Abstract

In a video disc system, geometric variations are recorded on the surface of the record and are representative of recorded picture and sound information. In a video disc playback apparatus for recovering picture and sound information from such a prerecorded record, a playback stylus is utilized to detect the geometric variations. Sound interference in the video signals may be produced by the non-linear characteristics of the playback stylus. A non-linear aperture correction circuit interposed between the playback stylus and the demodulator circuitry of the playback apparatus effects a substantial control of the intermodulation products.
