ABSTRACT:
A multitrack tape recorder records and replays digital data on a plurality of data tracks (15) by way of record/replay electronics (7), a record head (5) and a replay head (6). Channels (8) corresponding to the tape track (15) are provided for input to and output from the electronics (7). An additional channel (11) carries auxiliary data related to the signals in the channels (8). This data is formatted during recording by the electronics (7) into a block format compatible with the data format on channels (15) and is recorded on a separate dedicated track (16). The auxiliary information may be formatted in labels each of which has an instruction field and a parameter field. The labels can carry a wide variety of information relating to operation of the system. As one example, a label may contain in the instruction field an instruction to increase the playback gain by an amount contained in the parameter field.
