transistors q 16 q 17 q 18 and q 19 of the solenoid control circuit 9 are turned on off on and on respectively to again attract the solenoid p for the calling party 39 s message if a remote control signal is not sent out from the calling party again in the above state the transistor q 14 of the motor control circuit 8 is turned on to render diode d 22 conductive and the operation timer 21a whose charging loop is thereby cut off starts discharging and after a certain period of time about 15 sec the relay rl 3 is turned off to open the communication loop circuit by a contact 23 and to drive the thyristor s 2 of the remote control memory circuit 4 turning off the thyristor s 1 and turning on the thyristor s 2 its initial state thus the device is restored to the waiting state where the magnetic heads 16 17 are opposite a position on the tape 19 beyond the recorded mark signal 32 but short of the end of a last recorded message 30 as shown in fig3 e as described above in the present invention when a remote control signal is received the mark signal is recorded and while the tape is rewound by a little.
