Abstract:
A reproducing apparatus comprising:input means for receiving an input video signal reproduced by reproducing means;equalizing means for equalizing the input video signal; error correction means for correcting errors in the reproduced video signal by using an error correction check code added to the reproduced video signal and detecting the errors which cannot be corrected;output means for outputting the video signal equalized by said equalizing means to outside of said apparatus, said apparatus has a first mode during which said equalizing means equalizes the input video signal and said output means outputs a video signal output from said equalizing means to outside of said apparatus and a second mode during which said equalizing means equalizes the input video signal and said output means stops outputting a video signal output from said equalizing means to outside of said apparatus; andcontrol means for adjusting an equalizing characteristic of said equalizing means in the second mode according to the errors detected by said error correction means.
