Abstract
Abstract A video tape recorder includes a rotary magnetic head drum having a rotating member and a magnetic head (9) mounted on the rotating member, a laser element (LD) mounted on the rotating member, a current source (10) for supplying a constant current to the laser element (LD), a circuit for electrically connecting a coil (8) of the magnetic head (9) in parallel with the laser element (LD), a photoelectric conversion member (PD) fixed in the video tape recorder, and members (12, 15) for optically coupling the laser element (LD) with the photoelectric conversion member (PD).
