Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0746177A2] The device contains a computer in the form of a microprocessor used as the controller of a decoder in the form of a phase shift matrix space integrated circuit, input sockets for connection of the audio sources and output sockets for connection of loudspeakers via amplifiers. The control microprocessor (IC2) has an associated address stage with a temporary address memory (IC4), a memory (IC3), a reset stage, remote operations input and, in some cases, an additional memory (IC5). The computer is connected via a data bus to the decoder, whereby the data bus is operated in multiplex mode. A SCART input socket can be provided for TV and video unit audio sources.
