Abstract

According to an aspect, to realize a transient correction circuit capable of performing a high-speed operation without being affected by low-frequency noise and allow to remove only the low-frequency noise without changing a reproducing waveform, an output from a HPF for removing the low-frequency noise of a reproduced signal is supplied to a waveform correction circuit for correcting the transient of the reproduced signal, which is generated by the HPF. The waveform correction circuit is constituted by a LPF, an adder for adding an output from the LPF and the output from the HPF, and a quantization circuit for quantizing an output from the adder. The HPF and the LPF have the same time constant. According to another aspect, to precisely compensate a DC component necessary for signal reproduction, which is lost by capacitive coupling, in reproduction of a signal recorded by high-density or high-transfer recording, the low-frequency component of the reproduced signal is removed by a HPF corresponding to a coupling capacitor. A comparison circuit compares an output from the HPF with a predetermined reference level by a comparator, thereby generating a binary output. A LPF performs time integration of the binary output through a gain adjustment circuit. An output whose sag is corrected is calculated by an operational amplifier according to the output from the LPF and the HPF.
