Note that "DEBUG" mode is not function compatible with the default way the VRC7 is wired; nukeykt says that “in debug mode VRC7 changes its pinout: Pin 4 -> /CS, Pin 27 -> /IC, Pin 28 -> /WE, Pin 19 -> A0. Also at least pins 2 and 47 somehow affect debug mode”. For more information on debug mode, see [[VRC7_audio#Debug_Mode|VRC7 audio: Debug Mode]]
When the DEBUG pin is tied low, several pins change function:

 01,02: The OR gate on pins 1, 2, and 48 was intended for a 28-pin 
         128KiB CHR ROM, but TTA2 doesn't use it. Perhaps it's too slow?
         This can be considered a general-purpose OR gate when not in debug mode.
 17,18: missing on TTA2, 3.58MHz ceramic resonator on LP
         Note: LP uses a 3-pin resonator, presumably with built-in loading caps.
         An equivalent 2-pin quartz resonator will require loading caps approx. 18pF.

Expansion audio mixing circuit:[1]
   The audio is mixed through a ceramic daughterboard with a 9 pin SIP connector. Pins 4-6 are unconnected,
    since they were primarily used for laser trimming the resistors during production.

Equivalent circuit schematic:
   The daughterboard uses a dual op-amp for amplification. Only one amplifier is used.
