Abstract
The rotary head device for recording and/or regenerating signals so as to form a plurality of inclined tracks parallel each other along the longitudinal direction of each recording region on and/or from a tape recording medium such as magnetic tape having two recording regions divided along the longitudinal direction of the tape recording medium has a rotation drum, rotationally driving means, and the first and second head components. The tape recording medium is wound around the rotation drum with a prescribed angle. The rotation drum is rotated by the rotationally driving means. The first head component is provided on any one side of top and bottom sides of the rotation drum. The first head component involves recording and/or regeneration of signals of one region of the two recording regions of the tape recording medium. The second head component is mounted on the other side of the top and bottom sides of the rotation drum and at the angularly different position apart from the first head component in the peripheral direction of the rotation drum. The second head component involves recording and/or regeneration of signals of the other region of the two recording regions of the tape recording medium.
