| 1. A magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:
a recording section configured to perform a signal process for recording a signal on a magnetic recording medium;
a reproducing section including a reproducing head capable of reproducing a signal from a recording track of the magnetic
recording medium and configured to reproduce signals from a plurality of ones of recording tracks of the magnetic recording
medium by means of said reproducing head and acquire position information of said reproducing head with respect to the plural
recording tracks and then generate a reproduced signal for each of the recording tracks of the magnetic recording medium on
the basis of the positional information; and
an identification signal appending section provided in said recording section and configured to append an identification signal
which has a recording wavelength equal to or greater than a minimum recording wavelength and causes no interference with any
adjacent one of the recording tracks to a recording signal in order to allow said reproducing section to acquire the information
of said reproducing head with respect to the plural recording tracks of the magnetic recording medium.
