A video tape recorder wherein when a video signal is frequency-modulated, the phase of a frequency-modulated wave is in a predetermined phase relationship with respect to the video signal. The frequency modulator is driven so that the video signal is time-base compressed to form a space of time. Then, a non-video signal is inserted into the space of time, and the frequency-modulated wave is brought into a predetermined phase having a synchronous relationship with the video signal. Furthermore, in another arrangement, during the reproducing operation, a regenerative demodulated signal is time-base expanded in order to avoid outputting noise due to the discontinuity in phase of the frequency-modulated wave which has arisen within the non-video signal contained space of the regenerated demodulated signal.
