9.3.3
CMT detection (video detection with CSYNC)
This has been extended due to identification problems with
weak transmission signals and video signals not conforming
to the STANDARD (common channel interference). The
CSYNC line is supplied to the
µ
P [7899-B] on pin 50. A
hardware integration [7807,7808,7809] of the video pulse
compensates the interference generated by the common
channels and weak signals.
9.3.4
EE-PROM
The EE-PROM [7818] is a non-volatile memory which can be
erased and written to electrically. (Data remains even if the
operating voltage fails). Data specific to the device such as
the X distance, head changeover position, preset stations,
optional bytes etc. is stored in the EE-PROM [7818]. The
data is accessed by the
µ
P via the I
2
C bus.
9.3.5
Easy link (P50)
For the communication between the TV set, video recorder
and the peripheral devices, a bi-directional single-wire bus is
used, which runs via pin 10 to scart socket 1.
The output signal is generated on pin 84 of the
µ
C [7899-B],
pin 68 is the signal input.
9.3.6
Shuttle
The shuttle is connected to the motherboard on plug
pos.1982. It is a binary coded rotary switch with a rotation
angle of +/- 70 degrees and 16 switch positions. These are
input and evaluated via four lines (shuttle b1 - shuttle b4) to
the input ports P24 - P27 [7899B pins 2-5].
9.3.7
Satmouse
For activating a sat-receiver via an external infrared
electronic transmission unit (Satmouse) a bi-directional data
line, a short-circuit proof +5V and earth are provided via a 3-
pin 3.5mm jack [1941].
The +5V is limited to approx. 140 mA using a current limiting
switch [7812 and peripherals].
9.4
Deck electronics DE (DE part)
The deck interface IC MP63100FP [7463] contains the
following functional groups:
•
CTL stage (tape synchronisation)
•
Sensor interface
•
Power on reset
•
Head drum motor driver
•
Loading motor driver
•
Capstan motor control
9.4.1
CTL stage
The IC M63100FP [7463] contains a read/write stage for the
CTL track with the option of overwriting an existing CTL track
without any interference. The playback stage is fitted with a
“digital” five-stage AGC. This logic circuit identifies the size of
the output signal supplied by the CTL head, and then selects
the best amplification ratio in the playback stage using
comparators.
The CTL head voltage can therefore vary greatly, if V
max
/
V
min
is great. The slowest tape speed is in LP mode. The
fastest speed is adjusted during rewind. To ensure that the
duty cycle in the tape sync is always reproduced correctly in
the conditions mentioned above (important for detecting
VISS marks), the amplifier must not be overdriven.
The five-stage AGC alone cannot cover the large dynamic
range of the input voltage. The amplifier is therefore also
equipped with a low pass characteristic (fg = 3kHz typ.;
internal).
In parallel with the CTL head is the RC cell comprising
capacitor [2479] and resistor [3471]. The capacitor [2479],
together with the CTL head inductivity, causes a resonance
step-up at around 10 kHz and the resistor [3471] suppresses
this step-up. This creates an aperiodic transient response in
the resonance. Beyond the resonance frequency, there is an
adjustment in terms of a steep fall in the frequency
transmission characteristic. This effectively suppresses high-
frequency pick-ups. The CTL head signal amplitude in
standard play is around 1mVp (typ.) which means that the
amplification for the playback amplifier must be
correspondingly high. To avoid offset problems, a 100 F
electrolytic capacitor [2490] is fitted in the negative feedback
branch for DC decoupling.
The polarity of the playback amplifier can be changed using
the Video Index Search System (VISS) voltage. This is the
only way in which the P can write a VISS mark on the tape
without spikes. The Write/Read (W/R) signal is used to
switch over between record and playback:
W = “H“, R = “L“.
9.4.2
Power on reset (POR) generator
The POR generator contained in the M63100FP [7463]
requires only one external capacitor [2477], which specifies
the length of the POR pulse. For 33 nF, t
POR
is approx. 30ms.
The response threshold of the reset circuit is between 4.5
and 4.8 V. Supply fluctuations which are shorter than tPOR/
100 area and which do not fall below 4.0 V, do not trigger the
POR. The P is reset using the inverted POR.
9.4.3
The sensor interface :
The four comparators in the M63100FP [7463] are used to
convert sensor signals to the logic level. The outputs are
overload protected by a current limiter and thermal overload
protection. Only the non-inverting input on each comparator
is accessible from the outside. The other inputs are
connected to an internal reference of 2.5V. The fixed
hysteresis of the comparators of approx. 18 mV is also
located internally.
The comparators are connected as follows:
Comparator 1: In = FTA, pin 39; Out = FTAD, pin 34:
FTA = threading tachometer. This signal comes from a forked
light barrier in the deck. An infra-red light beam is interrupted
by a 4-blade impeller (butterfly). The output amplitude for the
light barriers should be less than 2V for the low level and
greater than 3V in the high level to ensure a correct
evaluation process. An additional hysteresis is created with a
resistor [3476]. For unit versions <1W and FOME the
external operation amplifier [7530B] is used to reduce the
power consumption in <1W mode.
Comparator 2: In = WTR, pin 38; Out = WTRD, pin 33:
WTR = Winding tachometer right, from a reflection
photoelectric barrier. The level is the same as for the FTA.
Comparator 3: In = WTL, pin 37; Out = WTLD, pin 31 :
WTL = Winding tachometer left, from a reflection
photoelectric barrier. The level is the same as for the FTA.
