ABSTRACT:
A magnetic reproducing apparatus comprises two rotary magnetic heads mounted on respective bimorphs, the heads being displaceable in the transverse direction relative to recorded tracks on a magnetic tape is response to control voltages applied to the respective bimorphs to effect correct scanning of the tracks, a pulse generator for generating a first pulse signal of frequency dependent on the transport speed of the tape, a first counter for counting the pulses of the first pulse signal to produce a first count output each time a head completes scanning of a track, a second counter which, starting from the first count output, counts the pulses of a second pulse signal which has a frequency which is an integral multiple of the frequency of the first pulse signal and produces a second count output, and a circuit to derive from the second count output control voltages for supply to the bimorphs to preset the positions of the heads relative to the tracks each time a head is to start scanning a track. The apparatus further comprises a third counter for counting the pulses of the first pulse signal to produce a respective third count output corresponding to each scan of a track by a head, a subtractor to derive a difference output from each third count output and the immediately preceding third count output, and an adder to add the difference output to the second count output prior to supply to the circuit for deriving the control voltage, whereby the control voltages are modified in dependence on acceleration or deceleration of the transport speed of the tape.
