Tape stop position detecting apparatus and magnetic video reproducing apparatus using the same.

摘要

A tape stop position detecting apparatus for a magnetic video reproducing apparatus in which four kinds of pilot sinals (f1 to f4) recorded in a magnetic tape together with a video signal are reproduced from the magnetic tape comprises a comparing circuit (301), a region signal generating circuit (401) and a position signal generating circuit (402). The comparing circuit (301) compares the amounts of two signals (f1 and f3) to generate a comparison output (S9). The region signal generating circuit (401) operates in response to the comparison output (S9) to generate signals (01 and 02) indicating in which region the stop position of the magnetic tape is located. The position signal generating circuit (402) operates in response to the comparison output (S9) and a head selecting signal (HSW) to generate a signal (03) indicating the stop position of the magnetic tape. By the above described signals (01 to 03), the stop position of the magnetic tape can be detected.
