Abstract
A tape recorder for use in situations where repetitive reproduction is required, such as in language teaching, is provided with an automatic repeat function. The inputs to the device include the length of tape to be repeated, the number of repetitions, and the overlap tape length between adjacent repeated tape portions, provided to allow more continuity. The functions, e.g. playback and rewinding, of the tape recorder are controlled according to the output of a tape counter and the above input parameters. The use of the invention allows for repeated reproduction without the formation of silent, e.g. blank portions on the tape between adjacent recorded portions.
