Abstract

In apparatus for recording and/or reproducing video signals in successive parallel tracks on a record medium, and in which at least a portion of the video signals, for example, the luminance component of color video signals, is recorded as a frequency modulation on a carrier, the carrier of the frequency modulated portion of the video signals, as recorded in tracks that are next adjacent to each other, has different first and second carrier frequencies, respectively, which are in frequency interleaving relation to each other for minimizing cross-talk when reproducing the signals thus recorded. The shifting of the carrier frequency for the frequency modulated luminance component is conveniently achieved by selectively applying different first and second bias voltages to the luminance component as supplied to a frequency modulator, with the difference between such bias voltages being effective in the modulator to establish the desired difference between the carrier frequencies. On reproducing, the frequency modulated luminance component is demodulated, and changes in level of the demodulated luminance component corresponding to the different carrier frequencies with which the frequen…
