  • Patent number: 5151792
    Abstract: A chrominance signal reproducing circuit reproduces a chrominance signal with reduced crosstalk, as by using a comb filter, and a luminance signal reproducing circuit reproduces a luminance signal. The reproduced luminance signal is delayed by a horizontal line interval and a difference signal is produced representing a difference between the delayed and undelayed luminance signals. A summing circuit sums the difference signal with the delayed luminance signal to produce a crosstalk-eliminated delayed luminance output signal.

  • Patent number: 4509155
    Abstract: In a circuit arrangement for a disk player of the type arranged to reproduce information prerecorded in the form of pits, a variable gain circuit for changing the frequency characteristic of the reproduced signal is provided. The level of the reproduced signal is detected at high and low frequencies so as to produce a control signal the voltage of which varies in accordance with the difference between the level of the high frequency signal component and the level of the low frequency component. The control signal is then applied to the variable gain circuit receiving the reproduced signal so that the frequency characteristic of the reproduced signal will be controlled. Thus, the level of the reproduced signal is boosted at its high frequency range.
