Magnetic recording apparatus and method therefor, and magnetic recording and reproduction apparatus and method therefor

摘要

Recording data having a data format corresponding to a predetermined digital recording method is generated and the recording data of two tracks in the digital recording method is continuously recorded in one track on magnetic tape. In addition, in this case, control data indicating the arrangement of the frequencies of pilot signals in each track on the magnetic tape is inverted at an interval of two frames in the NTSC system and of one frame in the PAL system and placed in the recording data.
