Abstract

Abstract A magnetic disc reproducing apparatus, for reproducing information signals from one of a plurality of tracks of a magnetic disc, includes a transducer (21) positioned in transducing relation with the plurality of tracks for reading out the information signals of the tracks, a checking circuit (45, 52) connected to the transducer (21) for checking a portion of the information signals, and an identifying circuit (53) connected to the checking circuit (45, 52) for identifying characteristics of the information signals being reproduced.
