sound sources can be distinguished when listening to the
binaural recorded programs through headphones. The
human distinguishes the direction and distance of sound
sources by level difference and time lag of sounds which
propagate to both ears.

The most important thing is that the binaural programs
should be reproduced through the headphones, that is,
the left channel sounds should be heard by left ear and
right sound by right ear.
2. BIPHONIC PROCESSOR
The newly developed BIPHONIC system can reproduce
the binaural programs through the speaker systems.
There exists unwanted signals, when reproducing the
binaural programs through the speaker systems, cross-

To improve the binaural effect the crosstalk should be

the reverse phase should be emitted from the right
speaker. The new circuitry ‘‘BIPHONIC PROCESSOR”
has been developed by JVC to cancell the crosstalk and
to reproduce the binaural programs through the speaker
systems.
The model RC-828 is equipped with the IC (Integrated
Circuit) of BIPHONIC PROCESSOR.
The block diagram of BIPHONIC PROCESSOR is shown
in Fig. 3.

Part of signals are added to the opposite channel! through
the equalizer and delay circuit to cancell the crosstalk.
As the level and phase of crosstalk is varied by distance
from the speaker, the listening position at where the
binaural effect is normally obtained is limited.
The optimum listening position of model RC-828 is set
between 60 to 80cm from the speakers.
. EXPANDED PLAYBACK
The BIPHONIC system can expand the sound field of
2-channel stereophonic programs.
Generally, in the 2-channel stereo systems, the sound
field exists between left and right speaker systems.
The sound field expands to the outside area of speaker
systems when the 2-channel stereo programs are
reproduced through the BIPHONIC PROCESSOR.
This effect is named “EXPANDED PLAYBACK”.

The BIPHONIC PROCESSOR also widens the sound
field of 2-channel stereo programs in listening through
the headphones, this is named “STEREO WIDE PLAY-
