Abstract
In a video tape recorder, recording and reproducing heads record and reproduce a recording signal on recording tracks which are diagonally formed one after another on a tape-like recording medium. The recording heads are capable of recording again the same recording signal in the same recording region. If a recording error occurs during recording mode, information on where the recording error has occurred and a recording signal to be recorded are stored in a memory. During rerecording mode, the stored information is used to complement the recording error. If a recording error occurs, preliminary recording circuitry operates so as to complement this recording error. The above construction permits the recording signal to be recorded on the recording tracks with certainty.
