  • This invention relates generally to a cutting and recording system for a multichannel record disc, and more particularly, to a system for cutting a multichannel record disc, wherein a componentv for nullifying or canceling crosstalk is added to the signal to eliminate crosstalk occurring at the time of recording.
  • CD-4 compatible-discrete, 4-channel
  • the direct wave of the sum signal of two channels out of four channel signals and an angular modulation wave of the difference signal of the two channels are multiplexed at the time of recording.
  • the resulting signal is recorded on one of the wall surfaces of the sound groove.
  • multiplexing is carried out in the same way.
  • the resulting signal is recorded on the other wall surface of the sound groove.
  • Crosstalk In this recording system, there is a crosstalk of angular modulated waves, between the left and right channels.
  • Crosstalk is produced by the process wherein the electrical signal applied to the cutting stylus or cutter is converted into a mechanical vibration, as described hereinafter in detail.
  • crosstalk occurs in this manner, it appears as distortion during playback or reproduction, and the reproduced tone quality deteriorates.
  • the present invention contemplates adding to the recording signal a component for nullifying the above mentioned crosstalk component.
  • the recording of multichannel signals on a disc follows without the occurrence of crosstalk.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a multichannel disc recording system wherein an opposite crosstalk component, of opposite phase and equal quantity relative to the crosstalk component, is introduced beforehand into the recording signal. Recording is carried out with the net result that crosstalk is prevented from occurring.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a multichannel disc recording system wherein, by merely adjusting components such as a variable resistor and a phaseshifting circuit in accordance with the crosstalk characteristic of the recording cutter, it is possible through the electrical circuit system to eliminate the crosstalk component in the electric signal-mechanical vibration transducer of the cutter.

  • FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing one embodiment of a specific electrical circuit of the essential parts of the system shown by block diagram in FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a graph indicating one example of crosstalk characteristics of a cutter head.
  • First and second channel signals CH1 and CH2 and third and fourth channel signals CH3 and CH4 are introduced through input terminals 10a and 10b and input terminals 10c 10d, respectively, as indicated in FIG. 1. These signals are respectively supplied to matrix circuits 11 and 12 and there rendered into sum signals and difference signals.
  • the output sum signals (CH1 CH2) and (CH3 CH4) of the matrix circuits 11 and 12 are respectively passed through delay circuits l3 and 16 for matching their phase with angular modulation difference signals, described hereinafter. Then, they are supplied to mixing circuits 15 and 18.
  • the output difference signals (CH1 CH2) and (CH3 CH4) of the matrix circuits 11 and 12 are respectively supplied to angular modulation circuits I4 and 17.
  • a carrier wave from a single master oscillator 21 is angular modulated.
  • the output angular modulated difference signals of the angular modulation circuits 14 and 17 are supplied to the above mentioned mixing circuits 15 and 18 and there mixed and multiplexed with the above mentioned direct-wave sum signals.
  • the output multiplexed signals of the mixing circuits 15 and 18 are amplified by amplifiers 19 and 20. Then, they are applied to the coils of the channel L and the channel R of a cutter 22. This cutter 22 is driven accordingly, whereby the recording signals are recorded on a disc 23 by the cutting stylus of the cutter respectively on the left and right walls of the recording groove according to the 45-45 system.
  • crosstalk of the angular modulation wave is produced between the channels L and R, as a result of the process of converting of an electrical signal applied to the cutter 22 into a mechanical vibration. More specifically, while a crosstalk due to a direct-wave sum signal of relatively low frequency presents almost no problem. However, in the case of an angular modulated difference signal of relatively high frequency, the quantity of crosstalk becomes large at the range of high frequency because of the structural mechanical accuracy of the cutter 22 and of the signal wavelength at which cutting is carried out. When crosstalk exists in this manner, at the time of cutting, distortion is produced in the reproduced sound during playback of the multichannel disc thus recorded.
  • the angular modulated signal relating to the difference signal (CI-I1 CH2) will be denoted by L.
  • the modulated signal relating to the difference signal (CI-I3 CH4) will be denoted by R.
