ABSTRACT:
An apparatus of the helical scan type for reproducing a digital video signal from slant tracks (T) on a record carrier, the digital video signal having been recorded in first track portions (TP1) of the tracks. In an edit mode, the digital video signal is reproduced from the first track portions and a corresponding digital audio signal is recorded in second track portions (TP2) of the tracks. The apparatus includes at least one read head (RH) for reading the digital video signal recorded in the first track portions of the tracks and at least one write head (WH) for writing the second channel signal in the second track portions. The read head (RH) and the write head (WH) are positioned on a rotatable head drum at such a location relative to each other that when the read head reads the digital video signal from a first track portion of a first track (T.sub.i+24), the write head writes the second channel signal in a second track portion in a second track (T.sub.i), the second track being spaced a specified number (24) of tracks away from the first track.
