Abstract
A magnetic tape timer and method wherein the measured tape time as well as stored cue markers are not affected upon receiving a preset or reset signal. An offset signal is generated and stored as a difference between the preset or reset signal and a tape time which is coincident with receiving the preset or reset signal. The tape time, cue markers and other tape time related values are then modified by the offset signal for further use such as for display.
