Abstract

Abstract In an apparatus for recording and reproducing data, block addresses are extracted from reproduced signals and compared with a reference address, then the phase difference between the reproduced signal and the reference address is detected with a high reliability at the minimum time delay, and then by reflecting the result on the phase of the re­cording address, the recording signal and reproduced signal are put in phase with each other so that, at the time of after-recording or connected recording, recording tracks be formed having continuous recording phases in the direction of track.
