Abstract: An information reproduction apparatus capable of reducing or eliminating the mute period when a pickup jumps during the reproduction or when a disk is changed in an information reproduction system provided with a disk changer mechanism for selecting one disk from plural disks, or when a disk is forced to change, or an information reproduction apparatus of displaying the time information corresponding to the actual outputting time of information from the output terminal by correcting the time information included in the information read from the recording medium or determined by the recording address, or an information reproduction system provided with a disk changer mechanism capable of checking the contents of other disks during reproduction, or system of reproducing only parts of information which allow to view the contents of all disks.

Abstract: A disc apparatus includes a readout unit, an audio signal output unit, a memory, a switch, and a controller. The readout unit reads out data from a disc wherein the data includes at least digital audio data. The audio signal output unit produces an audio signal output in accordance with the digital audio data. The memory stores the digital audio data read from the disc by the readout unit. The switch switches the digital audio data supplied to the audio signal output unit between the digital audio data stored in the memory and the digital audio data currently being read by the readout unit.

Abstract: A digital signal which is recorded on a recording medium with being encoded is duplicated to another recording medium without being decoded. An audio signal is recorded and/or reproduced using data recorded in a TOG of the recording medium. A first data signal (2-channel audio signal) is intermittently recorded on and/or reproduced from a first area of the recording medium, and a second data signal (other 2-channel audio signal) is intermittently recorded on and/or reproduced from a second area of the recording medium during a period in which the first data signal is not recorded or reproduced.

Abstract: In a method of recording digital information signals to form tracks on a magnetic tape, the samples of the signals to be recorded are divided into a plurality of odd sample groups and a plurality of even samples groups. The groups containing adjacent samples are disposed on differently-numbered regions of different tracks. Error correcting codeword may be recorded in a plurality of tracks. Errors in one region can be corrected or compensated by samples in different tracks or samples in differently-numbered regions.

Abstract: A magnetic recorder/reproducer converts two-channel analog signals into digital signals by a sample-and-hold/A-D converter circuit (3) and controls addresses in a memory circuit (4) by a memory address control circuit (5), to distribute the digital signals into odd sample groups and even sample groups per each channel for arraying the odd sample groups and the even sample groups of the same channel in alternate scanning intervals, thereby to write the same in the memory circuit so that the odd samples and the even samples of the same channel are arrayed in positions separated from each other along the direction of scanning by rotary heads (10, 11). The digital signals thus permutated are modulated by a modulation circuit (7), to be recorded in a magnetic tape by the rotary heads. The digital signals reproduced by the rotary heads are demodulated by a demodulation circuit (14), to be stored in a memory circuit (15).

Abstract: In a satellite communications system, a rotatable 90.degree. phase shifter and a rotatable 180.degree. phase shifter introduce variable phase shifts to a single pilot signal, which is transmitted to the satellite. Downlink cross-polarization interference cancelling control signals are derived from a beacon signal received from the satellite. A pulse sequence is generated to modulate the amplitude of a carrier to produce an ASK signal as the pilot signal. A correlation calculator provides coarse mode interference cancellation by estimating uplink cross-polarization interference components from the downlink cross-polarization cancelling control signals and adjusting the angle settings of the 90.degree. and 180.degree. phase shifters with the estimated components. The pilot signal is transmitted back to the earth and synchronously detected with the pulse sequence to derive a DC signal which represents an uplink cross-polarization interference.
