Abstract:
A system comprising:a reproducing device for reproducing color television signals recorded on a record carrier, said reproducing device comprising a deck unit for driving a record carrier loadable into the reproducing device and for reproducing, by at least one reproducing head, the color television signals recorded in adjacent track portions on the record carrier; and an entry unit for activating at least one normal reproducing mode, in which the at least one reproducing head scans the record carrier along the adjacent track portions, and at least one special reproducing mode, in which the at least one reproducing head scans the record carrier across adjacent track portions;a color television receiving device for displaying color television signals, said color television receiving device comprising a color-television-signal-processing unit, which includes a color signal demodulator for demodulating the color signal of the reproduced color television signals with the aid of switching information in order to preclude color sequence errors in a demodulated color signal, and a switching information generating unit for generating the switching information; anda control information generating unit for generating control information upon an occurrence of a discontinuity in a reproduced color television signal, said control information initiating a correction of color sequence errors in a reproduced color signal, characterized in that the control information generating unit of the system is connected to cooperate with the switching information generating unit of the color television receiving device, and in that the control information from the control information generating unit is processed in the switching information generating unit, the switching information generated by the switching information generating unit being influenced by the control information.
