Abstract
According to this invention, there is provided a magnetic recording/reproducing system having a recording head for recording a signal in a magnetic recording medium along recording tracks having a predetermined track pitch and a reproducing head for reproducing the recorded signal. A relationship between a recording track width Tw of the recording head and a reproduction width Tr of the reproducing head is defined as Tr>Tw. When conditions g<(1500/Hc-Hc/4000.pi.+0.3)/(Hc/400.pi.-1/2) and g.gtoreq.(1500/Hc-Hc/4000.pi.+0.3-Tp+Tw)/(Hc/400.pi.-1/2) are satisfied, an erase region is formed between the recording tracks. In this case, the gap length of the recording head is represented by g [.mu.m], the recording track width is represented by Tw [.mu.m], the track pitch is represented by Tp [.mu.m], and the coercive force of the recording medium is represented by Hc [Oe].
