Magnetic recording device having multichannel head.

摘要

The present invention relates to a magnetic recording device for recording or playing back television image and audio signals onto or from a magnetic tape (T) in a VTR, and is so constructed that multichannel heads (A, B) in the VTR are disposed in the maximum integral number which is not greater than the ration (P/C) between the track pitch P of the multichannel head and the track width C of each head chip (A1, A2, A3, A4; B1, B2, B3, B4) constituting the multichannel head. This has realized a very high recording density of the magnetic tape.
