The ease of this purchase was a good start. The content of this manual was exactly all I needed to retore my Tandberg 64.
All of the mechanical and electrical information is contained in the manual and the quality of the document makes reading the data easy.
The exerience with the resource has made this my prime source for technical data.

6-channel class-D amplifier
Basic operation of a class-D amplifier Basically, the output stage of a class-D amplifier outputs a continuous square wave swinging between positive and negative power supplies with a fixed frequency (�clock� frequency) far beyond the audible range. The duty cycle of this square wave is modulated with the audio signal. The output is followed by a low-pass filter which eliminates the clock frequency and allows only the audio signal going to the speaker. See simplified drawing below.

This requires special precautions to prevent excessive electromagnetic radiation (EMC). Compared to a conventional power amplifier the benefits of the Class-D amplifier are: � higher effiency � lower power dissipation � smaller heatsink required � smaller mains transformer required
