In the case of a surround signal, the
output of IC8c is high. Since one
output of IC8d is at +8 V, both in-
puts of this XOR are then high, so
that its output is low. This results
in the red segment of D6 lighting.
In the case of a centre signal, pin 12
of IC8d is low, so that its output is
high, resulting in the green segment
of D 6 lighting. In practice, the
changes between the signal are
so rapid that the LED shows a
fluent transition from red to green
and back to red again.
The power supply provides three
different voltages. The secondary
of the mains transformer is con-
nected to K 3. The 12 V input,
after rectification and smoothing,
results in a symmetrical supply of
±16 V, which is used to power
output amplifiers IC10 and IC11.
From the ±16 V lines, voltage
regulators IC12 and IC13 derive a
supply of ±8 V, which is used to
power the remainder of the circuit.
The 12 V line for the relay is
taken directly from K3 and recti-
fied by D8-D9.
Construction
The processor is best constructed
on the PCB illustrated in F i g . 6.
Since this board is double sided and
through-plated, it is not possible
to make it without special tools
and equipment.
