Abstract

Disclosed is a method to automatically select recording source within a double-deck magnetic recorder/replayer. In the method, display modes of the first and second decks are checked. A current display output is set as a recording source of the first deck if no decks are not in a display output mode. A current display output is set as a recording source of the second deck if the first deck is in a display output mode, and a recording source of the second deck is not set. The second deck is checked whether in a replay mode or not if the second deck is in a display output mode. The recoding source of the second deck is set as a tuner if the second deck is in a replay mode. Thereby, the recording source can be automatically regulated according to the display output mode for user's convenience.

Description

Automatic selection of recording source for double deck magnetic recording / playback device

1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional double deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus.

2 is a flowchart for explaining a recording source automatic selection method of a double deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus according to the present invention.

The present invention relates to a recording source automatic selection method of a double-deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, and more particularly to a method of automatically selecting a recording source using a screen output function in order to conveniently set a recording source of a double-deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. will be.

In a double-deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus (hereinafter referred to as DVCR) having two decks in one set, a second deck (or first deck), a tuner, or a line as a recording source of the first deck (or second deck). An input or the like may be selected. Accordingly, in the DVCR, since the first and second decks must be selected at the time of recording and the recording source of the selected deck must be selected, the user has to set them through a large number of key inputs, which is very inconvenient.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording source automatic selection method of a double-deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus which can automatically select and set a recording source in order to solve the problems of the prior art.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a recording source automatic selection method of a double deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, the method comprising: checking screen output mode designation of first and second decks; If none of the decks are specified in the screen output mode, setting the current screen output as the recording source of the first deck; Setting the designated screen output as the recording source if the first deck's screen output mode is designated and the second deck is not set as the recording source; Checking whether the second deck is in the playback mode if the second deck is set as the display output mode of the second deck or as the recording source of the first deck; If the second deck is in playback mode, setting the recording source of the second deck to the tuner and setting the recording source of the first deck to the second deck; the second deck is not in playback mode and the recording source of the second deck is the first deck. Maintaining the recording source of the first deck as it is the deck; Setting the recording source of the first deck as the recording source of the second deck if the second deck is not in the playback mode and the recording device of the second deck is not the second deck; And after the setting of the recording source is completed, locking and executing the recording source set as the recording source of the first deck at the time of recording of the first deck.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 shows a schematic diagram of a double deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus. In FIG. 1, 100 is a DVCR and 200 is a TV receiver. The DVCR 100 includes a tuner 10 coupled to an antenna for receiving a TV signal, a line input terminal 20 for inputting an external video signal supplied from a video device such as a video camera, and a signal processor 30. And an output terminal 40 for outputting an RF signal, a controller 50, a command input unit 60, and first and second decks 70 and 80. The first or second deck 70 or 80 is a video signal reproduced from the second or first deck 80 or 70 as a recording source, and the video signal and line input terminal of the broadcast channel tuned through the tuner 10. It may have an external video signal input through 20.

The controller 50 controls the signal processor 30 according to a command input through the command input unit 60 configured as a key input unit or a remote controller. In the TV mode, the antenna is connected to the RF output terminal 40. In the VCR mode, the decks 70 and 80 are operated according to the recording / reproducing mode. In the reproducing mode, the reproduced signal is converted to RF and output to the RF output terminal 40. In the recording mode, the broadcast signal selected by the tuner 10 is recorded, and the video signal recorded according to the screen output specification is output through the RF output terminal 40 and displayed on the screen of the TV receiver 200.

Therefore, a user using the DVCR configured in this way can designate a usage mode as shown in Table 1 below.

TABLE 1

Therefore, the user must set the recording source to be recorded on the deck and then perform the recording operation. The present invention proposes a method for automatically setting such various recording sources.

Referring to Fig. 2, the recording source automatic selection method of the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

If the recording mode of the first deck is described as an example, first, it is checked whether or not the screen designation mode of the first deck is displayed (step 202), or it is checked whether it is the screen output mode of the second deck (step 204).

If neither deck is designated as the screen output mode in step 204, the current screen output is set as the recording source of the first deck (step 206).

If the screen output mode of the first deck is designated in step 202, it is checked whether the second deck is set as the recording source (step 208). If not set in step 208, the designated screen output is set as the recording source (step 210). .

If the second deck is set as the screen output mode of the second deck in step 204 or if the second deck is set as the recording source of the first deck in step 208 (step 212).

If the second deck is in the playback mode in step 212, the recording source of the second deck is set to the tuner (step 214), and the recording source of the first deck is set to the second deck (step 216).

If the second deck is not in the playback mode in step 212, it is checked whether the recording source of the second deck is the first deck (step 218). If it is the first deck in step 218, step 210 is performed and the recording source of the second deck is the first deck. If not, the recording source of the first deck is set as the recording source of the second deck (step 220).

After the setting of the corresponding recording source is completed in steps 206, 210 and 220, the recording source set as the recording source of the first deck is locked at the recording of the first deck (step 222) and the recording operation of the first deck is executed. (Step 224).

As described above, in the present invention, the use of the double-deck magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus can be made more convenient by automatically setting the recording source of the desired deck based on the screen output function.
