Abstract: It is intended to reduce the amount of computation to be performed by CPU or the required amount of storage space in a built-in memory for timing adjustment of a pulse output signal. A digital multiplying circuit in the phase arithmetic circuit of the pulse generating circuit generates a multiplication output signal by multiplying a phase angle change value in the phase adjustment data register and a count maximum value Nmax in the cycle data register. A digital dividing circuit generates a division output signal by dividing the multiplication output signal by 360 degrees of phase angle for one cycle. A digital adding circuit adds the division output signal and rise setting/fall setting count values and a subtracting circuit subtracts the division output signal from these values. The addition and subtraction generate new rise setting/fall setting count values required to delay/advance the phase by the phase angle change value.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided wherein signals which are reproduced from a record medium and which are supplied to head-phones are selectively attenuated and, concurrently, audio electrical signals produced by a microphone are superimposed onto these attenuated signals. An attenuator is coupled between a record/playback transducer and an amplifier; and a switch exhibits a first condition to short-circuit the attenuator, and a second condition to enable the attenuator to attenuate the signals reproduced by the record/playback transducer and also to superimpose the audio electrical signals produced by the microphone onto the attenuated signals. In one embodiment, a record/reproduce selector selectively establishes either a recording mode, whereby the audio electrical signals produced by the microphone are amplified and supplied to the record/playback transducer, or a reproducing mode, whereby the signals reproduced from the record medium by the record/playback transducer are supplied to the amplifier.
