Abstract
A digital signal reproducing apparatus comprises reproducing elements for reproducing digital signals from tracks of a magnetic tape having a guard band separating each of two adjacent tracks, which reproducing elements are arranged equidistant from each other along the tape width direction over a range which includes all of the tracks and guard bands, a parallel-to-serial converter supplied in parallel with outputs of the reproducing elements for performing a serial-to-parallel conversion and for producing a serial reproduced signal, a controller supplied with the serial reproduced signal for detecting a reproduced signal of a first track and for producing a pulse corresponding to the first track during a time period in which the outputs of those reproducing elements corresponding to a substantially uniform part of a magnetic field intensity distribution of the first track are obtained, which controller time-sequentially produces pulses corresponding to each of the tracks with a period corresponding to the track pitch, and an output circuit responsive to the output pulses of the controller for obtaining reproduced signals of the tracks and independently producing the reproduced signals of the tracks.
