Abstract
A system for recording and/or reproducing information, including a magnetic tape formatted by a magnetic write head which is movable in a longitudinal direction (x) and which forms “buried” servo tracks of different widths. The amplitude of the servo read signals, as a function of the position of the magnetic read/write head of the apparatus with respect to the “buried” servo tracks of the magnetic tape in the width direction (y), is substantially the same for the all the read/write units of the read/write head in spite of the width differences.
