RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE, RECORDING/REPRODUCING METHOD, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

There is provided a recording/reproducing device for recording digital data by a rotary head on an inclined track formed with inclination with respect to the longitudinal direction of a magnetic tape or reproducing the digital data recorded on the inclined track. When control is performed so that a capstan servo calculation unit (71) of a reproduction system (20) performs phase lock at a speed multiplied by ±24 and the rotary head traces search data for reproduction, lock is performed to the inclined track of a predetermined track number and the search data detection result is checked. If no search data can be acquired, the speed is kept at a predetermined direction so that lock is performed with the next error correction block. This is repeated twice at the position farthest from the target position and lock is performed when the search data is acquired.
