Abstract
A system for compensating misalignment between information represented by transitions in a data bearing medium and a played back signal, the played back signal having consecutive opposite-polarity peaks corresponding to said data transitions, which system comprises a low-pass filter, which receives a signal from a non-linear element, preferably a pulse forming circuit, into which has been introduced the misaligned played back signal, and circuitry for converting the filtered signal to a series of pulses representative of the data transitions, which pulses have reduced misalignment with respect to the data transitions.
