apparent from the foregoing description the head arrangement of a vtr as shown in fig1 also enables the vtr to have the same patterns of displacement of the bimorph elements therefore the head heights can be kept even for normal reproduction in the event of high speed searching reproduction the change in head height and the average heights of the heads can be equalized for satisfactory reproduction this invention is also applicable to a vtr having the heads arranged in a different manner from the head arrangement shown in the two preceding embodiments for example this invention is applicable to a vtr where in recording adjacent recording tracks are formed one after another by two heads having different azimuth angles in reproduction two heads having the same azimuth angle as that of either one of the recording heads are used with these heads mounted on bimorph elements the recording tracks formed by one of the recording heads are traced alone for special reproduction in that case the triangular pattern signals to be impressed on the two bimorph elements are arranged to be the same or similar to each other and the triangular pattern signals are switched over from one to the other according to the phase difference between.
