  • Page 3 SAFETY INFORMATION 1. Parts that have special safety characteristics are identified by the symbol on schematics or by special notes on the parts list. Use only replacement parts that have critical characteristics recommended by the manufacturer. 2. Make leakage current or resistance measurements to determine that exposed parts are acceptably insulated from the supply circuit before returning the unit to the customer.

  • Page 6 ® The AM-30P is a five channel, 175 Watt, surround-sound powered Acoustimass loudspeaker, designed to be used with either the CD-20 or CD-5V Music Center. The AM-30P and CD-20 together form the complete Bose ® Lifestyle ® 30 home theater audio system. Major features of the AM-30P include: •...
  • Page 7 THEORY OF OPERATION 2.2 Surround Decoder Surround channel information is audio that is recorded 180° out of phase (+90° left and -90° right) on to the left and right channels (in equal amplitude). On movie soundtracks this typically represents special effect sounds that are meant to be heard behind the listener. Center chan- nel information (movie dialogue for instance) is audio that is recorded in equal amplitude on to left and right channels that is in phase (0°...
  • Page 8 THEORY OF OPERATION 2.3 Microcontroller (Refer to Figure 8 PCB Block Diagram) Upon request (via the remote control or console) the CD-20 sends out serial data commands to the AM-30P microcontroller to select mode of operation (2, 3, 5 channel), adjust volume level (master, center, or surround), and control on/off mute.
  • Page 9 THEORY OF OPERATION 3.2 Audio Chain (Refer to the shcematic sheets 1 through 3 enclosed) The following discussion references the left channel electronics. Right channel operation is identical and therefore not specified. The differential input amplifier stage (op-amp U13, pins 1, 2 and 3) buffers and preamplifies the CD-20 output signal.

  • Page 12 THEORY OF OPERATION 3.3 Surround Detector (Refer to schematic sheet 1) Output from differential amplifier U13 is applied to a pair of 85Hz 1st order high pass filters, one inverting, the other non-inverting. The inverting stage facilitates full wave detection in the next stage.
  • Page 13 THEORY OF OPERATION 3.4 Decoder Gain Cell (Refer to Schematic sheet 2) The output of the treble control stage is applied to the input of the surround sound decoder. The decoder is made up of several stages that include U10, U11, U12, and U14. At the input of the decoder, left and right audio channels are converted to L+R and L-R signals through summing amplifier U10, pins 1, 2 and 3 and differential amplifier U10, pins 12, 13 and 14, respectively.
  • Page 14 THEORY OF OPERATION The center and surround channels each pass through an independent digital volume control (internally consisting of a CMOS switched passive resistor ladder network). In five channel mode the range of the center and surround volume controls are deliberately limited, from 0 to -4dB for the center channel, and from 0 to -12dB for the surround channel.
  • Page 15 THEORY OF OPERATION When the audio output voltage approaches the 17VDC power supply rail, output transistor Q382 begins to saturate and conducts much more base current than the normal maximum of 5mA. At approximately 8mA the voltage drop across 75Ω resistor R390 exceeds 0.6V and small signal transistor Q383 begins to conduct.
  • Page 16 Figure 5. Voltage at Collector of Q381 (Bass Amplifier) Figure 6. Treble Control Frequency Response...
  • Page 17 THEORY OF OPERATION The Class-G switching circuitry previously described for the surround channel amplifier is also controlled by the left channel amplifier. Similarly, when the left audio input exceeds a certain level, diode D475 conducts and again transistor Q175 is triggered on. Therefore, the power supply voltage that powers both amplifiers will switch high in response to a request from either amplifier.
  • Page 18 THEORY OF OPERATION The thermal detect line feeds into pin 9 of the microcontroller. This is the output of a compara- tor that incorporates a thermistor to monitor the temperature of the Amplifier PCB near the heat sink. At room temperature (25°C) the thermistor resistance is 22kΩ. It forms a voltage divider with resistor array R608 (pins 3-4), and a mirrored voltage divider exists R608 (pins 1- 2) with R607 on the inverting input of the comparator (U600 pins 1, 6 and 7).
