SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY
CHECK
AFTER
SERVICING
Confirm
the
specified
insulation
resistance
between
power
cord
plug
prongs
and
externally
exposed
parts
of
the
set
is
greater
than
10
Mohms,
but
for
equipment
with
external
antenna
terminals
(tuner,
receiver,
etc.)
and
is
intended
for
or
[A],
specified
insulation
resistance
should
be
more
than
2.2
Mohms
(ground
terminals,
microphone
jacks,
headphone
jacks.
line-in-out
jacks
etc.)
PRECAUTIONS
DURING
SERVICING
1.
OoOr~ID
Parts
identified
by
the
A\
symbol
parts
are
critical
for
safety.
Replace
only
with
parts
number
specified.
In
addition
to
safety,
other
parts
and
assemblies
are
specified
for
conformance
with
such
regulations
as
those
applying
to
spurious
radiation.
These
must
also
be
replaced
only
with
specified
replacements.
Examples:
RF
converters,
tuner
units,
antenna
selector
switches,
RF
cables,
noise
blocking
capacitors,
noise
blocking
filters,
etc.
Use
specified
internal
wiring.
Note
especially:
1)
Wires
covered
with
PVC
tubing
2)
Double
insulated
wires
3)
High
voltage
leads
Use
specified
insulating
materials
for
hazardous
live
parts.
Note
especially:
1)
Insulation
Tape
2)
PVC
tubing
3)
Spacers
(Insulating
Barriers)
4)
Insulation
sheets
for
transistors
When
replacing
AC
primary
side
components
(transformers,
power
cords,
noise
blocking
capacitors,
etc.),
wrap
ends
of
wires
securely
about
the
terminals
before
soldering.
c>
c>
Observe
that
wires
do
not
contact
heat
producing
parts
(heatsinks,
oxide
metal
film
resistors,
fusible
resistors,
etc.).
Check
that
replaced
wires
do
not
contact
sharp
edged
or
pointed
parts.
Also
check
areas
surrounding
repaired
locations.
Use
care
that
foreign
objects
(screws,
solder
droplets,
etc.)
do
not
remain
inside
the
set.

OUTLINE
Doiby
C-type
is
to
improve
the
noise
reducing
effect
of
the
usual
Dolby
B-type.
The
B-type
has
the
NR
effect
of
10
dB
at
5
kHz
or
more
but
C-type
has
the
NR
effect
of
20
dB
at
1
kHz
or
more.
Fig.
8
shows
the
audible
curve
of
man
at
low
level
and
the
noise
level
of
the
cassette
tape.
In
the
bands
of
about
200
Hz
or
lower
and
of
10
kHz
or
higher
the
hiss
noise
of
the
tape
is
not
heard.
On
the
contrary,
in
the
range
of
200
Hz
to
10
kHz
the
noise
is
apt
to
be
heard.
For
this
reason,
the
hiss
noise
of
the
tape
is
reduced
by
getting
the
encode
charac-
teristic
closer
to
the
audible
curve
as
shown
in
Fig.
9.
Since
the
difference
at
this
time
between
the
noise
level
and
the
audible
curve
is
about
20
dB,
C-type
sets
the
noise
reduction
amount
at
20
dB.
For
the
high
band
(more
than
10
kHz)
the
NR
amount
is

CIRCUIT
COMPOSITION
Fig.
10
shows
a
simple
block
diagram
at
the
time
of
encoding.
In
Dolby
system,
the
NR
amount
per
one
processor
is
specified
at
10
dB
maximum.
This
is
because
as
the
compression
amount
increases,
the
possibility
of
side
effect
(dynamic
error,
etc.)
increases.
Therefore,
the
C-type
uses
two
processors
with
the
NR
amount
of
10
dB
each,
one
as
high
level
stage
and
another
as
low
level
stage.
By
providing
these
two
processors
with
different
operational
regions,
the
overlapping
of
dynamic
operation
is
prevented,
one
operating
the
linear
operation,
and
therefore,
as
a
whole,
it
is
the
compression
operation
of
one
10 dB
processor,
but
20
dB
effect
is
obtained.
Each
processor
uses
the
sliding
band
system
and
dual
pass
system
as
in
the
case
of
B-type.
The
input
signal
is
separated
into
the
Main
Pass
and
Side
Chain,

