Abstract
A device for accurately detecting non-recorded segments on a magnetic tape in fast-forward and rewind modes. The output of a magnetic head is coupled through an equalizer amplifier and limiter amplifier to convert it to a digital pulse signal which is applied to the clear input of a counter the clock input of which is coupled to an oscillator. A higher order output bit is connected to the clock input of a flip-flop which controls solenoids for setting the fast-forward and rewind modes. When no pulses of the digital pulse signal are received within a predetermined period, indicative of the presence of a non-recorded segment, the counter produces an output signal which operates the flip-flop.
