2. Description of the Related Art AC power is supplied by a rotary transformer.
VT of the type that supplies to the rotation side of cylinder equipped with amplifier
A method of attenuating a frequency component of an AC power source by a filter in R is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-117702.
It is disclosed in G11B 5/02.

[0003]

When the AC power source component leaks to the video signal due to crosstalk or the like, beats are generated due to the sum or difference frequency of both frequencies. as a result,
Since a striped pattern due to beats is generated on the playback screen and this is annoying, it is necessary to attenuate the crosstalk component. However, in the above-mentioned configuration, when the frequency of the power supply is close to the frequency of the video signal, a steep filter characteristic is required. However, the filter having the characteristic deteriorates the phase characteristic and has a poor waveform reproducibility. Deteriorate. Further, the power supply frequency may be moved away from the video signal frequency, that is, the power supply frequency may be moved higher than the video signal frequency, but in that case, it is limited by the frequency characteristic of the rotary transformer. Further, if the AC power supply frequency transmitted from the stationary side to the rotating side is constant, beats are generated at a fixed frequency in the case of still image reproduction, and a striped pattern due to the beats is also generated on the screen.

[0004]

In a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus in which a magnetic recording / reproducing head and a reproducing amplifier are provided on the rotation side of a cylinder and AC power is supplied to the rotation side by a rotary transformer, the magnetic power is supplied by the AC power supply means. The frequency of the AC power supply is changed over time within a certain range. Further, the timing for changing the frequency of the AC power supply is synchronized with the video signal or the rotation of the cylinder. At the timing of changing the AC power supply frequency, the point where the frequency changes from rising to falling or the point where the frequency changes from falling to rising is synchronized with the blanking period of the video signal.

[0005]

With the above-described structure, the frequency of the AC power source transmitted from the stationary side of the rotary cylinder to the rotary side via the rotary transformer is changed with time within a certain range. Beats on the screen caused by talk etc. are less noticeable.

A recording signal is supplied to the recording / reproducing magnetic heads 1a, 1b via the recording / reproducing changeover switches 2a, 2b.

Next, a method of transmitting a power source and a control signal for switching each switch will be described. When the RF switching pulse a (see FIG. 2) and the recording / reproducing switching signal b are input to the control pulse generating circuit 20 from terminals 21 and 22, respectively, the control pulse generating circuit 20 outputs
The pulse train shown in c of FIG. The pulse train c is synchronized with the phase of the RF switching pulse a, and is based on the rising and falling points of the RF switching pulse, that is, the triangular wave that becomes the apex in the blanking period of the video signal (not shown), and the square at each apex. The pulses are superimposed. This signal output from the pulse generation circuit 20 is input to the FM modulation circuit 19, and based on this, the power carrier shown in d of FIG. 2 is output. Therefore, the frequency of the power carrier is within a predetermined range (f1 ~
At f4), it continuously changes so as to gradually rise and fall between the rising edge and the falling edge of the RF switching pulse. It should be noted that the frequency of the power carrier is set to a predetermined range (f1 to f4) so as to change in a range not including the video signal frequency band and in a range in which the frequency change does not become abrupt.

At the time of recording, the pulse changes from V ₁ to V ₃ , and at the time of reproduction, if an offset of (V ₂ −V ₁ ) is added, the pulse changes from V ₂ to V _4, so the rotation side A It is possible to discriminate between recording and reproduction. Also, the power carrier d
Since the frequency (see Fig. 2d) is constantly changing within a certain range (f _{1 to} f ₄ ) over time, the frequency of beats generated by carrier crosstalk and the like is also constantly changing and is displayed on the playback screen. The appearing beats are also visually inconspicuous.

The control pulse train c enters the FM modulation circuit 19 and
It is modulated as in FIG. 2d. That is, f _{1 for} each control pulse
Continuously modulated in the range of to f ₄
After being amplified by 18, through the power / control signal of the rotary transformer 7 and the flying erase current transmission channel 7a,
It is transmitted to the rotating side A. This modulated wave on the rotation side A is stabilized to a predetermined voltage by the rectifying / smoothing circuit 17 and the voltage stabilizing circuit 16, and then a DC voltage is supplied to each circuit. The timing of changing the frequency is synchronized with the phase of the RF switching pulse a. That is, by synchronizing with the rotation of the rotary cylinder, the adverse effect on the playback screen is reduced.

Further, the transmitted modulated wave is demodulated into a control signal pulse train by a control signal demodulation circuit 6, and an RF switching pulse and a recording / reproduction switching signal are generated by a pulse generation circuit 5 at the next stage, and each switch 2a. , 2b, 4, 8a, 8b are switched and controlled.
