ABSTRACT:
A method for adaptively detecting when portion of a magnetic tape is wrapped around a capstan of a magnetic tape cassette player includes the steps of transferring the magnetic tape from a supply reel to a take-up reel for a first rotation of the take-up reel, passing the magnetic tape across the capstan when the magnetic tape is being transferred, measuring a first set of pulses of a signal during the first rotation of the take-up reel, measuring a subsequent set of pulses during each subsequent set of a take-up reel, and stopping the rotation of the take-up reel when the subsequent set of pulses varies from the subsequent of pulses immediately proceeding to prevent the magnetic tape from wrapping around the capstan.
