          Appeal No. 95-4711                                                          
          Application 08/128,053                                                      

                    This is an appeal from the final rejection of claims              
          1-4, which constitute all the claims remaining in the                       
          application.                                                                
                    Claim 1 reads as follows:                                         
                                                                                     
                    1.  A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus                
          having a drum around which a magnetic tape is wound,                        
          comprising:                                                                 
                    a rotary head mounted on said drum for helically                  
          scanning said magnetic tape so as to reproduce an information               
          signal recorded on said magnetic tape;                                      
                    current amplification means disposed inside said                  
          drum near said rotary head for amplifying a current                         
          representing the reproduced information signal to produce a                 
          first reproducing signal;                                                   
                    lower band suppression means disposed inside said                 
          drum for suppressing low frequency components of said first                 
          reproducing signal to produce a second reproducing signal;                  
                    voltage amplification means disposed inside said                  
          drum for amplifying a voltage representing said second                      
          reproducing signal to produce a third reproducing signal;                   
                    a rotary transformer having a primary winding                     
          disposed inside said drum for receiving said third reproducing              
          signal, and a secondary winding disposed outside said drum for              
          supplying said third reproducing signal received at said                    
          primary winding; and                                                        
                    lower band emphasis means disposed outside said drum              
          for emphasizing said low frequency components suppressed by                 
          said lower band suppression means in said third reproducing                 
          signal supplied from said secondary winding of said rotary                  
          transformer to produce a fourth reproducing signal.                         


                                         -2-
