ABSTRACT:
A telephone answering machine which includes a recording position memory for storing address data corresponding to a recorded leading position of each message on a recording medium and a number designation device such as a dial pad. When a number input is made by the number designation device at the time of a reproduction operation, the recording position corresponding to this number is indexed, and the message is reproduced. When a key corresponding to a given message is pushed down during reproduction of this message, the message is again reproduced from the start. According to this construction, a message to be reproduced can be designated from a plurality of messages by a one-touch operation, and a desired message can be immediately listened to. When the same key is simply pushed, the message corresponding to the key can be listened to once again.
