Abstract

Sound information is binarized by delta modulation or adaptive delta modulation. The resulting data is subjected to pulse wide modulation and the resulting data is delivered to a reproducing device, which detects a leading edge of a received signal pulse to produce a self operation timing clock to thereby reproduce a sound. When the reproducing device detects the absence of edges for a predetermined interval after the edge detection, it turns off a power source for an analog circuit to suppress power consumption.
