Abstract
A frequency multiplexing circuit in an optical video disc recorder frequency-multiplexes a second signal comprising a digital sound signal on the low frequency band of a first signal comprising a frequency-modulated video signal to generate a recording signal. In addition, the recording signal is applied to a limiter to be limited. In this case, a noise component produced in a band of the second signal is extracted by using a Bessel filter and a subtractor and previously subtracted from the recording signal generated by frequency multiplexing. The recording signal including a negative noise component is applied to the limiter, so that harmonic noise and linear distortion noise essentially produced in an output of the limiter can be cancelled. Furthermore, a slice level of the limiter is suitably adjusted, so that asymmetrical noise in the output of the limiter can be also eliminated.
