摘要

A series of pulses produced by a frequency generator of a capstan is counted during the tape feeding state of an intermittent drive in order to detect a timing of the stopping of the tape feeding. As the count number equals a set value corresponding to a regular amount of feeding of the tape during the intermittent drive, the tape feeding is controlled to stop. A tracking error signal is produced from the pilot signals, by the rotating head within the tape stop state of the intermittent drive, and the set value for the next tape feeding of the intermittent drive is adjusted in response to the tracking error signal.
