The recorded video signal is reproduced by mixing adjacent horizontal line signals to reduce crosstalk level. A disabling circuit is provided to disable the VIR correction circuit when the receiver is switched to the output of the video tape recorder in playback mode to prevent false VIR signals due to the mixing from affecting the reproduced colors.
