RECORD AND/OR PLAYBACK DEVICE ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A record and/or playback device whose operating mode is controlled by processor apparatus which is responsive to the selected operation of various operating control switches. The processor apparatus includes a sensor for sensing when the device is in an inactive mode, such as a "stop" mode, a timer for determining when the device has remained in this inactive mode for a predetermined time, and means responsive to the timer for disposing the device in a dormant condition in which it does not respond to the operation of the operating control switches. Furthermore, the processor apparatus comprises a microprocessor which includes a counter that is incremented when the record medium of the device is moved, and a memory for storing respective counts corresponding to locations of the record medium at which "cue" signals are recorded. When the record medium is moved, as during fast-forward and rewind operations, the changing count of the counter is compared to the counts stored in the memory and, when this comparison is positive, the movement of the record medium is interrupted. Stored counts are deleted when information is recorded over a cue signal; and additional counts are inserted into the memory when additional cue signals are inserted onto the medium.
