Magnetic recording and reproducing method and apparatus for digital signals. An input binary digital signal is converted into an intermediate signal series by a precoder having a delay circuit for two-time slot delay and a modulo-2 adder. The intermediate signal series is branched to two paths. One signal on one path is delayed by one time slot and subtracted from the other signal on the other path to produce a recording signal to be recorded on a recording medium. A signal reproduced from the recording medium is branched to two paths. One signal on one path is delayed by one time slot and added to the other signal on the other path. The added signal is decoded to produce a binary signal which corresponds to the input binary digital signal.

An apparatus for recording or reproducing codes resulting from digitalizing a picture signal on or from a video tape recorder includes a device for correcting code error produced due to interference in the course of recording or reproducing process. The pixel codes succeeding to one another in time are divided to high-order and low-order bit-blocks, respectively, wherein the high-order bits are used to constitute a pseudo pixel code which is then added with a pixel error correcting code. The pixel code consisting of the high-order bits is added with a bit error correcting code before being recorded. In reproduction, error correction can be realized at higher rate with the aid of the correction codes to improve the quality of reproduced picture.

The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for decoding double-encoding codes in which the information to be decoded comprises a first data and a second data. The operation for decoding double-encoding codes is achieved through two stages. A decoder of the first stage checks the first data, and when an error is found in the first data, all symbols of the first data are assumed to be wrong. The first-stage decoder then adds an erasure flag to all symbols to generate erasure symbols. As a result, these erasure symbols include the symbols which are actually erroneous and those which are correct. A decoder of the second stage is used to perform an error correction on the second data. For this purpose, the second-stage decoder detects the number of erasure symbols which are contained in the second data and which are actually erroneous. If the number of actually erroneous symbols does not exceed the maximum number of correctable symbols which can be corrected by the decoder of the second stage, the error correction is effected; otherwise, the decoder detects an error without conducting the error correction.

An optical tape apparatus having improved focus and tracking control. An optical head records, reproduces, or rewrites data on an optical tape by helically scanning the tape with a laser beam. A guide plate is disposed between the optical head and the tape to prevent the beam from becoming unfocused due to fluctuation of the tape cuased by an air film between the optical head and the tape. The optical head contains a semiconductor laser and an optical system exhibiting chromatic aberration for directing the laser beam onto the tape. The optical system includes a condenser lens for focusing the beam onto the tape. Fine focus control is achieved by changing the wavelength of the laser beam by directing part of the beam reflected from the tape back to the laser, thereby changing the focal point of the beam by virtue of the chromatic aberration of the optical system. Coarse focus control is achieved by mounting the condenser lens on a piezoelectric actuator which moves the consenser lens to focus the beam onto the tape. A recording head for recording timing marks and tracking signals on the tape is disposed in advance of the optical head. A reading head reads the timing marks and the optical head reads the tracking signals. The timing marks and tracking signals are used to control the operation of the apparatus such that the tape is transported with a constant speed and data on diagonal signal tracks on the tape is accurately recorded, reproduced, or rewritten.

An original digital signal is converted into either a Miller-squared code signal or a Miller code signal, and undergoes serial-to-parallel conversion to produce n-phase signals (where n is desired to be a positive even number). N-phase virtual demodulated signals are simultaneously generated at clock timing having a period equivalent to 1/n times the period of the transmission clock. Out of the n-phase virtual demodulated signals, n/2 phases are selected to undergo parallel-to-serial conversion, the original digital signal being thus obtained.
