However, an interrupt may be performed at the end of the tape or the end of the music, and the above-described processing may be performed.

FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining the dubbing operation. When the dubbing operation starts at time t1, the CD
The reproduction unit 10 reproduces the first music as shown in FIG. 8A. 8B, the tape recording / reproducing unit 12 starts recording the first song, and the MD recording / reproducing unit 14 starts recording the first song, as shown in FIG. 8C.

When the reproduction of the first song ends at time t2,
It is determined whether or not the second song can be recorded on the mini-disc. If the second song can be recorded without interruption, the second song is subsequently recorded.

Thereafter, the recording of the N-th song is started at time t3, and when the tape end is reached at time t4, the reverse process is started by the tape recording / reproducing unit 12 and the CD is reproduced.
The reproduction unit 10 repeatedly performs a reproduction process. Also, MD
The recording / reproducing unit 14 performs a standby process shown in FIG.

Here, the CD player 10 repeats the reproduction process, and when the N-th song ends at time t5, the back skip process starts. MD recording / reproducing unit 14
When the end of the Nth music is notified at time t5, the recording operation is temporarily stopped.

At time t6, when the reverse operation in the tape recording / reproducing unit 12 is completed and the back skip operation in the CD reproducing unit 10 is completed, the CD reproducing unit 10 sets N
The second song is reproduced again and the tape recording / reproducing unit 12
Then, the recording operation is started. For this reason, the Nth tune is recorded from the beginning on the recording surface side different from the recording surfaces from the first tune to the Nth tune of the tape. At this time, the MD recording / reproducing unit 1
In No. 4, since the recording operation is temporarily stopped, the Nth tune is not repeatedly recorded.

At the time point t7, the reproduction of the N-th song is completed.
When the end of the N-th song is notified, the MD recording / reproducing unit 14
Then, it is determined whether or not the next song can be recorded. here,
When it is determined that the next song can be recorded without interruption, the recording operation is started and the (N + 1) -th song is recorded on the mini-disc. At this time, the CD playback unit 10
And the operation of the MD recording / reproducing unit 14 are synchronized.
The audio signal SD from the CD reproducing unit 10 can be correctly recorded on the MD recording and reproducing unit 14.

After that, at time t8, the recording of the (N + a) -th song is completed, and it is determined whether or not the (N + a + 1) -th song can be recorded on the mini-disc. If the available time decreases and becomes "TR" for a time shorter than the performance time of the (N + a + 1) th music, it is determined that the music cannot be recorded without interruption, and M
The recording operation in the D recording / reproducing unit 14 ends.

Next, at time t9, the last tune (N +
b) When the reproduction of the tune is completed and a notification of the end of reproduction of the compact disc is given, the recording operation in the tape recording / reproducing unit 12 is also terminated.

As described above, according to the above-described embodiment,
When dubbing a song recorded on a compact disc to, for example, a tape and a mini disc at the same time, even if the end of the tape is reached, the end of the tape recording surface is completed and the audio signal can be recorded before the end of the tape Since the lost song is reproduced again, it is possible to automatically record again from the beginning of the song without generating an extra space at the beginning of a new tape recording surface. In addition, when a song that has reached the tape end is recorded from the beginning, the recording operation of the mini-disc is paused, so that the same song is automatically prevented from being recorded twice on the mini-disc. When the replayed song ends, recording of the audio signal on the mini-disc is resumed, so that the tape and the mini-disc can be dubbed simultaneously.

Since the recording of the audio signal on the tape or the mini-disc is terminated when the last dubbed song is completed, it is possible to prevent the generation of an extra blank portion at the end. Also, for mini discs,
It is determined whether or not the next song can be recorded without interruption, and dubbing is performed when it is determined that recording is possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the recorded song from being interrupted halfway.

Further, in the MD recording / reproducing section 14, when the tape end is detected, the recording operation is temporarily stopped when dubbing of the music being reproduced is completed, and thereafter the recording operation is restarted. As described above, even if the tape end is detected, the recording operation is temporarily stopped after the music being reproduced is recorded to the end, so that it is not necessary to record the music for which the tape end is detected twice on the mini disc. For this reason, for example, when a mini-disc in which signal recording or erasing is performed and a signal recordable area is not continuous is used, the MD recording / reproducing unit 14
It is not necessary to repeat the music recording process twice while jumping the position of the optical head or the magnetic head, thereby increasing the load on the drive unit of the optical head or the magnetic head and increasing the load on the MD recording / reproducing unit 14.
Power consumption can be prevented from increasing.

In the above-described embodiment, the case of dubbing music recorded on a compact disc has been described. However, if a recording medium on which information such as performance time and the like is recorded together with an audio signal is recorded, the compact disc is recorded. It is not limited to. In addition, the recording medium for recording the reproduced music is not limited to the mini-disc.

[0065]

According to the present invention, even if there is no unrecorded portion in a recording area of a recording medium having a plurality of recording areas during dubbing, the data is recorded on the reproducing medium until the end of the song being dubbed. The recorded audio signal is reproduced and recorded on another recording medium, and the recording area of the audio signal on the recording medium where the unrecorded portion is lost is changed to a new recording area, and the music being dubbed is reproduced. When the recording is completed, the recording of the audio signal on the other recording medium is temporarily stopped, and the reproduction is performed again by returning to the beginning of the song being dubbed, and the obtained audio signal is recorded in a new recording area and reproduced again. When the music for which the recording has been performed is completed, the recording of the audio signal on the recording medium on which the recording of the audio signal is temporarily stopped is restarted. For this reason, dubbing can be performed using a plurality of recording media without interrupting the audio signal.

When a song ends during dubbing, it is determined whether or not the next song can be recorded until the end, and when recording is possible, the audio signal of the next song is recorded. Can be prevented. Furthermore, when the last song ends during dubbing, the recording operation on the recording medium ends, so that only the dubbing song can be recorded.
