General Description 
(1) Functions 
a) Input Selec.tor Control 
This 
microcomputers 
is 
capable 
of 
controlling 
analog switch TC9164N that 
serves 
as 
the 
input selector. Three input systems that.include 
PHONO, 
CD, 
and TUNER, and t,vo monitoring 
systems that include TAPE 1 
and. 
TAPE 2 may 
be 
controlled. 
b) Direct 
Access 
Volume Control 
Reads voltages detected out 
of 
the sound-volume 
touch control through an A/D converter, and sets 
the electronic potentiometer in accordance with 
the read data. In this process, any designated 
setting 
will 
be 
reached from the earlier potentio-
meter position by fading 
in 
or out. 
c) Balance Control 
By 
setting various level differences between 
Leh 
and Reh on the main control, up to a maximum 
of 
30dB 
L-R 
level offsets may be created. 
d) Tone (BASS/TREBLE) Control 
Operates the tone control potentiometer 
(TC9156P) 
in 
2dB steps up to a maximum 
of 
±lOdB, and thereby performs 
as 
an electronically 
.controlled tone circuit. · 
f) Acoustic Pattern Storage 
By 
this function,. stores in.the microcomputer two 
patterns 
of 
.the tone 
control 
circuit settings, and 
enables the instant loading 
of 
either 
of 
the 
stored 
patterns. 
g) 
Volume Control Safety Function 
With 
the touch control operated direct access 
. sound volume system that· enables 
_the 
instant 
setting 
of 
any preferred sound volume level, the 
danger exists that the inadvertent touch 
of 
a 
higher position 
of 
the control will cause a sudden 
emission 
of 
unexpectedly high sounds from speak-
ers.· A time lag measure in the form 
of 
fade-in's 
has beeri provided 
to 
enable coping with the 
above danger, but 
as 
an 
added and positive precau-
tion, this safety function has been added on that 
suppresses 
all 
sounds louder than a 
level 
set in 
advance. 
h) TUNER Direct Function. 
This·function will set the input selector at TUNER 
upon receiving data from the microcomputer. 
(Al007T) for the tuner that 
is 
output 
as 
soon 
as 
the tuner has been operated.

Key Processings

[PHONO], 
[CD] 
Sets the input selector (TC9164N) for either 
of 
the 
input modes keyed in, and makes due indications for 
it. Nothing, however, will occur when the depressed 
key mode has already been engaged. . 
When 
either TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 has been keyed on, 
the displays for a tape monitored input will be 
flashed on and 
off 
for 10 times at a 1/2 duty and 
once every second, to alert the operator 
of 
the 
ongoing tape monitoring. 
In 
addition, when serial 
data 
is 
being transferred to the analog switch, the