  • L and R can be expressed by the following equations.
  • the signal L' of the channel L containing the crosstalk becomes l+K +2Kcos Lf(r) g(r)l sinl f(l)] K-sin[g(t) 'P] X cos cos[f(t)] K-cos[g(l) +l (3)
  • D(t) The demodulated signal, denoted by D(t) is determined from the following equation.
  • the component relating to the crosstalk and distortion becomes Ll( )+g( [f( )g( (6)
  • the component of crosstalk and distortion in the channel R it may be similarly expressed as follows. lf( )+g( C05 [30) f( 'P] (7) Consequently, in a conventional recording system, as described above, the crosstalk expressed by the above equation gives rise to distortion, and high fidelity is impaired.
  • FIG. 2 blocks which are the same as or equivalent to those in FIG. 1 are designated by like reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will not be repeated.
  • the angular modulated difference signals derived as output from the angular modulation circuits 14 and 17 and expressed by the above Eq. (1) are supplied by way of emitter follower circuits 30 and 31 to mixing circuits l5 and 18. There, they are mixed with direct-wave sum signals transmitted from the matrix circuits 11 and 12 by way of delay circuits l3 and 16.
  • the output multiplexed signals of the mixing circuits 15 and 18 are amplified by amplifiers 19 and 20 and then recorded by a cutter 22 on a disc 23.
  • the output angular modulated difference signals of the angular modulation circuits l4 and. 17 are supplied to the emitter follower circuits 30 and 31, as mentioned above. At the same time, these difference signals are also supplied by way of variable resistors VRl and VR2 to phase-shifting circuits 32 and 33. These angular modulated difference signals are multiplied K times by the variable resistors VRl and VR2, thereby being adjusted for the crosstalk correction quantity, and are then shifted in phase by the phaseshifting circuits 32 and 33.
  • the output signals of the phase-shifting circuits 32 and 33 are phase inverted by phase-inversion circuits 34 and 35 and then supplied to emitter follower circuits 36 and 37. Consequently, the output of the emitter follower circuit 36 becomes K.cos [wet +f(r) (M (12) while the output of the emitter follower circuit 37 becomes K.cos [cucl+g(t)+d (13)
  • the output signal of the emitter follower circuit 36 is supplied to the mixer 18 together with the angular modulated wave produced as output of the angular modulator 17, passed via emitter follower circuit 31.
  • Theoutput signal of the emitter follower circuit 37 is supplied to the mixer 15 together with the angular modulated wave produced as output of the angular modulator 14, passed via emitter follower circuit 30. Therefore, the angular modulated waves produced as outputs L, and R of the mixing circuits l5 and 18 can be expressed respectively as follows.
  • the essential parts of the block system indicated in FIG. 2 can be reduced to a practical form, as illustrated by one embodiment of a specific electrical circuit in FIG. 3.
  • the circuit 38 enclosed by an intermittent line is a circuit including the phase-shifting circuit 32 (FIG. 2), the phase-inversion circuit 34, and the emitter fol lower circuit 36.

  • the curve ll repre' sents the frequency characteristic of a crosstalk component leaking from the channel R into the channel L.
  • the quantity of the shift of the phase of the crosstalk of the cutter head differs with frequency band used. For example, when the band of the angular modulated wave is from KHz to 45 KHZ, and the phase thereof at the time is in an' advanced phase state, one measure is to cause the phase-shifting circuits Z1 and Z2 to have an advanced phase characteristics.
  • equalizer circuits of characteristics equal to the frequency characteristics of the crosstalk components are used for the phase-shifting circuits Zl and Z2.
  • the crosstalk quantity can be reduced to zero or to a minute value very close to zero, whereby distortion due to crosstalk can be eliminated, and recording of high fidelity can be achieved.
  • the crosstalk of the cutter is nullified with an electric circuit system. Therefore, even if there are deviations due to the cutter in the above mentioned crosstalk characteristic, it is possible to correct this deviation in a simple manner. Accordingly, there is no necessity of selecting the cutter to be used on this point, which is an economical feature.
