b) and (4).

Consequently, tracking adjustments at 90MHz are performed by regulating the gap between the rotor and stator of the tuning, capacitors (VC,, VC;, VC;). The expression ‘“ad- just VC,” (VC,, VC;) found in the text means that the two outer rotor blades of each of these tuning capacitors are to be extended outwards with spatula (Part No. GGK-066) as shown in Fig. 9.
