As shown in FIGS. 3 to 5, the remote controller 30 according to the present embodiment uses the front surface, the back surface, and the side surface for main operations used in reproduction and recording, and for auxiliary use in reproduction and recording. For the auxiliary operation and the TV operation to be performed, not only the settings are assigned to each surface, but also the recording and the reproduction are separated from each other while being on the same surface, so that malfunctions of the operation are minimized. This provides an important function in a recording / reproducing apparatus capable of recording and reproducing at the same time.

FIG. 8 shows a recording / reproducing circuit of the recording / reproducing apparatus main body 1 of this embodiment. The video signal and the audio signal input from the terrestrial tuner 80 are output to the AD conversion circuit 82 and the YC separation circuit 83 via the first input switching circuit 81, respectively.

The YC-separated luminance and chrominance signals are input to an NTSC decoder 85 via a second input circuit 84 for switching between signals from an external input S terminal. , Synchronization control circuit 86
And the video component is output to the pre-video signal processing circuit 88.

A part of the video signal that has been subjected to the pre-video signal processing is output to a reproducing circuit for displaying a recorded image, and is transmitted to an MPEG video encoder 89 for recording.
Is output.

Similarly, the audio signal is AD-converted and then output to the MPEG audio encoder 87,
Along with the output of the PEG video encoder 89, a large amount of time-division recording is performed. The time division multiplexing and demultiplexing circuit is MP
In addition to the output of the EG video encoder 89 and the output of the MPEG audio encoder 87, a bit stream input / output terminal serving as an external digital interface input / output terminal via a digital interface 90 for directly recording an externally input digital signal. Terminal 1
9

The time division multiplexing / demultiplexing circuit 91 outputs the data to a buffer control circuit 92 for inputting / outputting data to / from the hard disk 93, and records the data on the hard disk 93.

Here, the hard disk 93 is controlled by the buffer control circuit 92 and can be replaced with an optical disk having the same configuration. If the recording and reproducing speed of video is 10 Mbps, respectively, Has a speed of 40 Mbps, so simple recording,
In addition to reproduction, synchronous recording / reproduction is possible.

The reproduced signal reproduced from the time division multiplexing / demultiplexing circuit 91 is output to the MPEG AV decoder 94, and the video and audio signals are respectively decoded.

The MPEG AV decoder 94 outputs the display for display on the screen from the pre-video signal processing unit 88 and the MPEG AV
The output from the decoder 94 is switched or time-division mixed and output to the OSD circuit 96.

The signal output from the OSD circuit 96 is N
TNTSC decoder 9 converts signals that can be displayed on TSC TV
After being decoded by 7, the signal is converted into a signal that can be displayed on the screen. For example, a reproduced image and an image to be recorded can be displayed in each window on the same screen.

Similarly to the video signal, the signal for recording the audio signal and the output of the MPEG AV decoder 94 are output to the DA conversion circuit 99 via the switching circuit 98.

In the video signal recording / reproducing apparatus main body 1 of the present embodiment, the digital signal input from the outside is MPEG TS
Since the system is presupposed, the audio and video signals are not separately recorded and managed after the MPEG encoding, but are managed on a recording medium according to the TS system.

FIG. 9 shows a reproduction title screen displayed on the TV screen when reproducing the video recorded by the video signal recording / reproducing apparatus main body 1 of this embodiment. When the list button on the front of the remote controller 30 is pressed, a playback title screen can be displayed on the screen. The displayed list 105 is
From the list selection displayed on the same screen, a playlist, a program table by time, a program table by CH, a program table by genre,
My channel and reservation list can be selected.

The reproduction list displays programs recorded on the recording / reproducing apparatus. Each program table for each time, each CH, and each genre includes a specific CH broadcast on a channel different from the program. And a list created by organizing the contents of each program from texts and program classifications.

The My Channel is for extracting the classifications and contents preferred by the user from past recorded information, and selecting and displaying them according to the program schedule, text, and group classification. The list 105 shown in FIG. 9 is a reproduction list selected from the list selection, and a NEW sort 106, a date sort 107, and a title sort 108 are placed above the list.
And a selection button for classification sort 109 are displayed.
When one of these buttons is selected by moving the cursor, various sorts are selected and sorted according to the flow shown in FIG.

Various lists are displayed and sorted based on the data related to the program multiplexed with the broadcast program, so that not only data error detection and data error correction are performed, but also According to the majority rule, an error may be determined based on a majority decision with data sent in the past, and correct data may be extracted.

The NEW sort 106 is a recording which is automatically recorded by the timer in the video signal recording / reproducing apparatus main body 1 and rearranges the titles in a recording order which has not been reproduced yet. The date, title, and index mark set by the remote controller 30 can be similarly rearranged.

The rearranged titles can be automatically reproduced by performing reproduction, and further, by specifying intro reproduction, the recorded video can be reproduced in order every first minute. Is possible. The playback time of this intro playback can be freely changed by designation from the remote controller 30.

Since thumbnail images are created corresponding to the initial screen of each title, the thumbnail images are displayed in the order of the titles by rearranging (sorting) the titles and specifying the thumbnail display. be able to.

It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described example, but may adopt various other configurations without departing from the gist of the present invention.

[0054]

According to the present invention, the recording stop switch for stopping the recording and the reproduction stop switch for stopping the reproduction are separated from each other. Easy operation without having to do it.
