Abstract: When subcodes included in a CD format are reproduced, jitter is removed when the subcodes are synchronized with signal data. The data is connected together by using the subcode data to prevent interruptions of sound and pictures. An error correction unit performs error correction processing for signal data reproduced (read) from a CD. A memory stores the signal data whose error is corrected and a data output unit reads out the signal data stored in the memory according to a reference clock. A subcode detection/jitter removal unit detects subcode data reproduced from the CD and outputs the subcode data to the memory in synchronism with outputting of the signal data whose error is corrected by the error correction unit, to thereby remove jitter.

Abstract: A magnetic recording medium, comprising a non-magnetic substrate, a magnetic recording layer of a ferromagnetic film on the substrate, and a protective layer on the magnetic recording layer. The protective layer is formed of oxide of an alloy of Co and a metal selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, Mo, Rh, Pd, and Si. The protective layer is preferably formed by deposition from vapor phase of the metal components constituting the alloy in an oxygen atmosphere under a reduced pressure. The protective layer provides for a durability and corrosion resistance to the magnetic recording medium.

Abstract: A piezoelectric audio transducer adapted to produce a sound output when a vibrator which is formed by bonding a piezoelectric element to a metallic diaphragm is electrified, wherein the audio transducer is formed by securely supporting the outer periphery of the vibrator on an acoustic casing, and a fixing part to be fixed to a mounting body is provided on the audio transducer and is connected to the casing with an elastic body interposed therebetween so as to thereby enable the casing which is fixed to the mounting body to vibrate integrally with the vibrator when said vibrator is vibrated.
