A head arrangement and head offset are set so that the track pattern continuously recorded on a continuously running tape will be ordered in the sequence of recording when taken along the time dimension. In intermittent-feed still-speed recording, recording information is divided for recording, and the magnetic tape is fed momentarily by a distance equal to the tape amount recorded. In a helical scan magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus, intermittent still-speed recording is performed at prescribed intervals of time, and playback is performed with conditions that satisfy .vertline.v.vertline..ltoreq.r/N (N: positive integer, v: real number, r: positive real number) when the magnetic tape is played back at a speed v times as fast as normal playback speed and the rotary drum is rotated for playback at a speed r times as fast as recording speed. A digital playback head and an analog playback head are mounted on the same rotary drum, and the playback mode is automatically switched to play back a tape on which both analog and digital signals are recorded.

In a projector having liquid crystal panels as light modulators, the liquid crystal panels are independently used for white-light modulation and colored-light modulation, respectively, so that high luminance and high resolution are compatibly attained. The projector has a liquid crystal panel which is driven by color signals, and which subjects light to colored-light modulation, and another liquid crystal panel which is driven by a luminance signal wherein a portion lower than a predetermined level is compressed by a compressing circuit, and which subjects light to white-light modulation. Modulated light outputted from the two liquid crystal panels are synthesized with each other in a polarized beam splitter, and the image of the synthesized light is formed on a screen by a lens. It is preferable that the color signal and the white signal which will be inputted to the liquid crystal panels are obtained from a composite video signal of the NTSC system.

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus wherein synchronizing separation of a reproduction video signal can be performed accurately and a stabilized reproduction video signal can be obtained. The magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus includes a switch device for selectively inserting, upon recording, a PCM modulated audio signal into a blanking period of an FM modulated video signal, a PCM region signal generator for identifying a region of a PCM modulated audio signal in a reproduction signal reproduced by a rotary head and generating a control signal representative of a PCM audio signal region, an FM demodulator for FM demodulating a reproduction signal from the rotary head into a reproduction FM demodulation signal, and a clip circuit for clipping a lower end portion of a PCM audio signal region of a reproduction FM demodulation signal from the FM demodulator in accordance with a control signal generated from the PCM region signal generator.

Codewords with CDS=0 are mapped in corresponding relationship to datawords, and codewords with CDS&gt;0 and codewords with CDS&lt;0 are paired together and mapped in corresponding relationship to the remaining datawords, and further, codewords with CDS.noteq.0, left unmapped, are mapped in corresponding relationship to the datawords to which the codewords with CDS=0 have been mapped, thus reducing the probability of occurrence of codewords with large DSV in absolute value terms and thereby achieving a further suppression of low-frequency components. Based on the least significant bit of the codeword corresponding to the last dataword and on the current and next datawords, a codeword corresponding to the current dataword is selected, thus realizing high-density recording with good overwrite characteristics.

A video signal clamping circuit capable of maintaining a DC level of a digital video signal at a fixed level, in which a pedestal level in a vertical blanking period of the digital video signal after an A/D conversion is sampled, and an average value of a plurality of sampling data in a plurality of fields is calculated by an average value calculator. The average value is compared with a predetermined clamp level reference value by a comparison output circuit, and depending on the comparison result, a signal either added or subtracted by a certain width to or from an output signal of a predetermined period before is output for automatically controlling a clamp voltage.
