DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an input status display device used when setting a timer for electronic equipment such as a VTR.

[Summary of the invention]

This invention provides an input status display device that displays the input status of timer settings, which displays the day of the week when the timer is set for one week or less, and displays the date and day of the week when the timer is set for one week or more. By displaying the information, the display area of the display can be used effectively and the display can be made easy to understand.

This invention provides an input status display device that displays the input status of timer settings, in which the status of the tape speed, etc. is displayed in detail when the status of the tape speed, etc. is set when setting the timer, and the status of the tape speed, etc. is displayed in detail. By displaying information such as tape speed in a simplified manner, the display area of the display can be used effectively and the display can be easily understood.

The present invention provides an input status display device for displaying the input status of timer settings, which is provided with a memory that can store timer information, so that the timer information stored in the memory can be initially displayed, and the stored timer information can be displayed. Easy to understand.

[Conventional technology]

When setting timer recording for a VTR, various settings such as day of the week, recording start time, recording end time, channel, tape speed, etc. are made. These timer setting states can be confirmed from the display of the commander or the VTR itself. However, in conventional VTRs, the user often misreads the input status display and is unable to set the timer recording correctly.

In other words, recent VTRs are capable of long-term timer recording, for example, within one month. Conventionally, a number indicating the number of weeks ahead and the day of the week are usually shown, and the day to record is determined from the number indicating the number of weeks ahead and the day of the week. However, V
In TR, if the day to record is determined based on a number indicating how many weeks ahead and the day of the week, it is easy to mistake the day to record.

Further, since the display area is limited, the tape speed is often displayed in a simplified manner.

However, with such a simplified display, it is often possible to misjudge the tape speed setting.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

As described above, in conventional VTRs, it is common to misread the display when setting timer recording. Therefore, it is possible to prevent such misreading by making the display more detailed when setting timer recording.

However, the display area of the display is limited, and it is not possible to display everything in detail. Furthermore, if all the displays are displayed in detail, the display becomes complicated, and it is thought that the display at the time of setting the timer recording will be more likely to be misunderstood.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an input status display device that allows setting status to be easily confirmed within a limited display area.

Furthermore, a device has been proposed in which a memory is provided that can store the timer setting state, and the timer setting state of the user's favorite program is stored in this memory, so that the user can set the recording of the user's favorite program with a single touch. In such a VTR, it is desirable that the user be able to recognize at a glance what kind of program the stored program is.

Therefore, another object of the present invention is to provide an input status display device that allows the user to visually check information in a memory that can store timer setting status.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

This invention provides an input status display device that displays the input status of timer settings, which displays the day of the week when the timer is set for one week or less, and displays the date and day of the week when the timer is set for one week or more. This is an input status display device that displays the input status.

This invention provides an input status display device that displays the input status of timer settings, in which the status of the tape speed, etc. is displayed in detail when the status of the tape speed, etc. is set when setting the timer, and the status of the tape speed, etc. is displayed in detail. This is an input status display device that simply displays information such as tape speed.

The present invention is an input state display device for displaying the input state of timer settings, which is provided with a memory capable of storing timer information, and is capable of initially displaying the timer information stored in the memory.

[Function] The timer setting is often within -weeks. In this way, when setting the timer within - weeks, only the day of the week is displayed on the character display section 120. Therefore, the display is simple and there is little chance of misreading the timer setting date. If you want to set a timer for one week or more,
Since the date and day of the week are displayed on the character display section 120, it is unlikely that the timer setting date will be mistaken.

Normally, the recording mode is set to standard tape speed. At this time, the recording mode display is simplified and the display is used effectively. When setting the recording mode, a detailed recording mode is set, so that there is no mistaking the recording mode.

Also, when setting the timer, the character display section 120 displays r.
While "TRANSMI T" is displayed, press r.
When the MEMORY J key 142 is pressed, the memory bank mode is entered. In this memory bank mode, programs can be stored with initials of the user's choice. In this way, programs can be stored with initials of the user's preference, so that the stored programs can be checked at a glance.
