S. Oka et al., A SMALL-SIZE DECK MECHANISM AND RECORDING TECHNOLOGY FOR DIGITAL VCRS, IEEE transactions on consumer electronics, 40(3), 1994, pp. 363-371
We have developed a small size mechanism for home-use digital VCRs. A
new tape transport system suitable for thin metal evaporated (ME) tape
has been developed. As a result, a track linearity within 3 mu m and
a CN ratio of approximately 50dB (RBW:30 kHz) have been realized.
