Recording apparatus

摘要

A recording apparatus of the kind forming recording tracks by recording both first and second information signals on a recording medium, including (a) an erasing device for erasing signals recorded on the recording medium; (b) a first erasing signal generating circuit which generates a first erasing signal for erasing only the first information signal; (c) a second erasing signal generating circuit which generates a second erasing signal for erasing both the first and second information signals; and (d) a switching circuit which supplies the erasing device with either the first erasing signal or the second erasing signal by switching them over one to the other.
