Abstract
A reproducing apparatus reproduces information signals recorded multi-segmentally on oblique tracks on a tape. Track ID information recorded in the tracks is detected and compared with a reference frame to obtain a phase difference. The tape transportation is controlled in response to this phase difference to correct a reproduced phase so that it is made to coincide with a reference frame phase, as well as to perform tracking control using a tracking pilot signal recorded on the oblique track together with the information signal.
