Multitrack magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus and method of controlling tracking of multitrack magnetic heads

摘要

The preferred embodiment of the present invention hereby offers a unique and extremely useful multi-track magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus including: a data feed-out device comprised of one or two units of data-reproducing head(s) dealing with some of a plurality of data-recording heads; a control circuit controlling the tracking operations of the data-reproducing heads in response to the output of these reproducing heads; and an azimuth control circuit controlling the deviation time of synchronizing signals in response to the outputs of these reproducing heads.
