CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
a. POWER SUPPLY
.
When the POWER switch is turned on, all circuits are sup-
plied with voltage from the AC Adapter.
The circuits supplied with voltage are of three types : cir-
cuits supplied directly with a voltage of + 9V, circuits sup-
plied with a constant-voltage of + 5V, and circuits supplied
with a constant-voltage of + 7V.
1., The circuits supplied directly with a voltage of + 9V
(1) Audio amplifier (ICI and IC2)
(2) Play Drive and Rewind Drive circuits
(3) Backspace circuits
(4) Erase Head Drive circuits
(5) TEL. Record / Dictate circuit
2. The circuits supplied with a constant-voltage of + 5V
(1) MPU (Microprocessor unit) lC3
(2) Cue Tone Signal Record circuit
(2) Cue Tone Signal Detect circuit
(3) Rotation Detection circuit
3. The circuits supplied with a constant-voltage of + 7V
(1) Motor Governor circuit

PLAYBACK CIRCUIT
When the PLAY button is pushed, pinl (PDO) of IC3 goes
to low, as does pin9 of IC3. This activates the Play Drive
Circuit composed ofQ12, Q13 and the Play Solenoid (SL1 ).
A signal from the tape is played back according to the fol-
lowing process :
Record / Play Head (HD1-1 ) + Pre-amplifier (IC1 pin6 +
IC1 pin3) + Tone Control (VR1 ) + Volume Control (VR2)
+ Power Amplifier (IC2 pin3 + IC2 pin5) + Earphone
Jack (J3) + Mic. / Speaker Switch (S2-2) + Speaker (SP1 )
When playing back (including fast forward and rewind),
the voltage will not be supplied to pin9 of the Pre /
Record Amplifier (IC1 ).
Also, the muting transistor Q4 goes off. Moreover, the
OSC transformer (Tl ) is carried out muting through Q31,
Q32 and Q33.
RECORDING
CIRCUIT
A signal from either the Microphone (Hand Control) or
TEL. Record Jack (J2) is recorded on the tape according
to the following process.
Pre / record Amplifier (IC1 pin9 + IC1 pin7) + Record /
Play Head (HD1-1)
A voltage of approximately 3.2V is supplied to pin9 of the
Pre / record Amplifier (iCl) at this time, and IC1 will be
changed to the recording
mode. Then pin16 of IC3 goes
to high (approx. 1.3V), Q13 turns on, and the Record Sig-
nal from ICI pin3 is muted and howling prevented.
When recording, Q9 turns on and voltage is supplied to
and activates the Bias Circuit composed of Q6 and
T1.
At the same time, Q31 and Q32 go off when Q33 goes off
and then the OSC transformer (T1 ) muting is eliminated.

CUE TONE SIGNAL RECORD CIRCUIT
w
The Cue Tone Signal transmits for approximately 1.6 sec.
emitting about 130Hz rectangular wave from pinl 8 (PF3)
of IC3. This signal passes through a filter composed of
R109, C50, R107, C57, RI 04, R103 and C55, is boosted
at Q23 and Q22, and is recorded onto the tape from the
Search track of the Record/ Play Head (HD1 -2).
While the Cue Signal Tone is being emitted (approx. 1.6
sec.), pin19 of IC3 goes to high (approx. 3.5V) and Q29
and Q5 turn on. The Cue Tone Signal is recorded onto
the tape because Q29 is on, and the circuit for the voice
recording is muted because Q5 is on.
CUE TONE DETECTION CIRCUIT
This circuit operates only during fast forward and rewind.
The Cue Tone Signal recorded on the tape is played back
according to the following process :
Record / Play Head (Search Track HD1 -2) + Cue Tone
4
Detection Circuit (IC4 pin2 + IC4 pin7) + Q24 + Q26 +
Q27 + Q28 + IC3 pin27 (PC2).
During fast forward the input Cue Tone Signal goes to ap-
proximately 400 Hz. This signal is boosted at IC4 and
when over Q28 turns on by means of Q24, Q26 and Q27.
When Q28 turns on, pin27 of IC3 (PC2) goes to low, and
the signal is picked up by the MPU (IC3) as the Cue Tone
Signal. Pin9 (PEO) of IC3 goes to high (approx. 1.2V) for
approximately 2 seconds, releasing the Play Solenoid. At
the same time, pinl 5 (PFO) of IC3 goes to high (approx.
2V) and the Motor (Ml) drops from high speed to normal
rotation.
During rewind the input Cue Tone Signal goes to approxi-
mately 650 - 2200 Hz. This signal is boosted at IC4 and
when over Q28 turns on by means of Q24, Q26 and Q27.
When Q28 turns on, pin27 of IC3 (PC2) goes to low, and
the signal is picked up by the MPU (IC3) as the Cue Tone
-
Signal. Pinl 2 (PE3) of IC3 goes to high (approx. 1.2V),
releasing the Play Solenoid (SL1 ).
ALARM SIGNAL
The Alarm Signal is a 650Hz rectangular wave emitted
from pin17 (PF2) of IC3. This signal passes R27, C25,
R26 and R25 and enters pin 3 of the Power Amplifier IC2,
where is boosted and emitted from the speaker as an
alarm signal.
There are 4 types of alarm signals :
(1) No Cassette Alarm ., . . . . . . sounds continuously
(2) ASOAlarm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . approx.4 sec.
(3) Cue Tone Record Alarm . . . . . . . approx. 1.6 sec.
