Abstract
An automatic-reversing tape deck arranged such that the magnetic tape advancing direction is automatically reversed when the tape is wholly wound during operation and then the operation is continued with the tape being advanced in the reversed direction, in which tape-advancement-direction changing signals are repeatedly generated by a circuit if the tape gets unable to advance because of a certain failure or accident, and the tape advancing operation is stopped when several tape-advancement-direction changing signals are counted by a counter. In this tape deck, wasteful power dissipation and harmful heat generation in the mechanism for changing the tape-advancement-direction can be avoided.
