Apparatus for detection of cue data carried by a recording medium moving at greatly varying speeds
 An improved cue signal detector is provided for detecting on a magnetic tape which moves at greatly varying speeds a cue signal having a fixed wavelength longer than the wavelengths of other recorded information signals. The cue signal detector comprises a pick-up magnetic head for sensing a recorded cue signal, an integrator connected so that the signal output of the pick-up head is integrated with respect to time, and an amplitude level sensor for monitoring the integrator output with respect to a reference amplitude and generating a cue output signal indicative of the detection of the cue signal on the tape when the amplitude of the integrator output exceeds a predetermined level. The output of the level sensor is processed by a filter circuit to determine whether the cue signal is valid or was generated by noise.
