Provided is a magnetic tape reproduction device which comprises a tape driving circuit for driving a magnetic tape, first and second reproducing heads disposed respectively in correspondence to first and second tracks of the magnetic tape, and an auto-reverse circuit for automatically reversing the magnetic tape by detecting a terminal end thereof. The auto-reverse circuit sets the second reproducing head to a mode of reproduction when the first reproducing head reproducing the recorded information of the magnetic tape has detected that an output signal corresponding to a non-signal portion of the magnetic tape continues to be generated for a specified period of time, and, when the second reproducing head set to the mode of reproduction has detected that an output signal corresponding to a non-signal portion of the magnetic tape continues to be generated for a specified period of time, supplies a reverse signal to the tape driving circuit.
摘要:
An apparatus of the invention is capable of shifting a transducer, such as a head for erasing, reproducing and recording information on a track formed on a recording medium, with fine positioning accuracy and high access speed. Further, the apparatus is capable of entirely erasing information to be erased on the medium by shifting the transducer with a desired degree while the transducer is excited for erasing operation. In the apparatus, a motion converting means, such as a disc cam or a helically grooved cylindrical cam, is employed for converting a primary rotating motion to a secondary stepwise motion so as to shift the transducer, presenting substantial dead band characteristics for the shifting motion. Further, a control means is employed for shifting the transducer over an area covering an information recorded track and the portions adjacent thereto to execute the erasing operation for an extended area along the track to be erased.
