Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus having a capability of allowing contents of records on a magnetic tape to be discriminatively identified and a capability for displaying closed caption includes a tape map memory for storing contents recorded on a tape and a tape map controller. As a manual input facility, a tape map button, a caption button, a play-back button, a stop button and others are provided. Upon loading of a tape undergone recording(s), the tape map button is pushed to display on a monitor screen tape map information concerning the contents of program(s) recorded on the loaded tape, temporal duration(s) of the program(s), and history of play-back of the tape.

Abstract: A color picture signal processing circuit, a filter circuit and a luminance/carrier chrominance signal separation circuit implemented by employing the filter circuit. The circuit processing signal includes an adaptive-type (C) comb line filter through which the luminance signal is caused to pass. The output of the filter undergoes amplitude limitation in a limiter circuit, the output of which is subtracted from the original luminance signal. The carrier chrominance signal is added to the luminance signal to obtain a composite picture signal.

Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproducing circuit system which comprises an amplitude control circuit and wherein a video recording signal and voice recording signal are supplied to a magnetic head to be written as superimposed on surface and deep layers of a magnetic recording medium in a record mode and to be reproduced from the recording medium in a reproduction mode. In the record mode, the amplitude control circuit detects an ambient temperature and controls a current value indicative of the video recording signal to be optimum for the detected temperature. As a result, in the reproduction mode, a reproduction video signal can be substantially stabilized regardless of a variation in the ambient temperature.

Abstract: A waveform equalization method whereby a transversal filter having 5 or more tapes is included, and a difference signal output, which is obtained when an isolated impulse response waveform of a digital modulated signal is inputted to the above described filter and the output of the filter is inputted to an adder, is allowed to have intersymbol interference at .+-.T/2 with respect to the central axis time and has zero outputs at .+-.nT/2 (where n.gtoreq.2 and n is an integer).

Abstract: A demodulation circuit for demodulating a modulated digital including a unit for detecting a specific pattern contained in a series of data before modulation, a unit for judging the phase relation between the specific pattern and a clock pulse used for demodulation, a unit for performing a counting operation on the basis of the result of said judgment, and a unit for controlling the phase of said clock pulse for demodulation on the basis of the count.

Abstract: A device for decoding coded digital signals for every symbol consisting of a plurality of binary signals comprises first circuit for generating a first reliability for every binary signal; hard decided from the received or reproduced signal, in the symbol and second circuit for generating a second reliability for every symbol consisting of n binary signals on the basis of the first reliability, whereby decoding processing e.g. soft decision decoding is effected for every signal, depending on the second reliability.
