Abstract

The recording method, the composition, and the thin-film head of a compatible high-definition VCR mechanism for consumer use are described. This mechanism enables baseband recording or MUSE recording. A quasinonsegment recording method and a two-speed tape transport mechanism are used. This VCR has the following features: (1) two hours recording in the baseband mode and four hours recording in the MUSE mode with a cassette similar to VHS; (2) trick mode operation modes such as search and still; (3) simplicity of signal processing circuits at recording and reproducing; and (4) excellence of the reproduced picture and sound quality
