Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a recording and reproducing apparatus that integrates a disc player for reproducing digital audio discs and the like and a tape recorder for recording on magnetic tape.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, recording and playback devices have integrated a disc player and a tape recorder to produce digital audio discs (hereinafter referred to as digital audio discs).
Compact discs (referred to as CDs) are increasingly being played back by a disc player and the playback sound can be recorded by a tape recorder.

A conventional recording/playback device will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 3 shows a conventional recording/playback device. In Figure 3,
31 is a disc player, 32 is a disc player 31
Reproduction start operation means 33 is operated by the user to start the reproduction operation of the tape recorder, and recording start operation means 33 is operated by the user to start the recording operation of the 34-digit tape recorder 33. In order to record the reproduced audio signal from the disk player 31 onto the tape recorder 33, the following operations were required. That is, first, a CD (not shown) is loaded into the disc player 31, and preparations are made so that the disc player can start playing immediately.Next, a magnetic tape (not shown) is loaded into the tape recorder 33. ), operate the recording start operating means 34 to start recording by the tape recorder 33, and then wait at least 1 second until the magnetic tape by the tape recorder 33 stabilizes before starting playback. Disc player 31 by operating means 32
This is an operation in which the CD playback audio signal is obtained and recorded by the tape recorder 33.0 Among the above operations, after the operation of the recording start operation means 34, there is a waiting time until the operation of the playback start operation means 32 is performed. If not, the running of the magnetic tape by the tape recorder 33 will not be stable, and the recorded signal on the magnetic tape may be recorded with sound fluctuations, or the first part of the playback signal from the CD may not be recorded. A phenomenon occurs in which the

FIG. 4 shows a recording/playback device intended to compensate for these drawbacks. In FIG. 4, 41 is a disk player, 42 is a tape recorder, and 43 is a recording preparation operation means by which the user performs an operation to bring the tape recorder 42 into a state where it can immediately start recording, a so-called recording standby state; Reference numeral 44 denotes a playback start operation means for the user to perform an operation to start playback on the disc player 41;
6, the disc player 41 starts rotating the CD and picks up the CD with an optical pickup (not shown) in order to play the CD.
I) Access completion detection means 46 detects whether or not a state is reached in which the above recorded signal can be picked up and the target music signal can be played back (this is called an access completion state); When the access is completed, the disc player 41 is temporarily stopped (
(pause) state, the pose state is maintained for a certain period of time (
(about 1 to 2 seconds), then cancel the pause state and
47 is a temporary stop insertion means for automatically transitioning to a playback operation for obtaining a playback audio signal from the disk player 4;
Running start means 48 sends a command signal to the tape recorder 42 to start running the magnetic tape of the tape recorder 42 when the access is completed; This is a switch means that the user operates to determine whether or not to control based on the command signal from the travel start means 47.

In the recording and reproducing apparatus configured as described above, the reproduced audio signal from the disc player 41 is transmitted to the tape recorder 4.
To record on 2, perform the following steps.

First, a magnetic tape (not shown) is attached to the tape recorder 42, the recording preparation operating means 43 is operated to put the tape recorder 42 into a recording preparation state, and the switch means 48 is turned on to start running from the running start means 47. To enable a tape recorder 42 to immediately shift to a recording running state when a command signal is sent. Next, the disc player 41
D (not shown) and operates the playback start operation means 44 to start processing for the playback operation of the disc player 41. When the CD rotates and reaches the access completion state, the access completion detection means 46 outputs a command to that effect to the pause insertion means 46 and the running start means 47, and the -time stop insertion means 46 causes the disc player 41 to enter the pause state. , the reproduced audio signal from the CD is temporarily stopped immediately before being output, and at the same time, the running start means 47 sends a command signal to start running the magnetic tape to the tape recorder 42 via the switch means 48, and the tape recorder 42 starts running the magnetic tape. 42
is the recording running state. Next, the pause insertion means 46 automatically releases the pause state of the disk player 41 after a certain period of time has passed and shifts to a playback operation for obtaining a playback audio signal from the CD. C to the recorded signal onto the tape
It is possible to automatically perform an operation to prevent the phenomenon that the first part of the reproduced signal from D is not recorded.

