The signal from the playback head is amplified
by the Q102/Q103 2-stage direct-coupled ampli-
fier. In the NORM position, the playback equali-
zation (120ps) compensation is achieved by the
NF circuit between the Q103 collector and Q102
emitter. In the METAL and CrOz positions, Q104
is turned on, and the equalization characteristics
switched from 120ps to 70ps to compensate the
frequency response. The level of the EQ AMP
output is set by a variable resistor, and further
amplified by the Q401 flat amplifier before being
parised through the MPX filter and applied to pin
2 of the Dolby IC.
This Dolby circuit consists of IC401 (HA11226),
and the Dolby ON/OFF switch is linked to the
MPX filter ON/OFF switch. When the Dolby
switch is OFF, the 19kHz filter is bypassed.
The Dolby circuit output appears at pin 8 of
IC401, and is passed to LINE OUTPUT via a
switching IC (IC402).

The input signal from the microphone jack is
amplified by the microphone amplifier IC101, and
passed via the MIC/LINE
selector switch to the
INPUT volume control where the input level is
adjusted. This adjusted signal is passed via IC103
to flat amplifierQ40l. D313 and D314 in the stage
before IC103 form a protector circuit designed
to protect IC103 from large input signals. The
signal amplified by the flat amplifier is pa.ssed via
the MPX filter to pin 2 of the Dolby IC, the output
appearing at pin 8. The level of this output is
adjusted by variable resistor. Then after equaliza-
tion in the REC AMP (Q106) in accordance to
the type of tape being used, the signal is passed
to the recording head.

The control circuit in this deck utilizes a one-
chip IC (PM90028) which enables feather-touch
operations. In addition
to mechanism control,
this IC also includes auto-stop function. And due
to the digital counter frequency divider system
employed in timing settings for the mechanism
control, all operational timing discrepancies have
been eliminated. The PM9002B pin layout is
shown in Fig. 3-3, the functional block diagram in
Fig. 3-2, and the output pin time charts during
different modes in Figs. 3-4 and 3-5. For inter-
relations between circuits, see the block diagram
on page 10, 11 and in Fig. 3-1.

Operations during Each Mode
The mechanical operations effected by the
following circuit changes are described in the next
chapter (see page 7).
1. When the POWER Switch is Switched ON
When the POWER switch is switched on, *5V is
applied to pin 1 (Vcc) of IC102. During the initial
period when pin 1 voltage is being increased from
0V to 5V (approximately from 0.6V to 2.4V) the
IC's intemal reset circuit is activated, putting the
IC into stop status which is maintained for about
four seconds after the power switch is switched ON.
During this time, no change can be effected by
pressing any of the other operation control buttons.
