ABSTRACT:
A magnetic reproducing apparatus of a helical scan type includes a rotary drum on which a magnetic tape is wound along a part of a helix. A first set of a main head and a sub head is mounted on the rotary drum. The main head and the sub head in the first set are positionally close to each other. The main head and the sub head in the first set have a first azimuth angle and a second azimuth angle respectively. A second set of a main head and a sub head is mounted on the rotary drum. The main head and the sub head in the second set are positionally close to each other. The main head and the sub head in the second set have the second azimuth angle and the first azimuth angle respectively. The second set is opposed to the first set. During a special playback process different from a standard playback process, the magnetic tape is continuously fed while one is sequentially selected from among output signals of the main head and the sub head in the first set and output signals of the main head and the sub head in the second set at a period corresponding to a field to generate a first reproduced signal. The first reproduced signal is periodically and selectively delayed and undelayed to minimize differences among timing positions of vertical sync signals in the first reproduced signal. Thereby, the first reproduced signal is converted to a second reproduced signal. Vertical sync signals in the second reproduced signal are replaced by pseudo vertical sync signals.
