Abstract

Abstract This invention provides a servo system for controlling a motor driving a rotary magnetic head assembly in a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus. The motor is driven by an output signal from an oscillator. A first phase comparator produces a first control signal responsive to the phase difference between a signal which is synchronous with the rotation of the motor and a reference signal which is derived from a signal that is to be recorded. A second phase comparator produces a second control signal responsive to the phase difference between the output of the oscillator and the reference signal. The first and second control signals are added to control the oscillating frequency and phase of the oscillator and thereby maintain a proper rotation of the motor.
