Abstract

In apparatus for reproducing color video signals recorded in successive parallel tracks on a record medium with the chrominance components of video signals recorded in next adjacent tracks having first and second carriers which differ from each other in respect to their phases or polarity characteristics; and in which a plurality of transducers scan along the tracks one at a time so as to reproduce the video signals recorded in each of said tracks along with cross-talk signals from the tracks next adjacent thereto, means for separating said chrominance signal components from the luminance signal component in the reproduced signals, and a signal processing circuit including a switching circuit and a comb filter provides the separated chrominance components of video signals reproduced from each of said tracks with a common carrier and eliminates therefrom the chrominance components of the cross-talk signals on the basis of said different phases of the first and second carriers with which the chrominance components were recorded in the tracks which are next adjacent to each other: the changing-over of the switching circuit is controlled in response to the phase of the chrominance comp…
