Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify an operation and to prevent the missing in picture recording due to missetting by providing a means which is automatically set only with setting of a cassette video tape, a means which reads out set information and a means which writes set information on the cassette video tape itself. CONSTITUTION:When a cassette tape is set to a cassette VTR main body 5, a timer information read-in part 2 reads the information of picture recording start and end times, etc., and sends data to a timer information processing part 4. When parameters are set by a timer information manual set part 3, this data is sent to the timer information processing part 4, and this part 4 analyzes data of timer information and sends the instruction data of picture recording start and end times and a television program channel to the cassette VTR main body 5. The cassette VTR main body 5 starts picture recording at a designated time. When the automatic timer set value is changed, the changed value is recorded in the video cassette itself by a timer information write part 1. Thus, the operation is facilitated and the missing in picture recording is prevented.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a cassette VTR, and relates to a cassette VTR that automatically sets the recording start time, end time, and recording channel by simply setting a video cassette. be.

[Conventional technology]

In conventional cassette VTRs, each time a television program is recorded using a timer function, it is necessary to set recording start and end times and channels using a key switch of the cassette VTR. Therefore, especially when recording television programs in different time slots on different days of the week, the same operations had to be performed every day.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

When using the above-mentioned conventional cassette VTR to record a TV program using the timer function, it was necessary to set the recording start time, recording end time, and TV program channel each time. The operation for recording was extremely troublesome. Another disadvantage is that the user may fail to record a desired program by setting the wrong recording start time or wrong TV program channel.

[Means for solving problems]

The cassette VTR of the present invention includes, in addition to the conventional manual setting timer setting means for recording television programs, a means for automatically setting the timer simply by setting a cassette videotape, a means for reading out the setting information, and a means for automatically setting the timer by simply setting the cassette video tape, and a means for reading out the setting information. It has means for writing onto the videotape itself.

〔Example〕

Next, the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the present invention. The VTR includes a timer information writing section 1, a timer information reading section 2, a timer information manual setting section 3, a timer information processing section 4, and a cassette). It has a VTR main body 5.

In the figure, when a cassette tape is set in a cassette VTR body 5, a timer information reading section 2 reads information such as recording start and end times and sends the data to a timer information processing section 4. Further, when the operator sets parameters in the timer information manual setting section 3, the data is sent to the timer information processing section 4. The timer information processing unit 4 analyzes the timer information data and sends to the cassette VTR body 5 the recording start and end times and instruction data of the television program channel. cassette) The VTR body 6 starts recording at the designated time. When changing the automatic timer setting value, the timer information writing section 1 records the change on the video cassette itself.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, the present invention records information on the recording start, end, and TV program channel on the video cassette tape itself in a VTR. By using video cassettes dedicated to the days of the week, there is no need to manually set the recording start time, etc. each time, and there is an effect that operational cumbersomeness is eliminated. Another purpose is to prevent omissions in recording due to incorrect setting of the timer function.
