In this telephone answering device, the incoming message record tape is driven by a motor that is oriented by a cam mechanism from a forward drive position to a rewind position. The mechanism is driven by a cam drive motor under control of a circuit which initially responds to detection of a beep tone that begins remote playout of recorded incoming messages. The control circuit programmatically directs the cam mechanism first to orient the tape drive motor in the rewind direction to rewind the tape and then to orient the motor to drive the tape in the forward direction to facilitate remote playout of the messages. Provision is made to inhibit beep tone response during tape rewind.
