Abstract
During recording, a system controller 12 controls a travel control unit 4 to make a magnetic tape travel in a forward direction or a reverse direction at a constant speed and controls a drive motor 59 to cause a rotating drum 8 to rotate at a constant rotational speed so that one recording track is formed during a period where the magnetic tape is made to travel by at least two recording tracks. Further, the system controller 12 controls a reference voltage generation unit 13, controls an angle of inclination of the rotating drum 8 in accordance with the direction of travel of the magnetic tape, and controls the angle of inclination of the path of the magnetic head 9 on the magnetic tape to be constant regardless of the direction of travel so as to perform the recording.
