AC:
If
these
terminals
are
employed,
the
input
signal
passes
through
a
filter
having
a
cut-off
frequency
of
18
Hz
and
a
slope
of
6dB/oct,
which
results
in
a
reduction
of

such
as
that
encountered
with

thus
protecting
the
speakers.
DIRECT:
These
input
terminals
are
directly
connected
to
the
power
amplification
circuit.
Since
the
M-7050
employes
DC
amplifier
circuitry,
there
is
no
coupling
capacitor
between
the
input
circuit
and
the
power
amplification
stages.
Protective
circuit
When
the
protective
circuit
has
been
activated,
switch
off
the
power
and
determine
the
cause
as
follows:
The
speaker
load
impedance
Using
speakers
with
an
impedance
of
less
than
4
ohms
(or
a
short
circuit
across
the
speaker
terminals)
activates
the
protective
circuit
and
results
in
intermittent
sound
out-
put.
When
the
speaker
switch
is
at
the
“1
and
2”
position,
use
a
pair
of
speakers
having
an
impedance
of
8
or
high-
er,
at
“1”
or
“’2”
position,
use
a
speaker
of
4
or
higher.
Input
overload
The
speaker
produces
intermittent
sounds.
Detecting
the
offset
voltage
The
offset
voltage
of
+2
V
or
more,
activates
the
pro-
tective
circuit
and
results
in
no
sound
output.

TECHNICAL
DESCRIPTION
Super
A
power
amplifier
A
big
problem
has
remained
unsolved
in
the
progress
regarding
amplifier
technology:
how
can
class-A
operation
be
made
compatible
with
high
power
efficiency?
The
class-A
operation
is
best
in
terms
of
low
distortion;
its
critical
drawback
is
such
that
its
power
loss
is
greater
than
the
available
output
power.
Because
of
this,
class-B
amplifiers
have
generally
been
applied
for
power
amplification
because
they
offer
both
acceptable
distortion
and
power
efficiency.
However,
as
long
as
class-B
amplifiers
are
employed,
the
occurrence
of
crossover
distor-
tion
and
switching
distortion
is
inevitable.
Although
the
improvements
of
circuit
elements
have
realized
fairly
good
class-B
amplifiers,
when
their
values
of
distortion
are
referred
to,
the
‘‘nature”
of
distortion
is
still
detrimental
to
the
re-
produced
sound
quality.
To
solve
this
problem
by
improving
circuit
technology,
JVC
has
developed
its
new
‘’Super-A”’
power
amplifier.
The
Super-A
power
amplifier
consists
of
a
voltage
amplifier
stage
whose
distortion
is
minimized
by
compensating
for
the
non-linearity
of
semiconductors,
and
aclass-A
power
amplifier
stage
which
includes
a
bias
circuit
for
raising
the
power
effi-
ciency
to
such
a
degree
as
is
comparable
to
that
of
a
class-B
amplifier.
JVC’s
Super-A
power
amplifier
offers
the
following
features:
1)
Power
efficiency
is
extremely
high
despite
the
class-A
operation,
greatly
reducing
power
loss
and
heat
generation
compared
with
conventional
class-A
amplifiers.
2)
Switching
distortion
inherent
in
class-B
operation
is
com-
pletely
eliminated;
it
is
perfectly
zero.
3)
AVecE

as
described
above.
Fig.

shows
a
variation
of
the

capacity
Cop
in

lation

This
non-linear
variation
of
Cop
due
to
varia-
tions
of
VCE
causes
a
non-linear
variation
of
the
amplifier
gain,
leading
to
the
A
Cob
distortion
mentioned
above.
Fig.
6
shows
operating
characteristics
of
a
common-base
transistor.
What
is
noteworthy
about
this
type
of
operation
is
that,
though
its
current
gain
is
O
dB,
its
output
linearity
in
constant-
current
drive
is
fairly
good
since
a
scarcely
varies
with
varia-
tions
of
VcE
(a=
1)
as
shown
by
the
equal
distance
between
adjacent
base
current
curves.
An
example
of
the
cascode-connected
amplifier
circuit
is
shown
in
Fig.
7.
The
features
of
this
circuit
are
good
frequ-
ency
response
(because
of
no
mirror
effect
due
to
Cob)
and
high
output
impedance.
This
means
that
this
circuit
eliminates
distortion
by
effectively
combining
the
advantages
of
common-emitter
and
base-emitter
configurations.
The
driver
stage
of
the
Super-A
power
amplifier
employs
an
applied
circuit
of
this
kind
and
a
drastic
reduction
in
distoriton
is
the
result.

