  The present invention relates to a composite recording / reproducing apparatus provided with a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus and an optical disk recording / reproducing apparatus, and more particularly to a process when dubbing information recorded on a magnetic tape onto an optical disk.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus known by the name of VCR (video cassette recorder) or VTR (video tape recorder) for recording / reproducing video / audio information on a magnetic tape has been widely used. In such a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus, the VHS method (trademark of Victor Company of Japan) or the S-VHS method (trademark of Victor Company of Japan) is employed as a recording method for recording on a magnetic tape. The S-VHS system is a standard for recording with higher image quality by the VHS system, and the recording band of the recording signal is expanded to about 1.6 times that of the VHS system, enabling recording at 400 horizontal resolutions. This is the recording method.

  In recent years, a DVD (digital versatile disk), which is an optical disk, has been developed as a recording medium replacing a magnetic tape, and an optical disk recording / reproducing apparatus such as a DVD recorder for recording / reproducing information on / from a DVD has become widespread. A composite recording / reproducing apparatus including a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus (VCR, etc.) and an optical disk recording / reproducing apparatus (DVD recorder, etc.) is also widespread.

  By the way, in a composite type recording / reproducing apparatus composed of a VCR and a DVD recorder, a “VCR → DVD” dubbing mode for performing a dubbing process from the VCR to the DVD recorder, and a “DVD → VCR” for performing a dubbing process from the DVD recorder to the VCR. "Has a dubbing mode function.

  Here, a dubbing process from the VCR to the DVD recorder in the composite recording / reproducing apparatus including the VCR and the DVD recorder will be described. Since the video and audio during dubbing are output by a television receiver connected to the composite recording / reproducing apparatus, the user can view the video and audio even during dubbing.

  When the item “VCR → DVD” is selected and determined from the dubbing mode setting screen by operating the remote controller, the composite recording / reproducing apparatus is set to the “VCR → DVD” dubbing mode. In this way, when the composite recording / reproducing apparatus is set to the dubbing mode of “VCR → DVD” and starts the dubbing operation by operating the remote control, the VCR is reproduced and the DVD recorder is recorded. Start dubbing.

When a scene that is not desired to be recorded on the DVD appears on the television receiver while the dubbing is being performed, the scene is not recorded. An operation of a pause key on the remote control (or a pause key on the operation unit is also possible) is performed so that the recording operation is paused, and the recording operation of the DVD recorder is paused while the VCR playback operation remains unchanged. After this, when a scene that you do not want to record passes and a scene that you want to record comes, the pause key on the remote control is operated again to resume the recording operation of the DVD recorder.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the dubbing process in the first embodiment. The dubbing process in the first embodiment will be described with reference to this flowchart and FIGS. Here, the operation related to the dubbing process is described as being performed by the remote controller 6, but may be performed by the operation unit 4.

  First, when the user presses the function display key 220 of the remote controller 6 in order to display the setup screen on the television receiver 8, the system controller 3 detects that the setup screen display instruction has been issued, and outputs a setup screen signal. By supplying to the television receiver 8, a setup screen is displayed on the television receiver 8. When the user selects and determines the dubbing mode item on the setup screen by operating the remote controller 6, the system controller 3 displays the dubbing mode setting screen on the television receiver 8.

  When the item “VCR → DVD” is selected and determined by operating the remote controller 6 from the dubbing mode setting screen, the system controller 3 is set to the dubbing mode of “VCR → DVD”. After the dubbing mode of “VCR → DVD” is set in this way, when a dubbing start instruction is given by operating the remote controller 6 (step S1), the VCR 1 is played back and the DVD recorder 2 is recorded. A certain dubbing is started (step S2).

  While dubbing is being performed in this way, the fast-forward key pressing determination unit of the system controller 3 determines whether or not the fast-forward key 232 of the remote controller 6 has been pressed (step S3). When a scene that is not to be recorded on the DVD 21 appears during dubbing, when the fast forward key 232 of the remote controller 6 is pressed to fast forward the scene, the fast forward key of the system controller 3 is pressed. The pressing determination unit detects that the fast-forward key 232 has been pressed, and the optical disk recording pause unit of the system controller 3 causes the VCR 1 to fast-forward and the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 to temporarily stop the recording. Information recording is temporarily stopped (step S4).

  After the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 is paused, the playback key press determination unit of the system controller 3 determines whether or not the playback key 231 has been pressed (step S5). When it is determined that the reproduction key 231 has been pressed, the recording resumption means of the system controller 3 causes the VCR 1 to reproduce from the fast forward operation, and resumes the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 (step S6). Thereafter, the process returns to the process of step S3, and the same process is performed. When the fast-forward key 232 is not pressed, the dubbing is continued (step S7), and the system controller 3 presses the stop key 230 of the remote control 6, Alternatively, when the playback end of the magnetic tape 11 is detected, the playback operation of the VCR 1 is stopped, the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 is stopped, and the dubbing is ended (step S8).

  According to the first embodiment, when dubbing an unnecessary scene in the dubbing process from the VCR 1 to the DVD recorder 2, fast-forward until a scene to be recorded comes from a scene that is not desired to be recorded. Since the search can be performed, it is possible to shorten the search time from the scene that is not desired to be recorded until the scene that is desired to be recorded arrives, thereby reducing the time for dubbing processing from the VCR 1 to the DVD recorder 2 and improving usability. improves.

