A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus which comprises detection means (12a) for detecting a first time code in hour-minute-second frame units recorded in a subcode data record area located in a predetermined position of each of the record tracks, which are obliquely formed on a magnetic tape, and detection means (12a) for detecting a second time code in hour-minute units, representing high-order data of the first time code, recorded in a header portion of the subcode data record area. When a user specifies a desired position and starts a search at high speed, a high-speed search is performed up to a predetermined position according to the second time code (in hour-minute units) and then a reduced-speed search is performed from the predetermined position to the desired position according to the first time code (in hour-minute-second frame units). <IMAGE> |
