Sharp RT-3500C cassette deck

Stereo Cassette Deck with Dolby Noise Reduction and APFS system

Sharp's  newly developed unique Auto Program Find System.

Sharp's developed unique APFS finds the cue of every musical selection (non0signal part) on a music recorded tape. When the fast forward button is pushed while operating with the APFS switch ON, the tape stops at the beginning of the next musical selection automatically. When the rewind button is pushed while operating with the APFS switch ON, the tape returns to the beginning of the music and stops automatically. The APFS is ideal for the following purposes: When you want to select only a desired selection of music  on a recorded music tape; When you want to select the next musical selection during playback; When you want to repeat the same music..

Ultra-hard, High-quality MCF head

Long-life with excellent durability against abrasion is assured through employment of a strictly selected high density ferrite head; keeps efficiency semipermanently without deteriorating characteristics during long periods of use. Ideal shape and mirror finishing produced by a unique polishing technique assure extra smooth head surface. Produces steady high range characteristics, non-fluctuating low range characteristics and wide dynamic sound range. Also assures recording and playback with high grade sounf quality. Moreover shuts out external induction thanks to front shield structure.

Automatic changeover system for detecting CrO₂ tape

When a CrO₂ tape with additional sensing holes situated next to the breakout lug holes is inserted into the cassette chamber. Bias and Equalizer can be set automatically to the correct characteristics in recording and playback mode. Therefore, no manual operation of the CrO₂ tape selector switch is required. When using CrO₂ tapes of the old standard type, the CrO₂ tape selector must be used.

Dolby Noise Reduction System

The Dolby NR system is employed in the RT-3500C for reducing hiss noise. The noise reduction effect of the Dolby system, for example, is 10 dB at around 10 kHz. So annoying hiss noise doea not affect listening enjoyment. Thus, the Dolby system not only improves Signal-to-Noise Ratio , but correct cross modulating distortion remarkably, and assures unsurpassed quality stereo sound reproduction.

DC Servo Motor for Stable Rotation

The DC Servo Motor is employed for stable rotation in the unit. Assures recording and playback enjoyment without worrying about noise caused by vibration. Wow and Flutter and Power consumption are also reduced.

FM Detector Circuit. This unit employs "Quadrature Detector" based on newly developed IC, which is substituted for ratio detector and Foster-Seeley's detector that have been sp far used. The basic structure of quadrature detector circuit is as shon.

Multipath Detection Circuit

Multipath Distortion. In any of electric-wave signals broadcasting including FM waves, it would be ideal if the signals emitted by abroadcasting station were caught by a receiver's antenne as they midway. Actually saying, however, there are practically some obtacles (like mountains and  skyscrapers, etc.) between the transniter side and the receiver side, which have the emitted signals undergo a phenomenon of waves reflection, leading to that the signals become distored variously when caughtby the receiver's antenna

A simple exampleconcering this distortion is that in the mountainous area or large cities full of higher buildings, the TV stes get produced images be doubled (this called a ghost). This phenomenon is a sort of multipath distortion and it is caused by the there is a time delay betweenthe direct waves and reflected waves. In the case of radio sets, this is reffed to as that the reproduced sounds contain distortions; particularlyas for stereo broadcasting signals, since their band width is rather wider and so they are apt to be interferred by various objects, not only the distorted sounds are produced but also the stereo separation characteristics will suffer. These phenomena are named a multipath distortion.

Multipath Distortion Detection. Multipath distortion are classified into the two, that is, phase distortion which is found out by the frequency discriminator and AM distortion which is removed by the limiter circuit; the latter AM distortion is actually subject to detection by the multipath detector circuit.

FM Stereo Demodulator Section

Features of PLL Stereo demodulator Circuit.

This set incorporates a stereo demodulator circuit that comprises ICs with the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) system applied. The PLL FM demodulator circuit is provided with such characteristics as mentioned  below.

In order to demodulate stereo composite signals, it is necessary to take a 19 kHz pilot signal out of the stereo composite signals and to make it a 38 kHz signal.  Most of the conventional methods to obtain such a 38 kHz signal are frequency doubling ones which utilize a nonlinearity of the elements. Compared with the conventional type, the recently developed IC-ed demodulator provides more sufficient separation effects.  However, since it also requires 2 or 3 coils like the conventional one, if even one of them is dislocated from the initially adjusted point due to a secular change the separation effects will be deteriorated. Moreover there is such a contradiction that the more the efficiencies of the coils are increased enough to withstand the outer pulse signals like automobil ignition noises, the more the coils suffer secular changes.

To eliminate such disadvantages as above, PLL system is employed in the method to make a 38 kHz signal using a 19 kHz pilot signal.

Variable Air Check Calibrator Circuit

Theis circuit is to make appropriate the recording level in advance when recording FM broadcast into the tape deck or equivalent.

The circuit  is reffered to as this variable air check calibratoe circuit and it is composed of an air check oscillator circuit, air check meter indication circuit and further a circuit by which, when the air check/muting switch is set to 'air check on' position during FM reception, the indication mode of the signal/air check meter will be changed from 'signal level' to 'air check level' indication.
