Controlling Audio Volume & Tone with a Remote Control

By

 

Here is the project of controlling audio volume and audio tone (bass and treble) with a remote control designed using microcontroller AT89S52.It is a mono audio controller and to make it stereo similar circuits have to be made for the both LEFT and RIGHT channels. I have not connected the components in a PCB but I have tested the circuit in breadboard. It is working well.
 
COMPONENTS
1.         MICROCONTROLLER , AT89S52
2.         INFRARED RECEIVER, TSOP1738
3.         NPN TRANSISTORS
4.         CAPACITORS 
5.         RESISTORS
6.         POWER SUPPLY (+5V, +12V) DC
7.         CRYSTAL (11.0592 MHz)
 
The need of number of NPN TRANSISTORS, CAPACITORS, RESISTORS depend on the application of number of controls i.e. volume, bass or treble or all the three. Circuit for Controlling audio volume and tone using microcontroller
 

Volume Controller

 
OPERATION
VOLUME CONTROLLER
The input to the volume controller is an analog audio signal from sources like ipod, laptop, PC, microphone etc. The analog output should be fed to an audio amplifier. For each bit coming from the microcontroller at the base of each transistor, the resistor series is short circuited thus reducing the overall resistance between analog input terminal and analog output terminal. volume controller
 

Bass and Treble Controller

 
BASS AND TREBLE CONTROLLER
The circuit consists of a small signal audio amplifier with a feedback circuit. The controlling of bass (in case of bass controller) and treble (in case of treble controller) is done in the feedback part of the respective circuit. Here also analog input signals may be from the sources mentioned above.
Bass ControllerTrebble Controller
For controlling of all the three features at the same with the microcontroller, the output of the volume controller SHOULD be given as input to both the bass and treble controller and the output of the bass and treble controller are tied together and fed to an audio amplifier.
If any of the three controls i.e. volume, bass and treble is not to be used then the respective pins of the microcontroller should be left disconnected. 
 

Power Supply & Remote Control

 
POWER SUPPLY
During my experiment I have used both LMPS and SMPS as power supply but LMPS seems to be noise proof than SMPS. So I recommend to use LMPS specifically for this project.
 
REMOTE CONTROL
I have used a SAMSUNG DVD PLAYER REMOTE CONTROL. The model number is AH5900020E. The controls are arranged like among the lower buttons the left (decrease) & right (increase) are for BASS and up (increase) & down (decrease) are for TREBLE and the middle button is dedicated to MUTE. The buttons above them are for VOLUME, left for decrease & right for increase
Any remote control can be used with changes in the microcontroller program.
