ABSTRACT:
A digital signal attenuation circuit for a CD-I player, specially designed to digitally attenuate an audio signal read-out from a CD-I disc, which comprises a 1/6 divider for dividing by 6 an attenuation control signal inputted from a controller and outputting a quotient signal and a remainder signal, a first attenuator for attenuating a 16-bit parallel digital audio signal obtained from a CD-I disc by -1 dB within the range of 0 to -5 dB in accordance with the remainder signal from the 1/6 divider, and a second attenuator for attenuating an output signal of the first attenuator by -6 dB within the range of 0 to -96 dB in accordance with the quotient signal from the 1/6 divider. According to the invention, the audio signal can be attenuated precisely by -1 dB within the range of 0 to -96 dB, not depending on the environmental conditions, and the overall attenuation circuitry can be highly simplified.
