Dubbing system

U.S. Patent Number: 5392164

Abstract: A dubbing system for duplicating a tape-shaped recording medium on which an amount of information signals for a given period of time are recorded in each of many tracks having different azimuth angles between adjacent tracks includes a reproducing apparatus wherein N rotary heads (N: an integer which is at least 2) which have different azimuth angles between adjacent heads and rotate in a closely adjacent state are used for reproducing, as N channel signals, information signals from N adjacent tracks formed on a first tape-shaped recording medium, and a recording apparatus wherein N rotary heads which have different azimuth angles between adjacent heads and rotate in a closely adjacent state are arranged to receive the reproduced N channel signals and to record them on a second tape-shaped recording medium while forming N adjacent tracks on the second tape-shaped recording medium.
