A METHOD FOR RECORDING TRACK MARKING INFORMATION ON FLEXIBLE MAGNETICAL INFORMATION CARRIER DISCS AND APPARATUS FOR FINE ADJUSTMENT OF THE POSITION OF A READING HEAD

摘要

A method for recording track marking information on flexible magnetical information carrier discs, in which the circular tracks on one side of the disc are each divided into an information recording segment having an angular width of at least 270` and a remaining track marking segment, and in this latter respective marking frequency signals are recorded so that each of these signals is distinguishable from those recorded on the two neighbouring tracks. The apparatus for fine adjustment of the position of a reading head in case of discs recorded by the above method comprises frequency selective means that selects the marking frequency components when track marking segments are played back. The difference of the sensed components are processed to a control signal which drives a control unit for adjusting the radial position of the head to the center line of a predetermined track.
