Circuit Description
The following notes describe the operation of the
Alpha 7/8/9 CD players. They include the circuitry on
the main, DAC and display PCBs but not that on the
servo PCB attached to the mechanism.
Power Supplies
The mains input is fitted with inductors L2,3,6,7 to
filter electromagnetic interference coming out of the
player.
Mains transformer T201 has three secondary
windings supplying two separate power supplies and
an AC supply for the display filament:
Analogue Supply
Bridge rectifier D4,5,6,7 and reservoir capacitors
C209-C212 produce unregulated split rails of about
+/-22V.
Z204 and Z205 provide regulated outputs of +18V
and -18V respectively that power the opamps in the
audio output stage.
Since there is no power switch on this secondary, the
analogue supplies are always connected.
Digital Supply
Switch SW201-A disconnects the digital secondary
winding when the 'Power' switch is out.
An unregulated supply of about 11V is produced by
the bridge rectifier D8,9,10,11 and reservoir
capacitor C36.
This is then regulated to provide three +5 volt
supplies (Z208 general logic supply, Z207 DAC
supply, Z203 system clock generator supply) and a
+7.3v supply for themechanism and motor drive
circuits(Z206).
A -30v supply is formed by Z209 and associated
components to power the display grid.
Muting
When the unit is turned off SW201-A discharges
capacitor C29 quickly. This along with the AMUTE
signal from the microprocessor, controls the output
mute transistors Q1,101 via level shifter Q3.
Clock Generator
The system clock is generated by a discrete oscillator
based around Q2 and 16.9344MHz oscillator X1. The
output of Q2 is amplified and buffered by inverters
Z202-E & D and sent to the clock input of the DAC
Z201.
DAC & Audio Outputs (Alpha 7 only)
The DAC is a Delta-Sigma design from Burr Brown,
the PCM1710U.
The serial digital data from the decoder Z206 is input
to pins 1 to 3. The system clock is input to pin 5.
The DAC is powered entirely from one 5V supply,
although it is split and decoupled between the
analogue and digital sections of the device.
The analogue outputs from each channel are
processed identically.Three poles of filtering are
provided by the active filter based around Z1-A. Z1-B
buffers the audio output and sets the output level.
Muting is provided by turning on Q1 and Q101.
DAC & Audio Outputs (Alpha 8 only)
This is a similar circuit as the one used on the Arcam
Alpha 6 DAC PCB but designed for Sony format
input data and a better digital filter, the SM5843AP1,
Z14.The digital filter is used with a SM5864AP 20-bit
DAC chip, Z12, (described here as a PWM noise
shaper to avoid confusion with the 1-bit DAC Latch
which follows it). The output from this is re-latched by
Z7, Z8.
Digital FilterA PIC micro on the mother board
controls the filter with the signals RB0 to RB7. The
SM5843 filter has internal pull-up resistors on its
inputs resulting in RB4 & RB5 being logic 1.
The SM5843APT requires several control lines from
the PIC...
RB7 FSEL2, Selects sampling rate for de-emphasis.
Static low for 44.1K.
RB6 FSEL1, Selects sampling rate for de-emphasis.
Static low for 44.1K.
RB5 IW2N, Selects input word length. Static high for
16 bits.
RB4 MDT, Serial data input for volume control. Burst
at switch-on for setting to full.
RB3 RSTN, Reset line. Short pulse low at switch on,
then static high.
RB2 MLEN, Serial data latch input for volume
control.
RB1 MCK, Serial clock input for volume control.
RB0 Not connected.
No Dither On Silence
The digital filter adds ‘dither’ to the output signal.
This improves the low-level performance of the DAC.
The PWM filter normally mutes when it detects
digital silence to prevent any unwanted noise and
idle-tones on the audio outputs when no music is
playing. A slight click is audible when this happens.
Unfortunately, the added dither prevents this mute
from operating because it holds it open. Q11 detects
digital silence on the data input to the filter. When
silence is detected, the dither function is switched off
ALPHA 7/8/9 CD SERVICE MANUAL
allowing the PWM filter’s mute to operate as normal.
Mute Relay
The mute relay is controlled from the PIC micro via
RA0 after switch-on. In Standby mode, XRST is low
which interrupts the relay via Q9. RA0 is low when
the CD player comes out of standby mode and goes
high after a short settling delay.
The power rail, RLYPWR, is un-regulated and has a
small reservoir capacitor (on the mother board) so
that the relay is released very soon after the mains is
disconnected from the CD player before the other
power supply rails collapse.
PWM noise shaper
To reduce EMC, the clock signal going into this chip,
Z12, is very weak on the XTI pin (23) pin, taken
directly off Q5. This is amplified so that there should
be a larger signal on the CKO pin (26).
The PWM output on pins 11, 13, 16 and 18 can be
resolved into an audio waveform on a scope simply
by measuring them through a 100K resistor. The
same is true for the PWM signals through the latch
and the level shifter.
Latch

