MAGNETIC RECORDING AND REPRODUCING METHOD

摘要

PURPOSE:To attain high density recording and high sound quality VTR by recording overlappingly a digital signal of a sound signal to a shallow layer on a track on which an analog video signal is recorded while providing a specific frequency characteristic and recording/reproducing with heads of different azimuth angle. CONSTITUTION:The analog video signal is recorded to a recording layer 27b of a magnetic layer 27 on a base film 28 of a magnetic tape. Then the digital sound signal is recorded to the shallow layer 27a of the layer 27b while a frequency characteristic is given overlappingly so that the recording level changes with the frequency. Since the sound signal is recorded to the shallow layer 27a, a large current giving effect onto the video signal is not required and code modulation (PCM) recording is applied. Thus, the video and sound are recorded with excellent S/N with high density possible for after sound recording and the signal is recorded/reproduced with high quality.
