Abstract
A helical scan type playback apparatus comprising a plurality of magnetic heads, a position signal generation element for generating a signal indicative of each position of these magnetic heads, and a switching element for video signals played back by the plurality of magnetic heads in response to the position signal from the generation element, particularly a playback apparatus for information recorded on a video tape in which the phase of a low frequency band color signal is altered every track of a video tape on the basis of a predetermined rule, thereby allowing spectra of color signals not to overlap with each other between adjacent tracks. This playback apparatus comprises an element for storing the position signal after a first predetermined time has passed from the time when a vertical synchronizing signal of the video signal is received, and a readout element for reading out the position signal stored in the storage element after a second predetermined time has passed from the time when the vertical synchronizing signal is received, and outputting it.
