Abstract

Apparatus for processing signals having time base variations comprises: time base variation correction circuitry for correcting time-base variations existing in a signal input thereto and having an input terminal and an output terminal, the output terminal providing signals which are time base variation corrected; a recording and/or reproducing unit having an input terminal for receiving a signal to be recorded on a recording medium and an output terminal for providing a signal reproduced from the recording medium; and switch circuitry operable in a recording mode for connecting the output terminal of the time base variation correction circuitry to the input terminal of the recording and/or reproducing unit and in a reproducing mode for connecting the output terminal of the recording and/or reproducing unit to the input terminal of the time base variation correcting circuitry. The processing apparatus is further adapted for processing for recording a first signal having time base variations therein or a second signal not having time base variations therein, wherein in the processing of the second signal, the time base variation correction circuitry is bypassed and the second signal is furnished directly to a recording unit.