SUPER-A
block
The
SUPER-A
bias
circuit
is
made
into
a
single
block
to
maintain
performance
including
temperature
characteris-
tics.
Trouble
occurring
in
the
SUPER-A
block
is
rarely
independent
of
other
stages.
Defects
of
a
stage
usually
affects
the
preceding
stage
adversely
and
finally
the
SUPER-A
block
suffers.
Starting
from
the
final
stage,
replace
defective
transistors.
When
‘the
stages
work
well,
check
the
SUPER-A
block
by
the
following
procedure.
(Refer
to
‘4.
Check
after
repair’’
for
the
sequence
of
turning
on
power.)
1)
Measure
the
voltage
developing
between
terminals
701
and
709
(X013’s
collector
and
test
point
F)
or
terminals
705
and
709
(X013’s
emitter
and
test
point
F)
using
a
multimeter
set
in
the
“1V
AC”
range.
Normally
it
reads
OV
when
no
signal
is
delivered
and
about
0.6V
for
the
1kHz
rated
output
(into
an
8-ohm
load).
The
SUPER-A
block
is
in
trouble
if
the
reading
is
greater
than
1V.
Check
the
R-channe!
in
the
same
way.
(In
the
R-channel,
check
voltage
between
X014
and
test
point
A.)
2)
Setting
the
multimeter
in
a
DC
range,
check
voltage
between
terminals
703
and
707
(X805's
emitter
and
X807's
emitter).
Normally
the
reading
varies
from
3.8V
to
4.3V
when
the
level
of
1kHz
input
signal
is
varied
from
zero
to
the
rated
output
(into
8-ohm
load).
The
SUPER-A
block
is
in
trouble
if
the
read-
ing
does
not
vary.
Replace
the
SUPER-A
block
as
a
unit
in
that
case.
Check
the
R-Channel
in
the
same
way.
(In
the
R-channel,
check
voltage
between
X806
and
X808.)
Check
after
repair
1)
Unplug
the
red,
white,
and
black
wires
of
TPS-
226.
(The
wires
connect
to
a
large
electrolytic
capacitor.)
Now
the
final
stage
is
not
supplied
with
power.
2)
Apply
1-kHz
signal
of
approximately
-—30dB
{30mV)
to
the
input
terminal.
Connect
an
oscillo-
scope
to
test
points
A
and
F
to
monitor
waveform.
3)
Start
supplying
power.
(If
a
varying-voltage
power
transformer
is
available,
you
can
raise
the
voltage
gradually
while
watching
the
waveform
on
the
oscilloscope
to
secure
safety.)
4)
If
you
see
the
waveform
shown
in
Fig.
19,
the
stages
up
to
the
driver
work
well.
(At
this
time
no
voltage
is
applied
to
the
final
stage
and
the
power
transistor
is
working
as
a
diode.)
Up
to
now
we
assume
that
the
final-stage
power
transistor
is
intact.
Confirm
in
advance
that
the
power
transistor
is
not
defective
after
disconnecting
it
from
the
circuit
board.
If
the
power
transistor
is
shorted
between
its
base
and
emitter,
the
drive
stage
will
be
shorted
and
damaged
(you
will
see
no
wave-
form).
Caution:
Never
connect
a
dummy
!oad
up
to
step
4:
the
drive
stage
will
be
overloaded
and
damaged.

Fig.
10.
5)
If
the
wrong
waveform
is
detected,
vary
the
input
voltage
from
OV
up
gradually
and
check
waveform
in
varying
voltage
ranges
of
the
oscilloscope.
if
the
right
waveform
is
not
obtained
yet,
check
transistors
and
resistors
in
the
circuits
using
a
multimeter.
The
resistors
marked
with
A\
in
the
circuit
diagram
are
liable
to
disconnection.
MEMO
RUNDOM
6)
When
the
waveform
of
Fig.
10
is
detected,
stop
supplying
power
and
plug
the
wires
into
the
sockets
of
TPS-226.
Then
start
supplying
power
while
you
monitor
waveform
at
the
test
points
with
the
input
voltage
kept
applied.
Do
not
connect
any
dummy
load
yet.
Normally
you
will
see
sine
waves
on
the
oscilloscope.
Carry
out
the
above
steps
for
both
channels.
At
this
time
the
output
voltage
exceeds
35V.
For
safety,
you
can
raise
the
voltage
gradually,
if
a
varying-voltage
power
transformer
is
available,while
you
watch
the
waveform.
Connect
a
dummy
load.
Normally
the
output
level
is
approximately
35V
over
an
8-ohm
load
(150W)
when
both
channels
are
driven
with
1-kHz
input
signal.
Even
if
the
SUPER-A
block
is
defective,
the
ampli-
fier
will
operate
in
class
B.
In
this
case,
check
the
SUPER-A
block
referring
to
‘3,
SUPER-A
block”’.
Referring
to
“Adjustment”
(page
13),
check
idling
current,
voltages
at
test
points,
voltage
gain,
and
frequency
response,
etc.
