Abstract
An apparatus for automatically reproducing recorded signals from a rotary recording medium, in accordance with the mode in which signals were recorded. The reproducing apparatus comprises a micro-computer which produces a two-bit mode control signal and a one-bit muting signal. The one-bit muting signal puts one of two processing circuits in a non-operational state, so that the other of the two processing circuits can perform the signal processing in accordance with the mode specified by the two-bit mode control signal. Four codes constituted by the two-bit mode control signal are commonly used to specify four reproducing modes of a video rotary recording medium and four reproducing modes of an audio rotary recording medium.
