Abstract
A digital information reproducing apparatus using rotary heads that reproduces digital information signals recorded on a magnetic tape using magneto resistive heads installed on a rotary drum. The apparatus includes, in the fixed side of the apparatus, a magnetic tape checking circuit that checks the type of the magnetic tape; and a control signal generation circuit that generates a control signal for controlling the gain of a reproduction amplifier circuit; and on the rotary drum, a decoder circuit that identifies the control signal transmitted from the control signal generation circuit. The control signal generation circuit generates the control signal based on a checking result given by the magnetic tape checking circuit, and the decoder circuit identifies the transmitted control signal to control the gain of the reproduction amplifier circuit.
