A PLL circuit functioning as a clock recovery circuit in a tape recording and playback apparatus employing the PRML method has a level determining circuit for detecting that head output level (signal level) is at or lower than a certain level during track crossing for a high-speed search, and effects a hold on a loop filter according to a level determination output to thereby hold PLL operation, whereby the PLL behavior is not disturbed by a noise component occurring during track crossing. Thus, it is possible to stabilize search operation and increase the design margin.
