              comprises additionally recording the original digital audio signal in auxiliary signal recording            
              parts located within the video signal recording sectors.  The invention is further illustrated below        
              by claim 1.                                                                                                 
                     1.    Arrangement for recording a digital video signal and a corresponding digital audio             
              signal in slant tracks on a longitudinal magnetic record carrier, said tracks comprising an audio           
              signal recording sector and a video signal recording sector for storing the digital audio signal            
              and the digital video signal, respectively, the arrangement comprising:                                     
                     first and second input terminals for receiving the digital audio signal and the digital              
              video signal, respectively;                                                                                 
                     conversion means for converting the digital audio signal and the digital video signal to             
              form a composite signal for recording on the record carrier;                                                
                     recording means for recording the converted digital audio signal and digital video                   
              signal in said composite signal in the audio signal recording sector and the video signal                   
              recording sector, respectively, of a track, the video signal recording sector in a track further            
              comprising an auxiliary signal recording part for storing an auxiliary signal;                              
                     means for additionally storing the digital audio signal in the auxiliary signal recording            
              parts of the video signal recording sectors in the tracks;                                                  
                     means for generating an indicator signal indicating that the auxiliary signal recorded in            
              the auxiliary signal recording parts of the video signal recording sectors in the tracks is an              
              audio signal corresponding to the digital video signal recorded in the video signal recording               
              sectors; and                                                                                                
                     signal combining means for combining the indicator signal into the composite signal for              
              recording in the tracks.
