Aiwa RC-R300 remote control

Infrared Wireless Remote Control System

Designed as an optional accessory for M-501, M-606, M-505 and M502 mini series, this remote control transmitter/receiver set provides great value in an outboard system. The compact hand-held transmitter from up to 6 meters )approx. 20 feet) away from the main components. It's a surefire way to enjoy the outstanding capability of Aiwa mini systems from the comfort of your easy chair.

Some of the many possible wireless operations:

Function selection (Aux, Tuner, Phono)

Tape monitor On/Off switching

Remote ststion selection, including one-touch tuning of up to 6 preset stations on ST-R50, 10 stations on AX-S50

Cassette deck transport modes (SD-L50, SD-L60)

Up/Down amplifier volume adjustment

Power On/Off switching

-20 dB muting On/off

Turntable start/cut )AP-D50, AP-D60)

 

Tuner controls operations

Because the ST-R50 and AX-S50 utilize an electronic synthesizer tuning system, remote control can be employed to select or change stations by manual Up/Down tuning or by pressing the selector button corresponding to the preset station on the tuner.

Preamplifier control operations

Besides raising and lowering of amplifier volume, the remote transmitter can be used to switch modes from Tuner to Tape, Aux to Phono, etc. Another remote function sure to come in handy at times is the -20 dB muting facility.

Other controls

Cassette deck transport modes and turntable start/cut operation can also be performed. As a useful feature to prevent misoperation of the remote unit ahile the system is making a recording for example, the transmitter unit can be independently switched off.

 Infra-Red Wireless Remote Control

 Operation of Receiver

1. The receiver consists of a PIN photo diode, amplifier, LC tuning circuit, detection circuit, and wave-form shaping circuit (Schmitt Trigger), and it changes the infrared signal from the transmitter into the original 10-bit signal.
2. The 10-bit pulse signal is processed by the microcomputer, and then the necessary remote control signal is taken out from each output port.
3. The output interface is a circuit to facilitate the conection with each equipment, and it is an inverter using an open collector.

Operation of Transmitter

1. MN6025C is an 5-bit IC which can generate 25 kinds of signals. The oscillation frequency is 396 kHz and is divided by 12 to obtain 33 kHz which is used as modulation frequency. It is further divided by 16 to achieve 2,06 kHz which is the clock frequency of this IC.
2. When the keyboard is depressed, Mn6025C starts oscillating and generates series pulses of 5 bits plus inverse 5 bits, totalling 10 bits, according to the key position.
3. The 10-bit pulse signal is modulated by 33 kHz carrier.
4. The modulated signal from MN6025C is applied to the infrared LED and command eye LED drive circuits. With oscillation time is about 60 msec. required for 10 bits, while the lighting up time of the command eye is set at about 0,5 sec.

 Electronic Volume Control

1. In this control, five attenuators of -2 dB, -4 dB, -8 dB, -16 dB and -32 dB, and a muting circuit of -20 dB are turned On-Off by an analog switch for changeover in 32 steps renging from 0 dB to -6 dB and to ∞ by -2 dB each.
2. The analog switch is driven by a 5-bit binary up-down counter, which is provided with last sound function due to the back-up signal from the tuner pre-amplifier.
3. The volume control up-down switch gains 1 step in the initial 0,5 sec. of push, and keeping it depressed causes step-by-step volume control every 0,15 sec. When the switch is kept depressed, it takes about 5 secondes for the change from 0 dB to -∞ dB.
4. A 5-bit IC (LC7500) is used as the controller for the electronic volume. With this IC, the five attenuators can be selected in 32 steps. The internal oscillation frequency 800 Hz is divided into pulses of 0,15 sec. period, and the pulses are counted at the counter circuit to select the attenuators.

When the volume up-down switch is pressed, three pulses are first counted to select an attenuator and subsequently the attenuators are selected every pulse.
