Abstract

Magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus has a lower drum, an upper drum equipped with a rotary magnetic head and being coaxially and rotatably supported by the lower drum, a first tilt driving device for tilting a center axis of the upper and lower drums at a predetermined angle to allow a rotary locus of the rotary magnetic head to coincide with a recorded track on a magnetic tape, a lead ring having a first tape positional regulation surface for guiding a reference edge of the magnetic tape, the lead ring being independently provided close to an outer peripheral surface of a small diameter section of the lower drum, and a second tilt driving device for tilting the lead ring to allow the first tape positional regulation surface thereof to match the reference edge of the magnetic tape. The apparatus has a constructive feature that a second tape positional regulation surface is at least provided at an end of a tape contacting area in a tape inlet side of the lower drum for guiding the reference edge of the magnetic tape running at the highest magnification speed in a trick play reproduction mode with respect to a tape speed of a normal recording.
