Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to apparatus for reading back data signals (60, 62) recorded on a recording medium comprising means for generating a string of data pulses (70, 71) representing the recorded data signals, means for determining the time of occurrence of each data pulse, comparison means for comparing the times of occurrence of successive timing pulses, and output means for generating a readback signal formed from a string of output pulses in accordance with the output of the comparison means. According to the invention is apparatus is characterised in that the output means comprises pulse modifying means for modifying any data pulse (67, 69) the leading edge of which occurs less than a predetermined time after the leading edge of the preceding data pulse (70).
