ABSTRACT:
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus including a recording head, reproducing heads and reproducing pre-amplifiers each mounted on a rotating cylinder for allowing recording and reproducing operations at the same time, in which two signal channels are defined by first and second double azimuth heads each made up of two reproducing heads and first and second integrated circuits are arranged on the rotating cylinder in close proximity to the first and second double azimuth heads, respectively. Each of the integrated circuits includes two pre-amplifiers corresponding to two reproducing heads of the first or second double azimuth head and selectively outputs one of two amplified reproduced signals from the above pre-amplifiers which is higher in signal level, and a head discrimination signal is added to the output signal. The input part of each reproducing pre-amplifier is constructed to perform a differential operation, and one of the output signals of the first and second integrated circuits is selectively sent to a fixed side through a single transmission means in accordance with a control signal supplied from the outside. The magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus having the above construction can be made small in jitter and crosstalk, and can reduce the number of elements for transmitting signals between the rotating cylinder and the fixed side.
