Abstract
Input terminals to which two types of serial data with similar formats are sent are disposed. Video data sent to the normal dubbing input terminal is data that has not been compressed/encoded. Data sent to the straight dubbing input terminal is data that has been compressed and encoded. Data received from the input terminal includes a sync error flag (error flag for each sync block) that is OR output data of data added by a reproducing VTR and transmission error information. The sync error flag is sent to an ECC encoder through a format converter not through an BRR encoder. An output signal of an ECC encoder is recorded to a magnetic tape by recording heads through a recording driver.
