Abstract
There is provided a video cassette recorder comprising a delay element (), a switching unit () for switching an output of the delay element (), a logic unit () for controlling the switching unit (), and a skew detection unit () for detecting a skew, wherein the delay element () shares a delay element used for vertical emphasis/vertical de-emphasis and for a comb line filter during a special replay. The video cassette recorder thus provides a fast-forwarding replay image, a rewinding replay image and a still image with improved skew distortion from a tape recorded in a long recording mode providing quintuple the recording time of a standard mode. This realizes an excellent special replay image at low cost without requiring an expensive circuit such as a TBC and the like.
