A class AD audio amplifier system (10) with reduced noise capability in muting and unmuting events is disclosed. The amplifier system (10) includes multiple audio channels (20), each of which can be constructed to include a pulse-width-modulator (PWM) (24). The PWM modulator (24) includes a pair of comparators (39A, 39B; 52+, 52−) that generate complementary PWM output signals based upon the comparison between a filtered difference signal and a reference waveform. When the system is muted, a common mode voltage (CM_RAMP) is applied to the inputs of the comparators (39A, 39B; 52+ 52−) to suppress the duty cycle at the amplifier output, preferably to a zero duty cycle. In the transition from a muted state to an unmuted state, the common mode voltage (CM_RAMP) is ramped from the suppressing voltage to zero common mode voltage, permitting the duty cycle of the complementary PWM signals to gradually increase, thus reducing clicks and pops. The converse operation is performed in the transition from unmuted to muted. Pulse-width-modulation control logic (26) is also included to ensure that that the PWM “on” and “off” pulses are of at least a minimum duration, and also to generate compensating pulses on the complementary PWM line at low duty cycles.

A method of producing a stretched film comprising melt-coextruding a thermoplastic resin A and a thermoplastic resin B to produce a composite film 1 having both-end films 2 of the thermoplastic resin B arranged in parallel at both end portions of the main film 1a of the thermoplastic resin A in the direction of width thereof, stretching the composite film, and cutting and removing both end portions of the stretched film in the direction of width, wherein a film stretch stress value of the both-end films 2 is larger than a film stretch stress value of the main film 1a at the same stretching ratio. This minimizes an increase in the thickness at both end portions of the film in stretching the film and decreases the widths by which both end portions of the expensive resin film are to be cut and removed for producing a film.

When entering an idling state, a master unit M transmits an optical signal for polling addressed to each slave unit S-1 to S-n. The slave unit S-n located at the lowest rank of a direct chain constituted by S-1 to S-n, when receiving the optical signal for polling for the self unit, responds by transmitting an optical signal representing a phase correction request signal to the other slave units. The slave units S-1 to S-(n−1) respond to the phase correction request signal, and initialize each clock signal to synchronize with the clock signal of the slave unit S-n at the lowest rank.
