Abstract
A reproducing apparatus for detecting and storing information about the presence or absence of information in each recording track of a recording medium. A scanning head is first moved to the recording track which is in a position opposite the the recording track in which the reproduction will be initiated. Then the scanning head successively processes each recording track to determine the presence or absence of information. Upon termination of the processing of each recording track, the scanning head is located at the recording track in which the reproduction will be initiated. Display is made of the number of consecutive blank tracks.
