摘要:
First, data is read from tracks formed on a tape-shaped recording medium by heads disposed on a rotary drum, to measure error rates. Next, of the tracks formed on the tape-shaped recording medium, a worst track suffering the highest error rate is detected based on the error rates thus measured. Then, a pair of reproducing heads that can reproduce the worst track thus detected at the lowest error rates is detected from the measured error rates. Thereafter, tracking servo control is performed such that the worst track can be scanned by the pair of reproducing heads. As a result, a reproducing apparatus capable of proper reproduction even when recorded tracks undergo variations in width and reproducing heads are erroneously mounted.

摘要:
A magneto-resistive effect type magnetic head (12) has a head width Wh greater than the track width Wt of a magnetic tape (5), as measured in the width direction of the tape (5). The head (12) has a magneto-resistive effect element, which has a magnetism-detecting section arranged at the prescribed azimuth angle. A signal reproduced from the magnetic tape as the head (12) is moved while off-tracked in the widthwise direction Wh of the recording track T1. The signal has a specific characteristic that falls within a predetermined range for a reference value, provided that it has been generated from the magnetism the head (12) has detected over its effective width We.
摘要:
A thin film magnetic recording head comprises a substrate, a first magnetic core formed on the substrate, a second magnetic core having the front end face with a magnetic gap with respect to the front end face of the first magnetic core, and a coil for developing magnetic flux between the front end portions of the magnetic cores. A width of the second magnetic core at the front end portion thereof is chosen to be smaller than that of the first magnetic core. The second magnetic core is at a leading position relative to the second magnetic core in a traveling direction on a recording medium. In such configuration, it is possible to reduce side erase due to recording magnetic flux fringing and to achieve high density of magnetic recording while maintaining the conventional fabrication steps for the thin film magnetic recording head, thereby avoiding the problem in the fabrication.

A thin film magnetic head, in which: a magnetic gap thereof is disposed slantingly relative to a direction orthogonal to a scanning direction of the head corresponding to an azimuth angle; an upper magnetic core layer is positioned on a leading side preceding a lower magnetic core layer in a scanning direction of the head, a protrusion on the lower magnetic core layer has an inclined side surface inclined at an angle equal to or greater than the azimuth angle at least on one side surface in a direction of a track width thereof, and at least one edge of a side adjacent to the magnetic gap of a protrusion on the upper magnetic core layer is aligned on a line drawn extending from the inclined side surface of the lower magnetic core layer, thereby suppressing occurrence of side erasing in a magnetic recording medium during azimuth recording.

Disclosed is a magnetic recording medium, which comprises a metal magnetic thin film formed on a nonmagnetic support member, surface resistivity of the metal magnetic thin film is in the range of 1×103 Ω/sq.-1×107 Ω/sq., a value of Mr·t (a product of amount of residual magnetization (Mr) and film thickness (t)) is within the range of 4 mA-13 mA, and amount of residual magnetization (Mr) is within the range of 160 kA/m-360 kA/m. As a result, in the reproduction using GMR head, it is possible to suppress noise and to prevent saturation of GMR head and electrostatic destruction.
