Abstract

A method of position detection on a recording medium is performed by moving the recording medium alternately in normal and reverse directions, while searching for a target position, and decreasing the travel speed of the recording medium with each change in direction. Immediately after a target position has been finally passed, a report signal of the search completion is generated, thereby shortening the search time.
