Application No. 08/278,151
relative position error signal of one magnetic head with
respect to one track, stores a control signal indicating the
amount of displacement of an actuator corresponding to the one
magnetic head, and drives a second actuator according to the
control signal to track a second head associated with the
second actuator. Claims 1 and 25 are illustrative of the
claimed invention, and they read as follows:
1. A rotary head type magnetic recording/reproduction
apparatus having a function of reproducing a main signal from
a plurality of tracks having a plurality of pilot signals of
different frequencies recorded to be superimposed sequentially
on the main signal for every other track, said rotary head
type magnetic recording/reproduction apparatus comprising:
a rotary drum;
a plurality of actuators attached on a circumferential
face of said rotary drum with a constant distance
therebetween, each of said plurality of actuators being
displaceable in a track width direction;
a plurality of magnetic heads attached to said plurality
of actuators in a one-to-one correspondence;
means for detecting a relative position error signal of
one magnetic head out of said plurality of magnetic heads with
respect to one track out of said plurality of tracks according
to said pilot signal components included in a signal
reproduced from said one track by said one magnetic head;
first control means for generating a control signal
indicating an amount of displacement of one actuator
corresponding to said one magnetic head out of said plurality
of actuators, and for driving said one actuator so that the
