VIDEO RECORDER

The invention relates to a correction of misadjustments, particularly of positioning tolerances of a pulse transmitter (1) generating signals by means of the rotation of the head drum and of a control head (2) recording and reproducing signals. Signal timing deviations both of the pulse transmitter (1) and of the control head (2) are evaluated in a comparison circuit (5,6) with respect to the nominal values prescribed by a respective system in a service adjustment and stored as correction signals (3,4) in a non-volatile memory (7,8). After completion of the adjustment, the correction signals (3,4) are added to the signals supplied or to be supplied by the pulse transmitter (1) and/or control head (2) during recording and during replay for a timing correction.
