In a record disc reproducing apparatus, an abnormal sound eliminating system comprises a variable filter in the transmission system for a signal reproduced from a record disc. The filter does not pass the signal band, which is variable. A control signal generator produces a control signal in accordance with the frequency of a carrier wave reproduced from a multichannel record disc. The non-passed signal band of the variable filter is variably controlled by the control signal from the control signal generator, to eliminate a carrier wave reproduced with a frequency lower than a specific frequency. This low frequency wave appears when the multichannel record disc rotates at a low speed, less than a specific normal rotational speed. This limitation prevents the generation of abnormal sound due to the reproduced carrier wave of low frequency.
An abnormal sound eliminating system for use in a record disc reproducing apparatus, said system comprising control signal generating means operated responsive to a multiplex signal of an angle-modulated wave signal and a direct wave signal picked up from a record disc on which the multiplex signals are recorded, said generating means producing a control signal having voltage which increases responsive to an increase of frequency of the carrier wave of the angle-modulated wave up to a predetermined frequency, low-pass filter means having a variable cut-off frequency, and means responsive to said control signal for controlling the cut-off frequency of said low-pass filter means, said cut-off frequency becoming higher as the voltage of the control signal increases and being lower than the frequency of the carrier wave while the frequency of the carrier wave is lower than the predetermined frequency, whereby said low-pass filter means responds to the multiplex signals picked up from the record disc and eliminates at least the carrier wave when it is reproduced from a record disc rotating at a speed which is lower than a specified rate.