Problem to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional device as described above, since the - time stop insertion means 46 always operates when the disk player 41 is in the access completion state, the recording from the disk player 41 to the tape recorder 42 is not possible. In other cases, when simply enjoying the reproduced audio signal of the CD using the disc player 41 through the amplifier and speakers, the sound is output for a certain period of time (about 1 to 2 seconds) after the CD access is completed. I have to wait. A basic feature of disc players is considered to be fast access operations, so making the output of the start sound wait for a certain period of time after the access is completed as described above means that the access operation of the disc player of the recording/playback device is delayed. The period of time the device operates (about 1 to 2 seconds) seems longer than it actually is, and users end up giving the device a reputation as a device with slow access operations.

In view of the above-mentioned problems, the present invention pauses when the CD access is completed and waits for the time until the CD playback sound is output only when the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state. It is an object of the present invention to provide a recording/playback device which outputs the playback sound of a CD immediately after the completion of access to the CD and shortens the apparent access time as much as possible.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the recording and reproducing apparatus of the present invention includes a recording preparation detection means for detecting that the tape recorder is in a recording preparation state, and a recording preparation detection means for detecting that the tape recorder is in a recording preparation state, and a recording preparation detection means for detecting completion of access to the disks 1/-. The access completion detection means, the output of the recording preparation detection means, and the output of the access completion detection means detect the recording of the tape recorder when the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state and the disk player has completed the access. Only when the tape recorder is in a recording preparation state based on the strike starting means for starting running, the output of the chime preparation detection means, and the output of the access completion detection means, when the disc player completes accessing the disc The apparatus is provided with a time stop insertion means for temporarily stopping the player at the access point and returning to the playback state after a predetermined period of time has elapsed.

Effect of the Invention With the above-described configuration, the present invention allows the tape recorder to start recording only when the tape recorder is in a recording preparation state and the disk player has completed access, and also pauses the disk player at the access point and stops the disk player after a certain period of time has elapsed. Since the tape recorder is not in the recording preparation state, it is possible to output the CD playback sound immediately after the disc player completes accessing the CD, and the apparent access time can be minimized. It can be made shorter.

Embodiment Hereinafter, a recording and reproducing apparatus of the present invention will be explained with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of main parts in an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a disc player, 2
3 is a tape recorder, and 4 is a state in which the tape recorder 3 can immediately start recording, that is, a recording standby state. Recording preparation operation means for the user to perform a final operation; reference numeral 5 indicates access completion detection means for detecting whether or not the disk player 1 is in the access completion state; reference numeral 6 indicates whether or not the tape recorder is in the recording standby state. The recording preparation detecting means 7 controls the operation of the disc player 1, and when the access is completed, temporarily stops the disc player 1 (pause), and maintains the pause state for a certain period of time (1 (about 2 seconds), and then cancels the pause state and automatically shifts to a playback operation for obtaining a playback audio signal from the CD. Running start means sends a command signal to the tape recorder 3 to start running the magnetic tape of the tape recorder 3 when the disk player 1 is in the state of access completion; reference numeral 9 denotes access completion detection means 5; recording preparation detection means; 6. - This is a microcomputer that realizes the time stop insertion means 7 and the running start means 8.

The recording and reproducing apparatus configured as described above will be described below with reference to flowcharts showing main parts of the processing operations of the microcomputer according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.

First, it is assumed that power-on and necessary initial setting operations necessary for microcomputer operation have been completed.

It is also assumed that the disc player 1 is in the process of performing an operation process to start playback by the user's operation on the playback start operation means 2.

First, in step 21, it is determined whether the disc player 1 has completed access and is now in a state where it can read the recorded information on the CD.

