摘要

A tape searching method in a digital audio tape recorder by means of TOC (table of contents) and operation frequency sensed from a reel motor. The method for tape searching includes a first stage for receiving a positional information and a specific search mode; a second stage for reading out the TOC information; a third stage for obtaining a mean value of an operational signal sensed from a take-up reel and another operational signal sensed from a supply reel so as to drive a reel motor with a high speed by counting time and position of the tape; a fourth stage for checking if amount of tape wound onto the reels is a value of desired position and conforming said third step if the tape amount is not the value of desired position; and a sixth stage for making a slow, precise search gradually so as to detect a start ID and terminating the procedure when the amount of tape wound onto the reels is a value of desired position.
