(1) 
Functions 
a) Input Selector Control 
This microcomputers 
is 
capable 
of 
controlling 
analog switch TC9I64N that serves 
as 
the 
input selector. Three input systems that include 
PHONO. 
CD. 
and TUNER. and two monitoring 
systems that include TAPE I 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 convener, and sets 
the electronic potentiometer 
in 
accordance with 
the read dat
a. 
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 
lev
el 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) 
Co
ntrol 
Operates the tone control potentiometer 
(TC9156P) 
in 
2dB steps up 
to 
a maximum 
of 
±I0dB. 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 
Co
ntrol Safety Function 
With 
the touch control operated direct access 
sound 
vo
lume system that enables the instant 
setting 
of 
any prefer
red 
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 been 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 
(A 
I007T) for the tuner that 
is 
outp
ut 
as 
soon 
as 
the tuner 
has 
been operated.

• Continuous depressions 
will 
be 
accepted first at 24 
msec after the depression start, second at 500 msec 
after the first, and then at every I

All 
multiple depressions shall be inhibited. Once a
