A digital equalizer has a digital filter. The digital filter is supplied with a digital input signal which corresponds to a multiplex signal composed of a plurality of signal components that are different in amplitude or phase and have the same frequency, and effects a computational digital filtering process on the supplied digital input signal. The digital filter is connected to a feedback circuit. The feedback circuit compares an output signal from the digital filter with a predetermined reference value signal. The feedback circuit has a multiplier which multiplies the output signal from the digital filter by a coefficient signal corresponding to an error of the output signal with respect to the predetermined reference value signal. Based on an output signal from the multiplier, the feedback circuit controls the amplitude of the output signal from the digital filter so as to be constant.

Digital equalizer and FM receiver having same

A double-sided reproducing disk player wherein reduction in size and simplification in structure of a carriage can be attained and reduction in number of parts and simplification in construction of the entire arrangement can be attained to attain reduction in overall size and also in production cost. The player comprises upper and lower face guide mechanisms for guiding a carriage, on which an optical pickup is carried, along upper and lower surfaces of a disk, respectively. The upper and lower face guide mechanisms are carried on a carrying device which is supported for tilting motion on a stationary frame of the player, and the tilt angle of the carrying device with respect to the stationary frame is adjusted by a tilt angle adjusting device. The tilt angle adjusting device includes an eccentric member on the stationary frame and a spring for biasing the carrying device into cooperation with the eccentric member. The eccentric member is rotated by a motor in response to a tilt angle of the carrying device detected by a tile angle detecting sensor.

A digital television circuit in which the analog FM video signal is first digitized and all processing is performed digitally, including FM demodulation. Clocks at the subcarrier frequency and four times this frequency are synchronized with the horizontal synchronizing circuit or color burst signal.
