ABSTRACT:
An analog and digital combination recording and reproduction apparatus uses the existing head layout found in an analog recording and reproduction apparatus such as an existing VHS system, for recording and reproduction of both analog and digital signals on a magnetic tape. Using a video signal head or a hi-fi audio signal head for use in an extended play mode, digital video and audio signals are simultaneously recorded on tracks obtained by bisecting the standard play mode track width. Thus, the analog and digital signals can be recorded and reproduced without having additional heads for digital recording and reproduction, thereby providing a simple structure and minimizing costs.