If access is not completed, repeat step 21.
When the access is completed, the process proceeds to step 22, where it is determined whether the tape recorder 3 is in a recording standby state. If it is not in the recording standby state, the process proceeds to step 26, where the disc player 1 is immediately put into the playback state and outputs the CD playback sound. In contrast, if it is in the recording standby state, the disk player 1 is put into a pause state in step 23, the tape recorder 3 is put into a recording running state in step 24, and the magnetic tape is kept running until the running of the magnetic tape becomes stable in step 26. Only after waiting until a certain period of time has elapsed does the process proceed to step 26 and play the disc player 1.
is in the playing state.

As mentioned above, the function of the access completion detection means 6 is activated in step 21, and the function of the recording preparation detection means 6 is activated in step 22.
Steps 23, 25, and 26 realize the function of the temporary stop insertion means 70, and step 24 realizes the function of the travel start means 8.

Note that the determination in step 22 as to whether or not recording is in standby can be realized by inputting a signal from the tape recorder 3 to the microcomputer that can monitor the operating voltage of the recording bias circuit of the tape recorder 3.
The determination as to whether the access is complete in step 21 can be realized by monitoring the index signal, track signal, time code signal, etc. in the subcode recorded on the CD detected by the disc player 1.

As described above, according to this embodiment, in a recording/playback device that integrates a disc player and a tape recorder, there is a recording preparation detecting means for detecting that the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state, and a recording preparation detecting means for detecting that the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state; The recording operation of the tape recorder is started when the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state and the disk player has completed the access, based on the access completion detection means, the output of the recording preparation detection means, and the output of the access completion detection means. By means of a running start means for starting the recording operation, an output of the recording preparation detection means, and an output of the access completion detection means, only when the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state, the disc player starts accessing the disc. By providing a pause insertion means that pauses the player at the access point and puts it into a playback state after a certain period of time has elapsed, it is possible to pause the player when the CD access is completed and wait for the time until the output of the CD playback sound. This is performed only when the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state, and at other times, the CD playback sound can be output immediately after the CD access is completed.

Therefore, in a recording and reproducing apparatus that integrates a disc player and a tape recorder, which allows easy recording operation from the disc player to the tape recorder, the apparent access time can be shortened as much as possible.

In this embodiment, the microcomputer is separate from the microcomputer that controls access to the CD of the disc player 1, but a single microcomputer controls the disc player and performs functions such as the pause/insertion means. It may be configured to perform operation processing and the like.

Further, in this embodiment, a digital audio disc is used as the playback medium of the disc player, but a video disc on which video signals are recorded, a ROM disc on which computer data, etc. are recorded, etc. may also be used.

Further, in this embodiment, the output of the recording preparation detection means 6 and the output of the access completion detection means 8 are checked in the microcomputer 9, and the tape recorder 3 is in recording standby and the disk player 1 is in recording standby only when the access is completed. The microcomputer 9 outputs the running start command signal to the recorder 3, but the microcomputer 9 only looks at the output of the access completion detection means and outputs the running start command signal from the microcomputer 9. Alternatively, the tape recorder 3 may be configured to accept this running start command signal only when the tape recorder 3 is in a recording standby state outside the microcomputer 9.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a recording and playback device that integrates a disk player and a tape recorder, and includes a recording preparation detection means for detecting that the tape recorder is in a recording preparation state, and a recording preparation detection means for detecting completion of access of the disk player. The recording operation of the tape recorder is started when the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state and the disk player has completed the access, based on the access completion detection means, the output of the recording preparation detection means, and the output of the access completion detection means. If the tape recorder is in the recording preparation state, the disc player starts accessing the disc by the output of the recording preparation detection means and the access completion detection means. By providing a pause insertion means that pauses the player at an access point and returns it to a playback state after a certain period of time has elapsed, it is possible to prevent apparent access, except when recording a playback signal from a disc such as a digital audio disc onto a magnetic tape. It becomes possible to shorten the time as much as possible, and it is possible to realize a recording/playback device that integrates a disk player and a tape recorder, which allows easy recording operation from the disk player to the tape recorder.
