Abstract

A synchronizing signal detecting circuit is used in a digital signal transmitting system which transmits a digital signal in which signals are time-sequentially multiplexed in terms of blocks, where each of the blocks are made up of digital data which are information signals subjected to a digital modulation, a synchronizing signal having a fixed pattern, and an error checking code arranged at a location separated from a location of the synchronizing signal by a predetermined number of bits. The synchronizing signal detecting circuit comprises a counter which is reset when a synchronizing signal detection output which has been discriminated as being correct by use of the error checking code is continuously obtained for N times, where N is a natural number greater than or equal to two.
