Abstract: In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, a video signal of a high-quality format which has a first given frequency band is recorded on a standard magnetic tape designed to record a video signal of a standard format having a second given frequency band narrower than the first given frequency band. In the magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, a video signal of the high-quality format is reproduced from a standard magnetic tape.

Abstract: A magnetic reproducing apparatus wherein reversal of white peak is reduced in the luminance signal reproducing system. This magnetic reproducing apparatus includes a negative feedback circuit for applying a negative feedback to an input FM signal obtained by reproducing a magnetic recording, and a demodulation circuit responsive to an FM signal outputted from the negative feedback circuit to demodulate it, thus to provide a reproduced luminance signal. The negative feedback circuit includes an amplifier circuit having a non-inverting input terminal to which FM signal or a signal corresponding thereto is delivered, a first limiter circuit for applying amplitude limiting to the output signal from the amplifier circuit, and a delay circuit for delivering, to the amplifier circuit, a delay signal which lags the amplitude limited signal from the first limiter circuit by a phase angle of 90 degrees in the carrier frequency band of the FM signal.

Abstract: In a circuit for removing crosstalk components in a carrier chrominance signal, there are provided a first delay circuit (20), an inverter (21), a first higher-voltage detecting circuit (18), a second delay circuit (22), a second higher-voltage detecting circuit (19), a third higher-voltage detecting circuit (25), a first lower-voltage detecting circuit (23), a second lower-voltage detecting circuit (24), a third lower-voltage detecting circuit (17), and an adder (26) thereby producing a crosstalk-removed carrier chrominance signal. Furthermore, the first delay circuit (20), the inverter (21), and an adder (28) form a comb filter for correcting a time delay due to said circuit for removing crosstalk components in a carrier chrominance signal.
