Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting defects in signals produced by the read-out of information recorded upon a data carrier. The defects correspond either to an abnormally high frequency or to an abnormally low frequency. Detection is achieved by means of one, two or three monostable switching circuits supplied with trigger pulses originating from squared read-out signals. The signal produced by the last monostable switching circuit is used for controlling a defect correcting circuit.
