The present invention relates to method and apparatus of recording an audio signal composed of several tracks on a recording medium in a manner that the tracks can be distinguished each other in a recorded audio signal. The present track-synchronous recording method detects a no-sound interval longer than a predetermined time that is included in an input audio signal during recording the input audio signal, and records an audio signal following the detected no-sound interval with a different track number from that of recorded audio signal preceding the detected no-sound interval. Therefore, it is possible to individually distinguish tracks on a copy medium even though those not having any track information are copied thereto from an original at a time.

Track-synchronous audio signal recording method and apparatus

A method is disclosed for a recording/reproducing apparatus during a non-recording period in which a recording medium is in a loaded position and a head drum of the recording/reproducing apparatus is rotating. The recording/reproduction apparatus includes a video head, a supply-reel, a take-up reel, and an idler arm movable between the supply-reel and the take-up reel. In the method, friction between the recording medium and the video head and/or the head drum is eliminated during the non-recording period by drawing out the recording medium away from the video head.
