first and second buffer means commonly connected to said data strobe means
for receiving said reproduction signal from said data strobe means during both a
recording mode and a reproduction mode of said device, said first and second buffer
means alternately enabling transmission of said reproduction signal based on operating
modes of said device comprised of said recording mode and said reproduction mode,
said first buffer means enabling transmission of said reproduction signal during said
recording mode, said second buffer means enabling transmission of said reproduction
signal to said external system as said second data during said reproduction mode; and
comparing unit means connected to said first buffer means, for comparing said
reproduction signal received from said first buffer means with said converted data
stored in said second memory means during said recording mode of said device to
detect data errors recorded on the magnetic tape;
said controller means correcting said data errors by sequentially enabling:
transmission of said first data from said first memory means to said
digital signal processing means for conversion of said first data into said
converted data conforming to said digital audio tape recorder format,
transmission of said converted data to said recording amplifier means
for generation of said amplified data, and
transmission of said amplified data to said rotational head for
re-recording of said amplified data onto the magnetic tape.
