Abstract
An image signal recording system for recording an image signal on a recording medium has a first recording mode in which the image signal is recorded only in a first area on the recording medium and a second recording mode in which the image signal is recorded in either of first area and a second area located on the recording medium in a position different from the first area. In the second recording mode, the image signal is recorded starting from the second area, so that image signal recording efficiency can be increased to give a great economic advantage.
