arrangement for automatic retrieval of the next magnetbandaufzeichnungslücke

摘要

An automatic program advance switch is provided for advancing or skipping a recorded passage which is about to be played and going on to the next passage. The tape is driven at a fast speed and a reproduction signal from a playback head is muted with the use of a squelch circuit upon depession of the automatic program advance switch. The tape drive is returned to its normal operating speed when a silence between recorded passages on the tape is detected during the fast movement of the tape. The tape speed control is achieved by varying the revolution velocity of a motor for driving the tape.