latches, Z7 and Z8.The power supply for these chips
is the DAC voltage reference and the output drives
the analogue filter stage directly. The latches reduce
any edge-timing jitter induced on the PWM signal
coming from Z12.
Analogue filter
The first half of the analogue filter, Z3 and Z4 is
balanced. The signal through one side of the op-amp,
pin 1, should be phase inverted with respect to the
other, pin 7. These signals should be viewed on a
scope through a 100K resistor since there may still
be quite a lot of RF noise on the signal.
Z1 and Z2 filter the audio signal further and also
convert the balanced signal into a single ended
signal. Z18 acts as a DC servo to reduce the output
offset voltage. This has a very large time constant so
an offset as high as 50mV is possible when the unit
is first plugged in. This reduces to less than 3mV
after 10 minutes and stays low if the unit is switched
off and on with the Standby button.

Disc Transport Module 3. Unplug the unit from the mains.

The CDM 14 module comprises the disc loading
mechanism, laser assembly, RF amplifier and
analogue signal processing. All the servo control and
motor drive circuits are also included.
Digital Signal Processor
Mute, attenuation and de-emphasis functions are
controlled via a three-wire serial bus from the system
controller (Z212) to pins 26, 27 & 28 of the DAC
(Z201).
Digital audio is input to the DAC on pins 1, 2& 3 in
standard Sony format i.e. Word Clock, Data and Bit
Clock.
A digital output complying to the SPDIF standard is
generated by the decoder on the mechanisim
assembly. This is passed through an isolating
transformer, T202, to the digital output socket SK5.
4. Push the tray front upwards to remove it
from the tray. Push the tray in manually.
5. Remove the 4 screws holding the front panel
to the chassis and release the locating tabs.
6. Unplug the flexfoil from the display board
where it enters the main pcb.
7. Remove the 2 screws holding the remote
receiver pcb in place.
8. The front panel can now be pulled off the
unit.
9. To remove the display pcb remove the 6
screws holding the board in place.
To remove the main pcb first remove the DAC board
if it is an Alpha 8 or 9 CD player.
1. Remove the 3 screws holding the audio
output sockets to the rear panel and 2
screws holding the aluminium extrusion in
place.
2. Squeeze the tops of the 2 pcb pillars and lift
the board up slightly to clear them .
3. Remove the 2 flexfoils from the DAC board.

System Controller
The CXP826P16Q system controller (Z212) is a
combined CD player controller, keyboard scanner,
remote control decoder and fluorescent display
driver. It's clock is generated by 4.00MHz resonator
X201.
The controller detects the position of the disc drawer
from the status of two microswitches, INSW &
OUTSW, on socket SK205. The drawer motor is
controlled via motor driver Z210
The DAC board, still attached to the extrusion, can
now be removed from the unit.
To remove the main pcb remove the 8 pcb securing
screws and the screw holding the digital ouput socket
to the chassis. (On Alpha 7 CDs also remove the 3
screws securing the audio ouput sockets in place).
Release the cables which connect the mechanism to
the main board.
The main pcb can now be slid out of the case.

The keyboard scanning works by connecting the keys

to a resistor ladder on an ADC (analogue to digital
convertor) input to the microcontroller. Pressing a
key presents a unique voltage to this input.

The signal from the remote control receiver is input

to RMIN (pin 2) after first passing through the PIC
microcontroller, Z211, on the small remote receiver
pcb. This PIC ic converts the RC-5 format codes
from the remote control handsets to NEC data,
suitable for the Sony chipset. It also controls
theconfiguration of the digital filter/DAC on the Alpha
8 and 9 DAC boards the The remote control data
contains a ‘customer code’ that identifies it as an
Arcam product.The microcontroller is confiqured to
accept this code by means of the diode network
D291 to D297.
