A parallel scanning tape recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes a rotary head drum carrying a magnetic head which forms a given length of recording track on a magnetic tape. The magnetic head is designed to be shifted in axial direction at every cycle of recording and/or reproducing operation for forming a plurality of tracks which tracks are axially aligned to form a series of track trains which are formed at mutually different lateral orientation on the magnetic tape. The recording and/or reproducing apparatus is responsive to an operation command which includes an order for deceleration of the magnetic tape to stop, such as a command for reversing the tape drive direction, to temporarily accelerate tape drive speed for avoiding overlapping of axially aligned tracks.
