Recording/reproducing apparatus, magnetic head and tape cartridge

摘要

A recording/reproducing apparatus in which recording/reproducing characteristics for the magnetic tape may be stabilized and data errors may be reliably prevented form occurring. The recording/reproducing apparatus has a magnetic head (81) in which a pair of magnetic core halves (83A, 83B) of a magnetic material are abutted to each other via a gap material (g) to form a magnetic core. Magnetic tape guide units (82A, 82B) are provided in the vicinity of the magnetic head (81). The magnetic tape guide units (82A, 82B) are formed with magnetic tape suction openings (82b) closed by a magnetic tape 88 adapted for having a sliding contact with the tape slide surface (82a). The magnetic tape suction openings (82b) suck the magnetic tape (88) running on the tape slide surfaces (82a) of the magnetic tape guide units (82A, 82B).
