Abstract
A multitrack magnetic recording and reproducing device of the type, which converts analog signals into digital signals and records and reproduces such converted data by splitting onto a plurality of tracks, comprises heads for both high and low recording densities such that track pitches corresponding to them are at an integral ratio. It includes a reproducing circuit having detecting-decision making means such as multiplexers which, when information recorded by a head for lower recording density is reproduced by corresponding heads for higher recording density, is adapted to determine whether any of the outputs from these heads is incorrect.
