  In FIG.3 (b), the knob | pick part 13 is set to the normal mode side. At this time, the main body control unit 8 is in the normal mode in response to the knob 13 being set to the normal mode side. The user slides the knob 13 from the normal mode side to the beginner mode side in order to change from the normal mode to the beginner mode. At this time, since the tip of the knob portion 13 does not protrude outward from the guide portion 14, the user engages a fingernail or a tip of a pen with the recess 15 formed at the tip of the knob portion 13. Then, the knob 13 is slid toward the beginner mode. As a result, the user can change the operation mode depending on the situation, and the knob 13 is not slid unless the fingernail or the tip of the pen is engaged with the recess 15. It is possible to prevent the operation mode from being switched during the operation. In addition, when the knob | pick part 13 is slid to the beginner side, the main body control part 8 will switch to beginner mode according to the knob | pick part 13 sliding to the beginner side.

  FIG. 4 shows an operation flow of the DVD recorder. Here, an operation flow operated by the remote controller 5 instead of the operation panel 4 will be described. When the DVD recorder 1 is powered on, the main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the remote control signal receiving unit 7 has received the remote control signal 6 (S101). When the remote control signal receiving unit 7 has not received the remote control signal 6 (No in S101), the main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the remote control signal receiving unit 7 has received the remote control signal 6 again. When the remote control signal receiving unit 7 receives the remote control signal 6 (Yes in S101), the main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the operation mode of the main body control unit 8 itself is the beginner mode (S102). When the operation mode is not the beginner mode (No in S102), the main body control unit 8 operates in the normal mode and functions according to the contents of the remote control signal 6 received by the remote control signal receiving unit 7 (S113).

  When the operation mode is the beginner mode (Yes in S102), the main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the disc tray 3 is closed (S103). When the disc tray 3 is not closed (No in S103), the main body control unit 8 determines again whether or not the disc tray 3 is closed. When the disc tray 3 is closed (Yes in S103), the main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the disc-shaped storage medium 2 is stored in the disc tray 3 and is inherent in the main body of the DVD recorder 1 (S104). ). When the disk-shaped storage medium 2 is not stored in the disk tray 3 (No in S104), the main body control unit 8 opens the disk tray 3 in order for the disk-shaped storage medium 2 to be stored in the disk tray 3 by the user ( S112).

  When the disk-shaped storage medium 2 is stored in the disk tray 3 (Yes in S104), the main body control unit 8 is played from the beginning of the video stored in the disk-shaped storage medium 2 or from the middle. (S105). Here, the case where the disk-shaped storage medium 2 is reproduced from the beginning is the time when the disk-shaped storage medium 2 is newly stored in the disk tray 3, and the disk-shaped storage medium 2 is stored. The case of being played from the middle of the video to be played is when the disk-shaped storage medium 2 remains in the main body of the DVD recorder 1 after being stopped while the disk-shaped storage medium 2 is being played. is there. As described above, the main body control unit 8 can operate the resume function by determining whether the video stored in the disc-shaped storage medium 2 is reproduced from the beginning or halfway. .

  If the main body control unit 8 determines that the playback is from the beginning of the video stored in the disk-shaped storage medium 2 (Yes in S105), the main body control unit 8 starts the playback from the beginning of the video by operating the playback function (S106). . On the other hand, if it is determined that the video is being played from the middle of the video stored in the disk-shaped storage medium 2 (No in S105), the point that was stopped while the disk-shaped storage medium was being played by operating the resume function. Playback starts from (S107). Here, since the operation mode is the beginner mode, the main body control unit 8 has received the remote control signal 6 regardless of the content of the remote control signal 6 received by the remote control signal reception unit 7 in step S101. The playback function or resume function is operated according to the above. That is, playback is performed regardless of which of the remote control buttons 9 is pressed by the user. For example, it is of course played when the play button 9h is pressed, but it is also played when the fast-forward button 9i, the numeric keypad 9e, or the like is pressed.

