Helical scan type magnetic recording apparatus

摘要

A helical scan type magnetic recording apparatus forms tracks which are mutually separated in a width direction of a magnetic tape. The apparatus comprises n pairs of rotary heads for simultaneously and independently forming n oblique tracks which are mutually separated in the width direction of the magnetic tape, where n is equal to two or three, first and second stationary heads for forming audio and control tracks, respectively, and a third stationary head for recording a specific information signal by forming a specific information signal recording track in a recording region other than recording regions in which the audio and control tracks are formed out of three or four recording regions in which the oblique tracks are not formed.
