Abstract
A high density signal recording and reproducing apparatus comprises a disc drive comprising for recording and reproducing with an existing recording format a digital signal on and from a disc rotating at a rotational speed which is 1/N times a standard rotational speed, a circuit for generating N index pulses in one revolution time period of the disc, a selecting circuit for generating a selecting instruction which selects and designates an arbitrary track part on and from which the digital signal is to be recorded and reproduced out of N track parts of one track, a circuit responsive to the selecting instruction for generating a switching signal and an operation stop signal for stopping a recording or reproducing operation of the disc drive during a scanning period in which the remaining N-1 track parts excluding the arbitrary track part are scanned, and for passing out of the N index pulses in one revolution time period of the disc only one index pulse corresponding to the arbitrary track part, and a circuit responsive to the switching signal for selectively passing and supplying the reproduced digital signal to the selecting circuit only during a time period in which the digital…
