Abstract: After an audio signal at a given level is recorded, the recording level is changed and a video signal is recorded. The audio and video signals are reproduced. A first recording level at which the reproduced video signal becomes the maximum level, a second recording level which is smaller than the first recording level and at which the reproduced video signal level becomes the maximum value.times.0.9, a third recording level at which the reproduced audio signal level is equal to or greater than a reference value, and a fourth recording level at which the reproduced audio signal level becomes equal to or greater than the minimum value are stored in storages, respectively. The video head recording current value is controlled according to the optimum recording level found by an arithmetic section based on the stored recording levels.

Abstract: A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, which includes: a reproduced level detector for detecting the level of a reproduced signal and a memory for storing the reproduced level detected by the detector; and when recording a video signal, the signal is recorded and reproduced in advance, and this reproduced level is stored in the memory, so that an amount of emphasis of a detail emphasis circuit in a reproducing system and an amount of equalization of an FM equalizer in the recording system can be controlled in accordance with the stored reproduced level; while when reproducing the video signal, the level of a reproduced FM luminance signal is detected by the reproduced level detector, so that an amount of equalization of an FM equalizer, an amount of cancellation of a line noise canceler, and an amount of cancellation of a noise canceler in a reproducing system can respectively be controlled in accordance with the detected reproduced level; whereby the characteristic of a video tape can be controlled in a
