Abstract
Helical scan recording/reproduction apparatus tape guides which include rotary inclined guides arranged on opposite sides of the head cylinder and leads are provided for regulating widthwise movement of the tape on the cylinder caused when the tape travels on the curved surface of the rotary inclined guides, so that the widthwise position of the tape upon tape travel can be automatically regulated, and the load to the tape drive motor caused by tape friction is reduced.
