A tape recorder comprises, in its signal recording path, a variable gain circuit compensating the sound recording sensitivity of a magnetic tape and two variable equalizers compensating the frequency characteristic of the magnetic tape in the intermediate and high frequency ranges respectively. Reference signals at three different frequencies are successively supplied to the signal recording path to be recorded on the magnetic tape, and the signals of different reference frequencies are successively reproduced from the magnetic tape to be then arithmetically processed so as to optimize the gain of the variable gain circuit and the degree of frequency characteristic compensation by the first and second variable equalizers.

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a source for producing test signals, a variable-gain amplifier, an equalizer, a recording bias generating circuit, a control unit for supplying control signals to the amplifier, equalizer and recording bias generating circuit, a memory and an operating circuit unit. The apparatus is automatically adjusted to each individual magnetic tape in use in such a manner that: a first test signal from the source is recorded on a magnetic tape with a preset bias control signal, the recorded first test signal is reproduced, the bias control signal is adjusted to provide a maximum HF saturation level and a minimum distortion to thereby determine an optimum bias control signal, and the proper bias control signal is fixed for said bias generating circuit; another test signal from the source is recorded on the magnetic tape with a preset gain control signal, the recorded other test signal is reproduced and is compared with a reference value at the operating circuit unit to provide an error signal, and the resulting error signal is fed through the memory to the control unit to renew the preset gain control signal for said amplifier. The adjustment of the frequency response control signal for the equalizer is effected in the same manner as the adjustment of the gain control signal.

A tracking servo system for a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus uses a flexible magnetic disk having thereon at least first, second and third tracks each of which includes a data track portion and a pair of servo track portions located on both sides of the data track portion. Tracking signals having different frequencies are recorded on the first, second and third servo track pairs. Servo and data heads are formed in a unitary structure. When the data head records an information signal on the second data track portion or reads out the recorded information signal therefrom, the servo head reads out the tracking signals recorded on the first and third servo track portions.

An alarm device for a vehicle comprises sensors for detecting abnormal states of the vehicle, a logic circuit for receiving the outputs of the sensors and producing one or more alarm speech designation signals and an alarm speech generator responsive to the alarm designation signal. The logic circuit includes a priority circuit for determining the order of precedence of the abnormal states represented by the detection signals on the basis of the degree of emergency, so that the alarm speech is concerned with the most emergent alarm when two or more abnormal states are detected simultaneously. The logic circuit may further include a switch circuit for disabling at least one of the detection signals so that a vehicle driver having taken notice of particular alarms is not disturbed by excessive alarming.

A magnetic head suitable for use in a magnetic disk. In a magnetic head in accordance with the present invention, a read/write head and an erase head are placed side by side in the rotation direction of the magnetic disk. A gap in the read/write head is placed at a distance of l from a pair of gaps in the erase head.

The same input signal is applied to each of the bases of a pair of amplifying transistors, while an output signal is produced at the emitter of one of the pair of transistors. The collector of the one transistor is connected to the emitter of the other transistor. The junction point between the collector of the one transistor and the emitter of the other transistor is connected through a diode to a first DC power source of low voltage. A second power source of high voltage is connected to the collector of the other transistor, thereby selectively supplying electric power to the one transistor in accordance with the signal level of the input signal. An inductance element is connected in series with the diode to generate a counter electromotive force to prevent a reverse current from flowing through the diode during the cut-off state of the diode, thus providing a highly efficient amplifier with little distortion.

In a push-pull power amplifier which amplifies an audio-frequency signal supplied thereto and supplies its output signal to a load, a pair of output transistors constituting the push-pull circuit are alternately turned on and off according to the polarity of the input signal. In the power amplifier, current flowing through the current path leading from a DC power source to each of the output transistors includes many harmonic components besides its fundamental wave component. These harmonic components of current are introduced through a stray magnetic field into the signal path in the power amplifier thereby producing distortion of the signal supplied to the load. To prevent this signal distortion, the signal path of the audio-frequency signal is magnetically coupled to the current paths from the DC power source, so that the harmonic components of current flowing through the current paths can be supplied to the signal path with the phase and the signal level which cancel the harmonic components of current introduced into the signal path through the stray magnetic field thereby minimizing distortion of the amplifier output signal.

A source follower circuit using at least one FET in which an end of a resistor element is connected to the gate terminal of the FET and the other end of the resistor element is connected to a signal source which generates a comparatively large AC input signal. The resistance of the resistor element is determined to be at such a value as to prevent oscillation of the FET which is likely to occur depending on the length of the wiring between the signal source and gate terminal and the length of wiring between the source terminal and a load.

An audio frequency power amplifier wherein an input signal is applied to respective input electrodes of a pair of transistors of the same conductivity type to produce an output signal at an output electrode of one of the pair of transistors. A common electrode of the one transistor is connected with an output electrode of the other transistor and a power from a first D.C. power supply is supplied to the junction thereof through a diode while a power is supplied to a common electrode of the other transistor from a second D.C. power supply having a higher voltage than that of the first D.C. power supply. The other transistor and the diode are alternately rendered conductive and non-conductive in response to the signal level of the input signal, a capacitor is connected to the input electrode of the other transistor, which capacitor is charged during the turn-off of the other transistor whereby the charge is supplied to the other transistor upon turning on of the other transistor to shorten the rise time.
