RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE

摘要

A digital VTR in which recording heads (51a and 51b), reproducing heads (52a and 52b), and erasing head (53) are arranged on a rotary drum (50) so that the recording heads (51a and 51b) and the erasing head (53) do not scan tracks while the reproducing heads (52a and 52b) scan a tracking area (2) and a sound area (3). When the sound signals of, say, channel number 1 are insert-recorded, a reproduced signal processing circuit (67) separates the sound signals of channel number 2 from interleaved sound signals reproduced by the reproducing heads (52a and 52b) and feeds the sound signals to a recording signal processing circuit (46) through a switch (45b). The circuit (46) interleaves the sound signals of channel number 2 and the sound signals of channel number 1 separately fed through a terminal (42a) and records the signals in the sound area (3) by means of the recording heads (51a and 51b). Therefore, no crosstalk of recorded signals and erasing currents occurs in the reproduced signals corresponding to the sound signals, ensuring the insert-record of ths sound signals. The S/N ratio of the reproduced signals does not lower due to crosstalk of the recorded signals and erasing currents and the sound signals of part of a plurality of channels can be insert-recorded.
