Abstract:
A helical scan type video signal reproducing apparatus for reproducing a video signal from a magnetic tape wrapped around a rotary drum having magnetic heads mounted thereon, said apparatus comprising:a tape driving controller for controlling driving of said magnetic tape; a reproduced signal processing circuit for processing output signals from said magnetic heads to generate a reproduced video signal; a liquid crystal display circuit for displaying said reproduced video signal; a write controller for writing said reproduced video signal into said liquid crystal display circuit; and a brightness controller for controlling the brightness for said liquid crystal display circuit, wherein said brightness controller controls said liquid crystal display circuit to display a brighter image thereon when said write controller continuously writes said reproduced video signal into said liquid crystal display circuit; and said brightness controller controls said liquid crystal display circuit to display a darker image thereon when said write controller discontinuously writes said reproduced video signal into said liquid crystal display circuit.
