In a reproducing apparatus of the present invention, an input audio signal is divided into bands and an envelope value of each band is measured. Based on a change of the envelope value, a predetermined sound source is superimposed. Further, according to the envelope value of a reproduced audio signal, a tempo of reproduced music is detected and animation representation is changed in synchronism with the detected tempo. Further, a rhythm box is reproduced in synchronism with the detected tempo an...

A reproducing apparatus for reproducing an information signal recorded on a recording medium is provided with a reproducing part arranged to reproduce the information signal recorded on the recording medium and to output the reproduced information signal, a muting circuit for muting the information signal outputted from the reproducing part, a detecting circuit for detecting the level of a noise component included in the information signal outputted from the reproducing part, and a control part ...

High fidelity combination of low-bulk bass signal reproducer with novel upper range reproducer. Bass reproducer is box whose height, width and depth are each between about 15 and about 21 inches, the bottom of the box being essentially open and fitted with spaced feet on which the box can stand on a pile rug without materially blocking the emergence of sound generated within the box, the top and all sides of the box being essentially imperforate essentially rigid walls which essentially do not t...

An electrophotographic reproducing machine having a photoconductive belt, a fixed platen for supporting an original document, and a translatable carriage having, fixedly mounted thereon in fixed relation to each other, a corona generating device for charging the belt, a document scanner for scanning the document on the platen and producing a latent image thereof on the belt, a transfer device for transferring the latent image from the belt to a dielectric sheet, and a roller about which the belt...

A copying machine includes an optical sensor of the line scanning type for converting an image into electrical signals, a thermal recording head controlled in accordance with the image signals, and a heat-sensitive paper web on which the image is formed by heat generated from the thermal recording head. The platen moves with respect to the read unit and the read unit will read in both forward and reverse directions of the platen, and the magnification value can be varied. The total width of ener...

A reproducing apparatus wherein a frame is divided into an upper frame having an image retainer and a developing device arranged near the image retainer for developing with toner a latent image on the image retainer, and a lower frame engaging at one portion thereof with the upper frame, and the upper frame is movable relative to the lower frame. When the upper frame is in a displaced state a pressing device for pressing the developing device to the adjacent place of the surface of the image ret...

In a magneto-optic disc apparatus corresponding to six-value four-status Viterbi decoding method, an RAA has 12 registers so as to separately adapt amplitude reference values for an address portion and amplitude reference values for a data portion on a magneto-optic disc. Normally, stored values of the registers at the time a reproducing operation has been just completed are used for initial values for an adapting process in the next reproducing operation. On the other hand, when data cannot be ...

A reproducing apparatus for reproducing signals from a record bearing medium on which a video signal or some other signal is recorded in a plurality of blocks is provided with discriminating unit for determining at least whether the signal recorded in each of the blocks is a video signal or some other signal; storing unit for storing the result of discrimination made by the discriminating unit; reproducing unit for selectively reproducing the records of the blocks on the basis of information obt...

An apparatus for reproducing information signals from a record bearing medium having the information signals recorded together with different pilot signals which are repeatedly recorded, one after another, in a plurality of recording tracks. The apparatus includes a reproducing device arranged to trace the recording tracks on the record bearing medium; a reference signal generating device for generating reference signals which have frequencies corresponding to the pilot signals; a detection sign...

A reproducing apparatus displays representative images of clips recorded on a recording medium in list form, reproduces part of data after a front end of the clip corresponding to the representative image selected from among the displayed representative images from the recording medium to store the part of the data in a memory, and starts readout of the part of data stored in the memory in response to a reproduction start instruction.
