ABSTRACT:
An improved telephone answering machine having a codec circuit 31 for converting an audio signal input/output from/to a telephone line 3 from analog to digital or digital to analog, a DSP 32 and a memory 33 for storing the supplied digital audio signal. The DSP 32 is adapted to compress data of the digital audio signal, to expand the compressed data of the digital audio signal and to correct the supplied digital audio signal so that the level of an analog audio signal after conversion from digital to analog becomes constant. When recording, the analog audio signal is recorded in the memory 33 via the codec circuit 31 and the DSP 32. When reproducing it, the audio signal recorded in the memory 33 is taken out via the DSP 32 and the codec circuit 31. Because the level of the digital audio signal is controlled in the DSP 32, the sound quality of an OGM or ICM is substantially improved in the telephone answering machine.