  FIG. 4 is a flowchart for explaining the dubbing process in the second embodiment. The dubbing process in the second embodiment will be described with reference to this flowchart and FIGS. Here, the operation related to the dubbing process is described as being performed by the remote controller 6, but may be performed by the operation unit 4.

  First, when the user presses the function display key 220 of the remote controller 6 in order to display the setup screen on the television receiver 8, the system controller 3 detects that the setup screen display instruction has been issued, and outputs a setup screen signal. By supplying to the television receiver 8, a setup screen is displayed on the television receiver 8. When the user selects and determines the dubbing mode item on the setup screen by operating the remote controller 6, the system controller 3 displays the dubbing mode setting screen on the television receiver 8.

  When the item “VCR → DVD” is selected and determined by operating the remote controller 6 from the dubbing mode setting screen, the system controller 3 is set to the dubbing mode of “VCR → DVD”. After the dubbing mode of “VCR → DVD” is set in this way, when a dubbing start instruction is given by operating the remote controller 6 (step N1), the VCR 1 is reproduced and the DVD recorder 2 is recorded. A certain dubbing is started (step N2).

  While dubbing is being performed in this way, the fast-forward key pressing determination unit of the system controller 3 determines whether or not the fast-forward key 232 of the remote controller 6 has been pressed (step N3). When a scene that is not to be recorded on the DVD 21 appears during dubbing, when the fast forward key 232 of the remote controller 6 is pressed to fast forward the scene, the fast forward key of the system controller 3 is pressed. The pressing determination unit detects that the fast-forward key 232 has been pressed, and the optical disk recording pause unit of the system controller 3 causes the VCR 1 to fast-forward and the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 to pause, thereby Information recording is temporarily stopped (step N4).

  After the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 is paused, the reproduction key press determination unit of the system controller 3 determines whether or not the playback key 231 has been pressed (step N5). When it is determined that the reproduction key 231 has been pressed, the reproduction key pressing number determination means of the system controller 3 determines whether or not the reproduction key 231 has been pressed twice within a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) (step N6). ).

  When it is determined that the reproduction key 231 has been pressed twice within a predetermined time, the recording resumption means of the system controller 3 causes the VCR 1 to reproduce from the fast forward operation, and resumes the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 (step N7). The reproduction key 231 is pressed twice within a predetermined time when the reproduction key 231 is pressed when the scene to be dubbed is excessively traversed by the fast-forward search of the magnetic tape 11 as in the first embodiment described above. In addition, in order to prevent the DVD recorder 2 from immediately restarting the recording operation, the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 is resumed only when the reproduction key 231 is pressed twice within a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds). I am doing so.

  When it is determined that the reproduction key 231 has not been pressed twice within a predetermined time (for example, 2 seconds) (when it has been pressed only once), the fast-forward stop means of the system controller 3 performs fast-forwarding that the VCR 11 is executing. The operation is stopped (step N8).

  After the fast-forward operation is stopped, the fast-return operation means of the system controller 3 causes the VCR 1 to perform a fast-rewind operation when the fast-return key 229 is pressed. When the scene to be dubbed is overdone in the search by fast-forwarding the magnetic tape 11, the fast reverse key 229 is pressed to rewind the magnetic tape 11 to the scene to be dubbed.

  After the fast-forward operation is stopped, when the recording resumption means of the system controller 3 detects that the reproduction key 231 has been pressed (step N9), the VCR 11 is reproduced and the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 is resumed ( Step N7). Thereby, the dubbing of information from the magnetic tape 11 to the DVD 21 is resumed.

  When the VCR 11 stops the fast-forward operation (step N8), when the user presses the fast-return key 229, the fast-return operation means of the system controller 3 detects that the fast-return key 229 has been pressed. (Step N10), thereby causing the VCR 1 to perform a fast reverse operation (Step N11). When the user presses the play key 231 when returning to the scene to be recorded while performing the fast reverse operation, the recording resumption means of the system controller 3 detects that the play key 231 is pressed (step N9). Then, the VCR 1 is played back from the fast reverse operation, and the recording operation of the DVD recorder 1 is restarted (step N7).

  After this, the process returns to step N3 and the same process is performed. When the fast-forward key 232 is not pressed, dubbing is continued (step N12), and the system controller 3 presses the stop key 230 of the remote control 6, Alternatively, when the reproduction end of the magnetic tape 11 is detected, the reproduction operation of the VCR 1 is stopped, the recording operation of the DVD recorder 2 is stopped, and the dubbing is ended (step N13).

  According to the second embodiment, when dubbing an unnecessary scene in the dubbing process from the VCR 1 to the DVD recorder 2, fast-forward until a scene to be recorded comes from a scene that is not desired to be recorded. Since the search can be performed, it is possible to shorten the search time from the scene that is not desired to be recorded until the scene that is desired to be recorded arrives, thereby reducing the time for dubbing processing from the VCR 1 to the DVD recorder 2 and improving usability. improves.

  Further, when the VCR 1 is fast-forwarding and the DVD recorder 2 is paused, when the playback key 231 is pressed, it is determined that the playback key 231 is pressed a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time, and then the DVD recorder 2 Since the recording operation is resumed, when the scene to be dubbed is overdone in the search by fast-forwarding of the magnetic tape 11, when the fast-rewind key 229 is pressed, the magnetic tape 11 can be fast-rewinded. It is possible to quickly return to the scene to be dubbed, and by pressing the playback key 231 thereafter, dubbing can be started immediately, and usability is improved.
