level-adjusted by the VR circuit 16 of the auxiliary device 51, and is supplied to the speaker 19
from the speaker terminal 51c through the amplifier 17.
[0006]
Further, the built-in microcomputer 13 of the main device 50 is connected to the microcomputer
18 through the data input / output terminal 51b of the AUX device 51 from the data input /
output terminal 50b.

[0011]
That is, the VR level setting of the VR circuit 12 of the main device 50 is operated to a nonattenuation state one by one, and the VR circuit 16 of the AUX device 51 outputs a regular sound
output from the speaker 19.
[0012]
FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing another conventional example. The same reference numerals
as in FIG. 8 denote the same parts as in FIG. 8, and a description thereof will be omitted.

second VR circuit. 62 VR levels can be set.
[0014]
60
Reference numeral c denotes an acoustic output terminal from the signal source unit 11. The
source signal supplied to the acoustic output terminal 60c is supplied to the VR circuit 16
through the acoustic input terminal 51a of the AUX device 51.
Further, the microcomputer 13 of the main device 60 is connected to the microcomputer 18
from the data input / output terminal 60 d through the data input / output terminal 51 b of the
AUX device 51.
[0015]
The sound system device configured in this way adds the source sound output from the main
device 60 to the above-mentioned AUX device 51, whereby the first and second VR circuits 61
and 62 of the main device 60 and the VR circuit of the AUX device 51 are provided. The sound
output level-adjusted at 16 is output to the speakers 42 and 19.
[0016]
The sound system device configured in this way adds the sound output from the main device 60

In this manner, the subwoofer sound is level-set from the subwoofer speaker 42a of the main
device 60 by the first VR circuit 61 and outputted, and the main sound is VR circuit 16 from the
speaker 19 of the AUX device 51 connected to the main device 60. Set the level with and output.
[0019]
However, in the audio system apparatus in which the above-mentioned conventional AUX device
51 is connected to the main device 50, the main acoustic output is sent to the speaker 19 of the
AUX device 51 through the VR circuit 12 of the main device 50. In the case of performing this
operation, an operation for setting the setting of the VR level of the VR circuit 12 of the main
device 50 to the non-attenuation state is required, and there is a disadvantage that the
operability of the device is deteriorated and the operation is bothersome.
[0020]
Furthermore, when the VR circuit 12 of the main device 50 is in a small output state, for
example, the input level of the AUX device 51 becomes excessively smaller than the specified
input level. The output level of the VR circuit 16 or amplifier 17 of the AUX device 51 When
unnecessary external noise is mixed in the transmission line supplied from the main device 50 to
the auxiliary device 51, the mixed noise is amplified together with the signal to deteriorate S / N.

Also, as in the other conventional example described above, the subwoofer sound output is
performed from the first VR circuit 61 of the main device 60, and the main sound output of the
second VR circuit 62 of the main device 60 is not used. Since the setting level of the main sound
output is adjusted by the VR circuit 16 of the device 51, the second VR circuit 62 is wasted, and
the cost is increased.
[0023]

the present invention is to eliminate the drawbacks of the conventional example, and to set the
subwoofer level setting and the main speaker level setting with one VR circuit of the main device

When the microcomputer of the main device detects the connection of the AUX device, the
microcomputer reads out preset VR level data, that is, non-attenuation output data of the VR
circuit, and transfers the data to the VR circuit of the main device.
The VR circuit receiving the non-attenuation output data sets the VR level to be an output

key, and the subwoofer VR level is set with the second operation key (sub-woofer level setting
means 31), The setting data of the subwoofer VR level is transferred to the VR circuit of the main
device (first data transfer means 32).
[0041]
Further, when the volume mode (VOL mode) is set by the first operation key, the main VR level is
set by operating the second operation key (main level setting means 33), and setting of the main
VR level The data is transferred to the VR circuit of the AUX device (second data transfer means
34).
[0042]

VR circuit of the AUX device, and the main sound signal can be output from the main speaker
connected to the AUX device (main sound output means 35).
[0044]

sound output is automatically level-set by the VR circuit of the main device and output from the
subwoofer speaker, and the main sound output is automatically output for the AUX device. The
level is set by the VR circuit and output from the main speaker, and the user of the audio system

automatically adjust and set the main sound output level with the VR circuit of the main device
and output sound from the speaker system connected to the main device.
[0048]
In this way, since the subwoofer output and the main sound output can be independently
adjusted in level by the VR circuit of the main device and the AUX device, and can be output
independently from each speaker, the sound system is used. The user can use the sound system
with simple handling.

