In recent years, in video signal magnetic recording and reproducing devices or video signal magnetic reproducing devices using magnetic tape such as video tape recorders (hereinafter referred to as VTRs), so-called automatic・Tracking devices have begun to be introduced. This auto-tracking device is capable of providing reproduced images without noise bands in special modes such as slow playback, still playback, fast playback, and reverse playback in which the tape is played back at a running speed different from the tape running speed at the time of recording. It is possible. Such auto-tracking devices usually attach a video head for reproducing video signals to one end of a piezoelectric element, and supply the piezoelectric element with a voltage amplitude waveform corresponding to the video track on the magnetic tape, thereby playing the video track. It is designed to be traced. However, when the voltage amplitude waveform is applied to the piezoelectric element, mechanical vibration (so-called ringing) occurs due to the mechanical resonance frequency of the piezoelectric element, making the above-mentioned tracing difficult.

Conventionally, in order to solve such problems, the above-mentioned ringing has been solved by providing another power generation piezoelectric element that is displaced together with the above-mentioned piezoelectric element, and feeding back the output voltage waveform of this power generation piezoelectric element to the above-mentioned voltage amplitude waveform. Methods of damping have been proposed, but these conventional examples require a piezoelectric element for power generation in addition to the piezoelectric element for causing displacement, resulting in a complex structure and reduced reliability. There is also the problem of increased costs. In particular, the mechanical quality factor Q M of the piezoelectric element itself is usually 400~
Since it is about 1000, the above-mentioned ringing has a drawback that it becomes very large.

That is, unless (2π·C p ×R) is set to a value sufficiently shorter than the basic repetition period of the drive signal, the tip of the video head 2 cannot obtain the desired displacement. Note that the basic repetition period coincides with the scanning period of the video head 2, and for example, in a two-head helical scan type VTR for NTSC signals, it is approximately
It is 1/30 second. Also, 1 head for NTSC signal.
