Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de reproduction tel qu'un lecteur de disque dur comprenant un circuit de traitement des signaux servant à reproduire les données par traitement des signaux provenant d'une tête. Le circuit de traitement des signaux présente trois modes de fonctionnement, à savoir le mode arrêt dans lequel le lecteur est au repos, le mode normal dans lequel le lecteur reproduit les données et le mode en veilleuse dans lequel le lecteur fonctionne mais les données ne sont pas reproduites. En mode arrêt, le lecteur et le circuit de traitement des signaux sont éteints ou ne sont pas alimentés en électricité; en mode normal le lecteur et le circuit de traitement des signaux sont alimentés en électricité normalement et en mode en veilleuse, le circuit analogique logé dans le circuit de traitement des signaux est alimenté en électricité à une tension plus basse que la normale.
