VCR standard audio signal processor
BA7797F
The BA7797F is standard audio signal processor designed for use in VCRs and tape decks. The circuit is comprised
of a playback preamplifier, a line amplifier, a recording amplifier, an ALC circuit and high-voltage head switch.
The IC has a built-in coil equivalent circuit for recording equalization, which eliminates the need for an external com-
ponent.
•Applications
Video cassette recorders and tape decks
•Features
1) Two input switching systems built-in (LINE and TUN-
ER).
2) Built-in coil equivalent circuit for recording equaliza-
tion.
3) High-performance low-noise playback amplifier.
4) ALC level can be adjusted by connection of an
external resistor.
5) Compatible with single-mode EQ making it ideally
suited to widely-used decks.
