Method of setting the track position in a magnetic-tape apparatus

摘要

A method of setting the track position in a magnetic-tape apparatus is proposed, in which the error rate in the reproduced data signal is determined by the error signal of an error correction circuit (16) with a counter (20) and a register (21). By a predetermined number of comparison steps, the lowest value of the error rate is determined and fed as adjusting information to a servo (10) for controlling the feed of the magnetic tape. <IMAGE>
