Abstract

L'invention porte sur un appareil de reproduction de signaux enregistrés sur un support où les données d'information et les données de synchronisation sont enregistrées en série sur l'une des pistes d'un secteur. Ledit appareil comporte: un moyen de lecture des données d'information et de synchronisation et de création de signaux de reproduction; un moyen de couplage c.a. créant des signaux de reproduction corrigés en sélectionnant une première constante de temps et une deuxième constante de temps supérieure à la première, puis en réalisant le couplage c.a. du signal de reproduction; un moyen de détection émettant un signal fixant les instants où le moyen de lecture lit les données de synchronisation; des moyens de commande des moyens de couplage c.a. pour sélectionner la première constante de temps jusqu'à un deuxième instant survenant un temps déterminé après le premier et fixé en fonction de ce signal de détection, et pour sélectionner la deuxième constante de temps au deuxième instant; un moyen de production d'un signal binaire corrigé de reproduction; et des moyens de démodulation du signal d'information tiré du signal de reproduction binaire corrigé. Les données de synchronisation peuvent être correctement reproduites par une telle configuration simple qui permet de ramener la durée de l'état transitoire à sa durée de données synchronisées tout en évitant l'élimination des composantes c.c. devant être présentes dans les données d'information du signal de reproduction.