10-05-2019
16
main device 40 so that the microcomputer 13 connects the AUX device 15 The time can be
detected, and when the connection time is detected (step S20), the microcomputer 13 transfers
the VR level for setting the output level of the predetermined subwoofer speaker to the VR circuit
12 (step S21).
[0072]
Furthermore, the microcomputer 13 transfers the VR level for setting the output level of the
predetermined main speaker to the microcomputer 18 of the auxiliary device 15, and the
microcomputer 18 sets the VR circuit 16 to the VR level of the main speaker output level (step
S22).
[0073]
As described above, when the AUX device 15 is connected to the main device 40, the VR circuit
12 of the main device 40 can set the subwoofer level and output the subwoofer sound output to
the subwoofer speaker 42a. The VR circuit 16 can set the main speaker level and output the
main sound output from the speaker 19.
[0074]
On the other hand, the microcomputer 13 detects whether the AUX device 15 is still connected
to the main device 40 (step S23). When the AUX device 15 is connected, the first operation key
41a is operated to select the SUB mode. (Step S24), the subwoofer VR level is set by the
operation data of the second VR operation key 41b (step S25), and the VR level of the abovementioned subwoofer level setting is transferred to the VR circuit 12 of the main device 40 (step
S24) S26).
[0075]
On the other hand, when the first VR operation key 41a is not in the SUB mode ON but is set to
the VOL mode and the second VR operation key 41b for setting the main VR level is operated
(step S27), the microcomputer 13 The main VR level is set by the operation data of the VR
operation key 41b of 2 (step S28), and the data is sent to the microcomputer 18 of the AUX
device 15 via the data input / output terminals 40c and 15b. The VR level of the main level
setting is transferred (step S29).
[0076]
That is, the subwoofer speaker 42a of the speaker system 42 connected to the main device 40
outputs the subwoofer sound output level set by the second VR operation key 41b during the
10-05-2019
17
SUB mode of the first operation key 41a and connects to the AUX device 15 The main sound
output set by the second VR operation key 41b is outputted from the speaker 19 in the VOL
mode of the first operation key 41a.
[0077]
When the auxiliary device 15 is not connected to the main device 40 (step S23), the
microcomputer 13 determines that the sound system device is configured only by the main
device 40, and sets the subwoofer sound output of the main device 40. Even if the second VR
operation key 41b is operated while the first VR operation key 41a is set to the SUB mode, the
VR level setting is performed even if the SUB mode setting function of the first VR operation key
41a is disabled. Absent.
[0078]
When the second VR operation key 41b for setting the VR level of the main sound output is
operated when the first operation key 41a is set to the VOL mode (step S30), the microcomputer
13 selects the second VR operation key 41b. The main VR level is set by the operation data of
(step S31), and the VR level data of the main level setting is transferred to the VR circuit 12 (step
S32).
[0079]
That is, the main sound output adjusted by the VR circuit 12 can be output from the speaker
system 42 connected to the main device 40.
[0080]
As described above, at the moment when the AUX device 15 is connected to the main device 40
as an audio system device, the subwoofer sound output level can be automatically set by the VR
circuit 12 of the main device 40, and the subwoofer sound output from the subwoofer speaker
42a The main audio output level can be set by the VR circuit 16 of the auxiliary device 15 at the
same time, and the main audio output can be automatically output from the speaker 19. The user
can easily output the subwoofer speaker 42a and the main audio. The output of the output
speaker 19 can be adjusted independently to listen to better quality sound output.
[0081]
In the above, the level setting of each VR circuit of the sound system device (FIG. 2) connecting
the main device 10 and the AUX device 15 or the sound system device (FIG. 6) connecting the
main device 40 and the AUX device 15 has been described. Furthermore, the functions of the

present invention can be applied to other sound system devices that use a plurality of sound
devices connected in various ways, and the application of the present invention is applied to
more complicated and diversified sound system devices. You can enjoy more effective quality
sound output with easy equipment handling.
[0082]
As described above, when the audio system device according to the present invention is
connected to output the output signal of the VR circuit 12 of the main device 10 to the speaker
19 through the VR circuit 16 of the auxiliary device 15, the main system 10 Since the VR circuit
12 of the device 10 is automatically set to the non-attenuation output, the sound signal level
supplied from the main device 10 to the AUX device 15 is supplied at a large voltage level. The S
/ N ratio of the noise can be kept large, and an increase in the noise signal due to the amplifier
17 can be prevented, and a good S / N signal output can be obtained from the speaker 19.
[0083]
If the level of the sound signal supplied from the main device 10 is too low despite the nonattenuation output of the VR circuit 12, the amplifier 17 of the AUX device 15 performs
amplification correction to increase the output from the speaker 19 It has the effect of being able
to
[0084]
Furthermore, the user's handling of the use of the VR circuits 12 and 16 connected in series as
described above does not have to be described in detail in the instruction manual or the like, and
the user can easily use the acoustic system at the time of connection without awareness. There is
also the effect that you can enjoy higher quality sound output.
[0085]
Also, when the connection between the main device 40 and the auxiliary device 15 is detected or
the connection state is detected, the subwoofer sound output is controlled by the VR circuit 12 of
the main device 40 automatically without setting operation by the user one by one, and the AUX
device Since the main audio output can be controlled independently by the 15 VR circuits 16,
two VR circuits 61 and 62 as in the conventional example are not required as in the conventional
audio system equipment, and one VR can be eliminated. There is an effect that it can be
configured by the circuit 12, and furthermore, there is also an effect that the output level setting
of the sound system can be easily performed and the user will not be lost in handling.

Furthermore, since the VR level of each VR circuit 12, 16 can be automatically transferred and
set, the main sound output and subwoofer sound output of the sound system can be output more
effectively, and the sound of better quality can be obtained. There is an effect that an output can
be obtained.
[0087]
Furthermore, the setting control function of each VR circuit 12, 16 by the connection of the
sound system is largely dependent on the software of the built-in microcomputer 13, 18 and the
function can be improved without raising the cost. It has excellent features such as being easy to
