An input signal DT contains a segment synchronization signal compliant with the ATSC standard. A clock multiplication section 111 multiplies a clock CK. A switchable sampling section 112 selects a sample point from among a plurality of timing points that are defined by the multiplied clock, and samples the input signal DT at the selected sample point. Moreover, the switchable sampling section 112 switches sample points from one to another in a synchronization-unestablished state. Once the segment synchronization is established, a synchronization detection device may maintain a synchronization-established state until the field synchronization detection fails, or the synchronization detection device may output a synchronization detection signal after shifting it in the time direction based on a bit error rate RT of the input signal. |
