A video tape recorder of the helical scan type including two rotational video heads which have their phase and speed controlled. The video heads are mechanically displaced by 180.degree. from each other and reproduce the video signal on the magnetic tape. The position of one of the video heads is indicated by PG pulse from a first pulse generator. A second pulse generator provides 2N pulses per revolution of the video heads, where N is an integer. A first divider is reset by the PG pulse, and divides by N the output pulse frequency of the second pulse generator, and adjusts the output phase of the first divider whose phase corresponds to the phase of the video heads. The second divider is also reset by each PG pulse and divides the output pulse frequency of the first divider by 2. Video signals reproduced by the video heads are chosen in accordance with the level of the output pulse from the second divider.
A video tape recorder comprising two video heads which are mechanically displaced by 180.degree. for reproducing recorded video signals on a magnetic tape, comprising:
