An automatic image quality-controlling device of the invention has the following configuration: An FM signal output from a video head 11 is amplified in an AGC amplifier 12 to a uniform amplitude level. A lower-sideband variable peaking amplifier 15 peaks the lower-sideband spectrum. of the FM signal. The lower-sideband of the output from the amplifier 15 is extracted through a lower-sideband filter 18. The amplitudes of the lower sideband thus extracted are converted into a d.c. voltage by a peak detecting circuit 19. This d.c. voltage is compared with a reference voltage by a comparator 20 to output an error voltage. The error voltage is fed back to the lower-sideband variable peaking amplifier 15 so that the ratio between the magnitudes of the carrier wave and the lower-side band component of the FM signal to be demodulated is made constant. Thus, the device of the invention is set up so that the amplitudes of the lower-sideband spectrum of the FM signal are made uniform at a level which allows an optimum S/N value and the best resolution, whereby it is possible to produce sharp images.

Un amplificateur à commande automatique de gain (12) amplifie des signaux MF émis par une tête vidéo (11) à une amplitude fixe, et un amplificateur générateur de crêtes variable (15) dans la bande latérale inférieure génère des crêtes sur la bande latérale inférieure des signaux MF. Un filtre (18) pour bande latérale inférieure extrait la bande latérale inférieure de la sortie de l'amplificateur (15), et un circuit de détection (19) de crêtes convertit l'amplitude de la bande latérale inférieure extraite en une tension de courant continu. Un comparateur (20) compare la tension de courant continu à une tension de référence et extrait une tension d'erreur. La tension d'erreur est réinjectée dans l'amplificateur générateur de crêtes (15) de façon à rendre constant le rapport, d'une part, de l'onde fondamentale des signaux MF à démoduler et, d'autre part, de la bande latérale inférieure. L'amplitude de la bande latérale inférieure des signaux MF est par conséquent maintenue constante et est réglée de sorte que le rapport signal/bruit et la résolution soient bons et que l'image soit nette.
