In a magnetic tape apparatus of the present invention, a magnetic head unit having magnetic elements capable of recording or reproducing information with respect to a magnetic tape includes a movable member that includes a magnetic element and has such a size that the movable member comes into contact with the magnetic tape over an entire region in a width direction, and is placed so as to move in the width direction of the magnetic tape, and a stationary member that is placed at a position adjacent to the movable member in a magnetic tape transport direction, wherein the movable member is moved in the width direction of the magnetic tape by a tracking servo mechanism during a tracking servo control. According to this configuration, a magnetic tape apparatus excellent in a tracking precision can be provided, in which even a magnetic tape with a high friction coefficient does not move following the movement of a magnetic head unit in the width direction.

A data recording apparatus of the present invention includes a head that records data signals by magnetizing a magnetic tape 10 and a recording control portion that controls the recording operation by causing recording current to flow to the head. The recording control portion controls the operation of the head, so that in the magnetic tape 10, which is direct current demagnetized continuously in the longitudinal direction, a magnetic field is formed intermittently in an opposite direction to the magnetization direction of the direct current demagnetization. Thus, when recording data signals on the magnetic recording medium, it is possible to make the current flowing to the head small and to realize apparatus power consumption reductions, load reductions for the head and circuitry, and reduction in crosstalk noise from the head chip used for writing to the head chip used for reading.

The information recording apparatus of the present invention includes N servo heads. Servo signals outputted respectively from the servo heads are delayed by a delay circuit such that the peaks of the waveforms of the servo signals coincide with each other. The delayed servo signals are added up by an adder. Thus, the output level of the servo signal can be increased by N times and the S/N ratio of the servo signal can be also increased by √N times. As a result, the precision of PES improves and the amount of off-track can be reduced. Therefore, even if a magnetic layer in magnetic tape has a small thickness, it is possible to prevent the decline of the output level of the servo signal and the S/N ratio.
