commands from CPU PD6006.
Both the capstan and reel-motor are direct-
drive motors fitted with a Hall sensing element.
Reel-motor L and reel-motor R (hereafter called
RM L, RM R) are used exclusively for tape take-up
in the FF, REW, PLAY, and REC/PLAY modes.
The direction of rotation and rotational speed of
these motoni are controlled by commands from
CPU PD6OO6.
The right side capstan motor is the DD type, and
the left side capstan motor is belt-driven by the
right side-motor. A sub-rotor acts as the actual
capstan. (Refer to Fig. 1-1).
The mechanism forming the right and left-hand
side of the unit is essentially symmetrical in
configuration, and in forward and reverse (here- Fig. 1-1 Mechanical
construction
after abbreviated FWD, REV) operations, each
side acts together. This description covers the
mechanical operations for FWD movement.

r Basic Operations of the Mechanism
The mechanism assumes three different states:
STOP, PAUSE,.and PLAY. Consequently, since it
can travel in the FWD and REV direction, there
are a total of six states possible. There is also a
direction operation for switching between FWD FWO
and REV travel. Transition between the FWD PLAY
and REV state will be described using only one
example. Fig. 1-2 mode transition(example)

2.4 TAPE LEADER DETECTORCIRCUIT
The tape leader detection circuit functions in
the auto-reverse mode to detect the point of
transition from the coated portion to the leader
portion of the tape. It then directs the mechanism
to reverse the direction of travel, or places the unit
in a STOP status when this event occurs from the
fast forward (FF) or rewind (REW) mode.
The detector uses an optical system based on an
PHOTOTRANSISTOR

phototransistor. The circuit is activated by detect- Fig. 2-6 detectorcircuit

by the transparent leader.
The output from pin 16 of PA3010 is converted
to light by the LED, and passesthrough the path
shown in Fig. 2-5 to be picked up by the photo- A

transistor. During tape travel, the amount of light
received by the phototransistor is quite small, so rr+
the input level at pin 7 is held low. This causes 5

Since CT-7R is equipped with a tape leader
detector circuit, it goes into a STOP status or goes
through a direction operation before reaching the
point where the end sensor circuit is activated, so
normally the end sensor circuit will not operate.
