Digital information system, digital audio signal processor and signal converter.

摘要

In a digital information system for realizing the sale of information or the like having a commercial value in the form of a digital signal, and an audio processor, and signal processor suitably used with the system, when a digital signal is received/delivered, a digital signal source is connected directly to a player (101) for receiving and storing a specified information, which is reproduced by the player independently. A voice interval of a digital audio signal is processed to realize the slow and fast playback. The system includes a data compressor and a data extender of simple configuration. The value of the digital signal received/delivered can be exhibited directly. A selling system is constructed easily, and the player is simple in configuration and easy to operate by anyone. The fast and slow playback are possible without deteriorating the sound quality, and ripples can be greatly reduced against the digital input signal, thereby making possible a faithful data compression of an acoustic signal or the like by a simple configuration. The self-diagnosis function permits the use of a defective memory chip, thereby leading to a very economical system.
