Abstract
A disk type record playback device having a wobble signal extracting bandpass filter for controlling a filter's center frequency according to a frequency follow-up control loop including a dummy filter identical in configuration to a filter to be controlled, and a phase comparator is capable of controlling the center frequency of the bandpass filter with satisfactory accuracy. A frequency variable lowpass filter is provided in a preceding stage of the phase comparator constituting a frequency follow-up circuit and supplies a signal obtained by eliminating harmonic components from a frequency follow-up clock signal to the phase comparator. A cutoff frequency of the lowpass filter is changed in cooperation with a center frequency of the bandpass filter, based on a signal outputted from the frequency follow-up control loop.
