Japanese term or phrase: 記録再生分離型磁気ヘッド
Seems to be a magnetic head that separates recording from playback. But is this likely to be two separate heads, one for playback one for recording? Or a single head with sections designated for recording and playback?

English translation:A magnetic head with separate record and playback sections
Explanation:
It may look a little ambiguous, but I am pretty sure this is a single head with separate sections for recording and playing back. But I am only 95% certain that these are geographycally separated; they could be "separated" in other sense like time-wise. You text must show it, hopefully with figures.

Probably, two or more magnetic heads


Explanation:
Well, it is a little difficult to assume without more context or drawing. I cannot tell it is related to audio equipment or HDD.

However, multiple heads are generally regarded as a progress of technology compared with a single one, regardless of the types of equipment. So, if a text describes it as an advantageous feature, the chance would be that there are multiple heads.
