PURPOSE:To attain the remote continuous reproduction of a single message by avoiding discontinuation of a reproducing action when the counted time of a timer which is started when the reproducing action is started is within a fixed time in a detection mode of an end signal. CONSTITUTION:When an end signal is detected by an end signal detecting circuit 18, a control circuit 1 discriminates whether the end signal is equal to a message end mark. If the end signal is not equal to a message, it is discriminated whether the count time of a timer 16 is larger than a fixed time. If the count time of the timer 16 is larger than the fixed time, the message is stopped and a sound is sent out from an urging sound generating circuit 19 to inquire the subscriber whether he/she intends to reproduce and listen to the message. Then a timer 20 is started to wait for a remote signal ordering to continue the reproduction and transmission of the message. When the remote signal is obtained, the reproduction and transmission of the message is continued. In case the count time of the timer 20 exceeds a prescribed time with no remote signal detected, a relay RL is restored to prepare reception of the next remote signal. |
