Abstract
The present invention relates to a rotary drum unit in a helical scan type magnetic recording/reproducing device for use with a video tape recorder, digital audio tape recorded, or the like and is intended to permit the stable run of the tape with highly accurate formation of track patterns. In the helical scan type rotary head drum unit of the present invention, a dislocation of the tape upon the drums having no lead is detected by tape position sensors arranged along a guide line and the rotary head is moved in the axial direction of the drum by driving a dynamic tracking actuator in a manner to correct the deviation of the tape from the guide line.