Operational
Region
of
each
Processor
one
signal
is
just
outputted
via
the
Main
Pass
and
another
signal
going
through
the
Side
Chain
is
produced
separately
as
the
noise
reduction
signal
and
added
to
the
output.
For
this
reason,
the
NR
signal
component
included
in
the
output
signal
can
be
kept
to
minimum..
Fig.
11
shows
the
operational
region
of
each
processor.
As
one
major
feature,
the
C-type
can
improve
the
high
frequency
characteristic.
Man’s
audio
sensitivity
decreases
a
lot
at
10
kHz
or
higher,
and
this
means
that
NR
amount
in
this
band
can
be
relatively
small.
For
this
reason,
the
C-type
has
two
additional
circuits,
spectral-skewing
circuit
and
antisaturation
network.
In
the
spectral-skewing,
the
NR
operation
of
more
than
10
kHz
is
weighted
by
the
LC
circuit
of
12
dB/oct. and
reverse
compensation
is
made
at
the
time
of
decoding,
and
the
high
frequency
linearity
is
improved
to
the
extent
that
the
compression
amount
is
reduced.
The
anti-saturation
network
has
a
func-
tion
to
reduce
the
Rec
level
by
about
3
dB
for
the
high
level
high
frequency
signal
only,
and
the
distor-
tion
rate
in
high
band
is
improved.
3.
CIRCUIT
OPERATION
Fig.
12
(a)
shows
the
basic
NR
circuit
structure
of
Dolby
C-type.
The
encoder
and
decoder
of
C-type
respectively
consist
of
two
stages
(two
Dolby
B-type
processors
with
the
external
constant
changed)
called
high
level
stage
and
low
level
stage.
In
recording,
the
input
signal
enters
the
high
level
stage
via
amplifier
(A1),
spectral
skewing
circuit,
MPX
filter
and
amplifier
(B1).
Then,
like
B-type,
the
signal
is
separated
into
the
main
pass
route
and
side
chain
route.
In
the
main
pass
route,
the
signal
just
goes
to
the
adder
(EK),
and
in
the
side
chain
route,
only
middle
and
high
fre-
quency
signals
of
low
level
are
passed
by
the
variable
filter.
Then,
the
output
from
the
side
chain
route
is
combined
by
the
adder
(EK)
with
the
signal
of
the
main
pass
route
to
obtain
the
1st
encode
(compres-
sion)
characteristic,
and
in
the
low
level
stage,
too,
the
stressed
signal
from
middle
to
high
frequency
(10
dB
in
the
vicinity
of
1.5
kHz)
is
sent
to
the
next
low
level
stage.
The
operation
in
the
high
level
stage
is
similar
to
that
of
B-type
except
when
the
turnover
frequency
of
the
encode
characteristic
is
on
a
lower
side
(below
2
octave).

Encode
Characteristics
of
Dolby
B-type
and
C-type
in
low
level
The
signal
inputted
into
the
next
low
level
stage
is
again
separated
into
the
main
pass
route
and
the
side
chain
route,
and
the
2nd
encoding
is
carried
out.
The
encode
characteristic
in
the
low
level
stage
is
same
as
the
characteristic
of
the
high
level
stage
except
that
its
compression
starting
level
(threshold
level)
is
lower,
and
as
a
result,
the
signal
stressed
by
about
20
dB
from
middle
to
high
frequency
of
the
low
level
appears
at
the
output
terminal.
Figs.
13,
14
and
15
show
the
input/output
character-
istic,
encode
characteristic
and
encode
characteristics
of
B-type
and
C-type
in
low
level,
respectively.
As
shown
in
Figs.
13
to
15,
C-type
is
limiting
the
high
frequency
when
recording.
This
is
done
by
the
spectral
skewing
circuit
provided
in
the
encoder
input
and
by
the
antisaturation
circuit.
The
skewing
circuit
prevents
the
processing
error
by
deemphasizing
the
frequency
of
10
kHz
or
more
which
is
unstable
for
the
cassette
deck
and
by
reducing
the
noise
reducing
operation.
As
a
result,
the
signal
modulation
due
to
the
high
frequency
component
can
be
prevented.
The
antisaturation
network
operates
only
on
the
large
amplitude
signals
of
more
than
2
kHz
and
reduces
the
high
frequency
saturation
of
the
tape.
These
are
completely
complementary
in
the
encoder
and
decoder
and
make
possible
the
MOL
improve-
ment
of
about
8
dB
at
15
kHz.
In
decoding,
the
side
chain
route
is
combined
in
opposite
phase
with
the
main
pass
route
and
the
characteristic
opposite
to
that
of
the
recording
is
obtained.
The
high
frequency
signal
limitation
by
the
skewing
circuit
and
anti-
saturation
circuit
is
released
in
decoding.
C-type
can
be
easily
switched
to
B-type,
and
to
use
it
as
B-type,
switch
off the
encode
(or
decode)
of
the
low
level
stage
and
change
the
constant
of
the
high
level
stage
(to
make
encode
or
decode
characteristic).
At
that
time,
switch
off
the
skewing
circuit
and
antisaturation
circuit.
