Multi-channel recording and/or reproducing apparatus capable of simultaneously recording and/or reproducing of two channels

摘要

An information signal recording and/or reproducing apparatus, of the kind for recording or reproducing information signals on or from a tape-shaped record bearing medium which has a plurality of areas extending in parallel with each other in the longitudinal direction of the medium, is arranged to record or reproduce a first information signal with a first rotary head which traces the medium in such a way as to traverse each of the plurality of areas while rotating through an angle of theta degrees, and to record or reproduce a second information signal with a second rotary head which traces the medium by rotating at a phase differing by of n theta degrees, wherein "n" is an integer other than 0, from the rotation phase of the first rotary head.
