(2) Block Description
1) ATT (Attenuation)
Line amp is shared between PB mode and E/E mode, which reduces the recorded signal by 20dB and resister.
2) ALC (Auto Level Control)
If the signal level is lower than the reference signal (-6dBm) level, the output signal will equal the input signal.
However, if the input signal is higher than the reference signal, the output will not equal the input and will gen
erate uniform signal.
* ALC Application Purpose : Since linear audio is in AM (amplitude modulation) and uses magnetic recording
device, it only records limited size and as the size of input signal increases, distortion increases. To prevent
this occurance, mark sure the signal does not get bigger even if the level of distortion repodly increases.
3) LINE AMP
Line amp’s gain is approximately 23dB. The purpose of the line amp is to amplify to 68dB in order to obtain the
recorded signal on the tape during playback. As the amp gain increases, the passband decreases, which enables
the amplification of low frequency. However, it is impossible to amplify frequency of 10KHz to 68dB with just
1 OPAMP. Therefore, to satisfy frequency and gain.
Line amp must be constructed into 2 steps of OP AMP. (gain is fixed within IC)
4) 12KHz LPF
There are various noises to signal output. The loudest noise is the “Video SYNC Frequency” of 15.734KHz
In order to eliminate the “Video SYNC Frequency”, “LPF” and “TRAP” are combined to “LPF”.
