A video signal recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a bimorph leaf (2) for controlling the position of a rotary magnetic head (1) in the traverse diredction of a skew track formed on a tape, a tracking circuit (3) which detects a relative displacement between the track and the head (1), and supplies a tracking signal to the bimorph leaf (2), a circuit (5) for sampling the tracking signal at a plurality of sampling points located in the longitudinal direction of the track, a memory group (M1 to M32) corresponding to the sampling points, and a circuit (8, 11) which compares stored values in the memory group (M1 to M32) with current sample values, and corrects the stored values using a variation factor determined in accordance with the result of the comparison, the bimorph leaf (2) being controlled after an editing joint on the basis of sample values of average tracking signals for a plurality of tracks whih have been stored in the memory group (M1 to M32) during tape editing. |
