Video disc player having time base variations eliminated in both audio and video signals

摘要

A video disc player in which undesirable frequency variations in reproduced video and audio signals due to absence of the color burst signal during the vertical retrace time are eliminated. A first control unit actuates a tangential mirror driver unit in response to a phase difference produced by comparing a horizontal synchronizing signal from the reproduced video signal with a reference color subcarrier signal. The video signal is delayed by an electronically-controlled variable delay line the delay time of which is set on accordance with a phase difference between the color burst signal and a reference horizontal synchronizing signal.
