FRONT PANEL FACILITIES
@ POWER SWITCH (POWER)
When this switch is set to the ON position, power is supplied
to the unit’s main circuits. The unit’s power switch is geared
to selecting the transformer’s secondary and so, even at the
STAND-BY position, the unit’s circuitry will work as long as
the power cord is connected to the power outlet.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet when you
do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.
©@ POWER ON INDICATOR
This comes on as soon as the RG-60’s power switch is set to
ON to indicate that power is being supplied.
© DYNAMIC EXPANSION METER
This meter allows you to read out the gain boost with respect
to the input signal in decibels. (See ‘‘meter interpretation”
section on page 6.)
© DYNAMIC EXPANSION INDICATORS
The 4 dB, 7 dB, 10 dB, 13 dB and 16 dB indicators light up in
accordance with the position of the dynamic expansion
selector.
@ PROCESSOR SWITCH
Depress this switch (ON) to produce an expansion effect
with the signals fed from the PROCESSOR INPUT jacks. The
dynamic expansion indicator will come on, and signals
featuring an expansion effect only will be fed out from the
model RG-60’s OUTPUT jacks. In the PASS position, the
RG-60 circuitry is bypassed. This position allows for instant
comparison between the expanded and the unprocessed
signais.
NOTE:
When the RG-60’s POWER switch is set to the STAND-BY posi-
tion and the PROCESSOR switch is also set to PASS, the signal
which has bypassed the processor circuitry is made available at the
OUTPUT jacks. There will, however, be no output if the INPUT
LEVEL control is set to the ““-©” position. Make sure that this
control is set to the “0 dB” position.
@ TAPE/VIDEO SOUND MONITOR
INDICATOR
This comes on when the tape/video sound monitor switch is
depressed.
@ TAPE/VIDEO SOUND MONITOR
SWITCH
Depress this switch to monitor the sound on the tape as it is
being recorded or when playing back a tape using a tape
deck connected to the RG-60’s TAPE/VIDEO SOUND jacks
(the tape monitor indicator comes on). Set the switch to off
when not in use.
@ DYNAMIC EXPANSION SELECTOR
This selector selects maximum gain boost value withrespect
to the input level, i.e., the ratio of gain increase beween a
large input signal and a small input signal. Maximum gain
boost increases as the selector is turned clockwise. Set the
selector to the most desirable position while listening to the
reproduced sound.
*Dynamic Expansion
Dynamic expansion is defined as the sum of the downwarl expan-
sion (where small inputs are expanded down) and upwarl @xpan-
sion (where farge inputs are expanded up). For details, refer to
“Technical Outline’ on page 7.
© INPUT LEVEL CONTROL
Use this control to adjust the input level at which thee xpan-
sion effect is initiated. Clockwise rotation increasesthe ex-
pansion with respect to small signal levels (increasestine ex-
pansion sensitivity). Adjust the control for the desire! effect
according to program source.

USING A TAPE DECK
By setting the tape monitor switch on the stereo amplifier to
ON, and the processor switch on the RG-60 to PASS, the
tape/video sound monitor switch on the RG-60 can be
Operated in place of that on the stereo amplifier. The signal at
the RG-60 TAPE REC jacks bypasses the processor.
When Employing the Processor for Tape
Playback
1. Depress the tape/video sound monitor switch (ON).
2. Depress the processor switch (ON).
3. Other operations are the same as described in “OPERA-
TION PROCEDURE”.
FOR

ENJOYMENT
Effect
on
the
music
source.
The
RG-60
increases
the
level
variations
in
the
music
source.
High
level
and
percussive
material
such
as
jazz
and
rock
are
best
played
at
the
dynamic
expansion
selector
settings
of
10,
13
and
16
dB,
while
delicate
music
such
as
instrumental
solos
and
chamber
music
can
be
given
an
unnatural
effect
if
too
much
expansion
is
used,
so
the
4
to
10
dB
settings
are
recom-
mended
for
this
type
of
source.
Other
factors
such
as
room
acoustics
also
affect
the
choice
of
setting,
but,
with
the
range
of

provided,
almost
all

will
benefit
from
the
unique

available
in
this
unit.
Changes in the ambience
The
RG-60
serves
to
expand
the
dynamic
range
of
the
music
source.
Whenever
there
is
a
difference
between
the
levels
of
the
left
and
right
channel
input
signals,
this
difference
is
ex-
panded.
Say,
for
instance,
the
difference
between
the
left
and
right
levels
is
2
dB.
This
is
expanded
to
4
dB
or
6
dB.
This
in
turn
translates
into
a
change
in
the
ambience
of
the
sound
as
heard
by
the
listener.
With
a
music
source
arranged
like
that
in
Fig.

an
interesting
effect
is
obtained
whereby
the
position
of
the
vocalist
at
the
center
moves
to
the
left
and
right
along
with
the
fluctuations
in
the
difference
between
the
left
channel
(bass)
and
right
channel
(piano).

METER INTERPRETATION
The meter indicates the instantaneous maximum dynamic ex-
pansion amount in dB. Maximum meter deflections are 4, 7,
10, 13 and 16 dB according to the dynamic expansion selector
setting. Partial mixing of L and R channel signals casses both
meters to deflect even with only one channel input. However,
the separation does not change with stereo reproduction.

TECHNICAL OUTLINE
The
basic
function
of
the
RG-60
is
to
expand
the
level
varia-
tions
of
the
input
signal
(see
Fig.
5:
input-output
transfer
characteristics).
Due
to
the
expander
circuit
composition,
the
input
and
output
circuits
are
not
necessarily
linear.
The block diagram is shown below. The circuit consists mainly
of a flat frequency response gain control amplifier (GCA) and a
sensor
section
which
produces
the
signal
to
control
the
gain
of
the
gain
control
amplifier.
After
passing
through
the
input
level control and buffer amplifier, a portion of the input signal
goes to the sensor section. At the sensor section, the signal
first passes through an energy distribution filter, which
possesses a slope of ~6 dB/octave above and below a 2.5 kHz
center frequency. This effectively reduces noise components
such
as
motor
rumble,
hum
and
tape
hiss,
yielding
only
the
center frequency component. At the RG detector, a peak
detector
(ripple
cancelling
type)
produces
a
DC
output
propor-
tional to the peak values of the AC input signal. The output
from this RG detector becomes the gain control signa! for the
GCA.
Current from the sensor section determines the open-loop
gain of the gain control amplifier. The gain therefore increases
as
the
control
current
increases
in
accordance
with
the
input
signal. The characteristics of this signal undergo changes such
as
those
in
Fig.
6:
input-gain
characteristics.
To
provide
these
characteristics,
an
NFB
(negative
feedback)
circuit
returns
a
portion of the GCA output to the input, and the dynamic ex-
pansion
selector
selects
the
NFB
elements
to
control
the
feed-
back ratio, thereby determining the total gain (Fig. 6).
Left
and
right
channels
are
mixed
by
a
blending
resistor
at
the
sensor
section
input,
to
prevent
excessive
gain
difference
bet-
ween
the
channels
from
producing
an
unnatural
effect
during
stereo
playback.
