ABSTRACT:
A magnetic tape recording with a new signal-encoding format, apparatus for recording this format and reproducing apparatus for reproducing signals from this format. A standard VHS signal is recorded as a first set of parallel slant tracks having a predetermined space between each slant track. A high definition television signal is recorded in pairs of slant tracks of a second type that flank a slant track of first type and are narrower in width than the slant track of first type they flank. Additionally, the azimuth angle of the tracks of first type alternates between different predetermined values for successive tracks, and the azimuth angle of the tracks of second type differ both from the azimuth angle of the track of the first type they flank and from the azimuth angle of the tracks of second type which are positioned next to them in the space between the tracks of first type. This format allows one tape to record both a high-definition television signal and a standard VHS signal, which standard VHS signal can be played back using ordinary VHS tape machines. Accordingly, this format provides a way to avoid the problem of having to carry a dual inventory of tapes in a tape sales or rental business.
