Abstract
A method is disclosed for a recording/reproducing apparatus during a non-recording period in which a recording medium is in a loaded position and a head drum of the recording/reproducing apparatus is rotating. The recording/reproduction apparatus includes a video head, a supply-reel, a take-up reel, and an idler arm movable between the supply-reel and the take-up reel. In the method, friction between the recording medium and the video head and/or the head drum is eliminated during the non-recording period by drawing out the recording medium away from the video head.
