Abstract
A VTR capable of recording information signals, such as a time code, and more particularly providing a configuration for after-recording the information signals for controlling the operation of the VTR, which comprises an operation panel; a mode determination block for determining a mode to be next switched; an information signal processing block for recording and reproducing the information signals; and a recording period setting circuit for determining a recording period of the information signals. A mode signal inputted through the operation panel is recorded on a predetermined position on a magnetic tape. When such a magnetic tape is reproduced, the VTR is forcibly set in a mode determined by the mode signal at the time of detecting the mode signal. For example, if a mode signal indicative of a fast-forward mode and another mode signal indicative of a normal reproduction mode have been recorded prior to and at the back of a recorded portion which need not be reproduced, the undesired recorded portion can be automatically fast-forwarded when this tape is normally reproduced.
