Abstract

In a record medium checking device, a signal recorded on record medium is reproduced, then the absence of reproduced signal is detected. The device includes a reproducing means for reproducing the signal recorded on the record medium to output the reproduced signal, a discriminating means for comparing the reproduced signal with a reference signal to output a discriminating signal, a signal generating means for generating detecting clock pulses, and a counter to count the detecting clock pulses. The output of the counter is a check signal based on the discriminating signal.