  The main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the remote control signal receiving unit 7 has received the remote control signal 6 (S108). When the remote control signal receiving unit 7 receives the remote control signal 6 (Yes in S108), the main body control unit 8 operates the stop function to stop the reproduction (S110). Here, the main body control unit 8 operates the stop function according to the remote control signal receiving unit 7 receiving the remote control signal 6 regardless of the content of the remote control signal 6 received by the remote control signal receiving unit 7. In other words, the button is stopped regardless of which of the remote control buttons 9 is pressed by the user. For example, it is of course stopped when the stop button 9l is pressed, but is also stopped when the fast-forward button 9i, the numeric keypad 9e, or the like is pressed.

  When the remote control signal receiving unit 7 has not received the remote control signal 6 (No in S108), the main body control unit 8 determines whether or not the video stored in the disc-shaped storage medium 2 has been played to the end and the playback has been completed. (S109). When the disc-shaped storage medium 2 has not been reproduced to the end (No in S109), the main body control unit 8 returns to the process of determining whether or not the remote control signal receiving unit 7 has received the remote control signal 6 (S108). When the disc-shaped storage medium 2 has been reproduced to the end (Yes in S109), the main body control unit 8 operates the stop function to stop the reproduction (S111). Since the video stored in the disc-shaped storage medium 2 has been reproduced to the end and the reproduction has been completed, the main body control unit 8 opens the disc tray 3 to take out the disc-shaped storage medium 2 stored in the disc tray 3 (S112). ). When the above processing is performed, the main body control unit 8 returns to the processing of determining whether or not the remote control signal receiving unit 7 of Step S101 has received the remote control signal 6 (S104).

  Thus, when the operation mode of the main body control unit 8 is set to the beginner mode, the user does not need to be aware of the correspondence between the remote control button 9 and each function provided in the DVD recorder 1. Even if the button is pressed, the video stored in the disc-shaped storage medium 3 can be reproduced or stopped.

  Next, a modification of the DVD recorder of the above embodiment will be described. When the user switches the operation mode to the beginner mode, the remote controller 5 performs a predetermined operation, for example, when the setup button 9c is continuously pressed for 10 seconds or more or the knob 13 is slid to the beginner mode side. The control unit 11 recognizes that the mode has been switched to the beginner mode. As a result, the remote control control unit 11 sends the remote control signal 6 indicating that the user is in the beginner mode regardless of the type of the pressed button, regardless of the type of the pressed button. To the remote control signal receiver 7.

  The main body control unit 8 executes processing when the operation mode shown in FIG. 4 is the beginner mode in response to the remote control signal receiving unit 7 receiving the remote control signal 6 indicating the beginner mode. Accordingly, the main body control unit 8 only needs to have a function of recognizing and processing the remote control signal 6 indicating the beginner mode in addition to the remote control signal 6 corresponding to each function. Processing according to the normal mode and the beginner mode can be performed without complicating the structure.

  As described above, in the DVD recorder 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention, the normal mode and the beginner mode are easily switched by performing a predetermined operation on the operation panel or the remote controller. When the user is in the beginner mode, the user does not need to be aware of the correspondence between the remote control button 9 and each function provided in the DVD recorder 1, and the disc-shaped storage medium can be operated by pressing any button of the remote control button 9. 3 can be played back or stopped. In addition, since the beginner mode function can be added without complicating the structure of the operation panel, the remote controller, and the main body control unit, the addition of the beginner mode function increases the manufacturing cost and reduces the efficiency of the manufacturing work. Can be prevented.

  The present invention is not limited to the configuration of the above-described embodiment, and various modifications are possible. For example, the present invention may be applied to a DVD player instead of a DVD recorder, and the remote control button 9 is not limited to the above buttons. The configuration may further include buttons corresponding to other functions. Further, when the beginner mode is set, the resume function may not be operated.
