Abstract

Disclosed is a disc or tape signal reproducing apparatus having a first speed control loop in which the duration of a specific pulse in the PCM signal recorded on the disc or tape is detected and the current sync signal interval is anticipated from the duration of the pulse so that the motor speed is pulled into the operation range of the sync signal detector, and a second speed control loop which controls the motor speed basing on the sync signal reproduced by the sync signal detector. The motor speed is controlled by the first speed control loop until the sync signal detector detects the sync signal, thereafter the motor speed is controlled by the second speed control loop basing on the reproduced sync signal.
