<p>PURPOSE:To ensure satisfactory tracking control even with a recording pattern containing a guard band between tracks, by shifting tracing loci of a pair of rotary heads by 1/(n-1) track pitches to the rotary heads producing the information signals respectively. CONSTITUTION:A reproduction signal of a rotary head revolving with a 90 deg.- delayed phase to a reproduction head is obtained from a switching circuit 21; while a reproduction signal of a rotary head revolving with a 90 deg.-advanced phase is obtained from a switching circuit 22. Then a tracking error AFT signal is obtained in a period shown by (e) by comparing the level of the fA component contained in the signal outputted form a multiplier 32 with that of the fB component contained in the signal delivered from a multiplier 33. While the AFT signal is obtained from an S/H circuit 39 which holds the output signal of a differential amplifier 38 for the period (e) at the center of each field of the reproduction video signal, for example. The AFT signal is supplied to a capstan motor control circuit 41 for control of the rotary phase of a capstan motor 42.</p> |
