Abstract
A magnetic recording/reproducing device comprises a recording head for magnetically recording a signal on a magnetic recording medium along a predetermined track, and a reproducing head member including a spin valve typed magnetoresistive element and bias magnetic applying means, associated with the spin valve typed magnetoresistive element, for applying a bias magnetic field to the spin valve typed magnetoresistive element, the reproducing head member for changing a sensitivity distribution in a track width direction based on a distance between the reproducing head and the recording head, and an angle difference between the direction of the reproducing head and the extending direction of the track.
