Abstract
To provide a recording-reproducing apparatus capable of controlling recorded addresses in a highly-accurate minimum recording unit by using an existing time code in order for recording a signal. The present invention realizes the compatibility of the apparatus with the existing time code and controls the recorded addresses by slightly changing a linear time code signal and assigning a time code corresponding to the minimum recording unit.
