Abstract
A pausing system pauses reproduction in a rotary recording medium reproducing apparatus which reproduces a rotary recording medium recorded with an information signal on a spiral track. The reproducing apparatus comprises a reproducing transducer having a reproducing element for reproducing a signal from a track on the rotary recording medium and a kicking mechanism for kicking the reproducing element to an adjacent track in response to a kick pulse applied thereto. The pausing system comprises a pause mode signal supplying circuit for supplying a pause signal when the reproducing apparatus is to be put into a pause mode, where the reproducing apparatus generates the kick pulse in response to the pause mode signal supplied thereto so that the reproducing element scans over the same track to carry out a pause operation, a timer operating in response to the pause mode signal supplied from the pause mode signal supplying circuit, for producing an output signal after a predetermined time period has elapsed, and a mode control circuit supplied with the output signal of the timer, for cancelling the scanning of the same track by the reproducing element.
