Abstract
A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus for selectively recording and reproducing information on either an analog signal magnetic tape or a digital signal magnetic tape. A head drum is provided with both analog signal heads and digital signal heads, and a signal current is selectively applied to each head depending on the type of tape loaded in the apparatus. When an analog signal magnetic tape is loaded, the head drum is rotated in the direction corresponding to the direction of tape travel. When a digital signal magnetic tape is loaded, the head drum is rotated in the direction opposing the direction of tape travel.
