Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a dubbing device that records a signal reproduced by a disc player unit in a tape recorder unit. By inputting the recording time of the tape, calculations are performed based on the recording time and the playing time of each track number included in the index information of the disc played by the disc player, so that the remaining time of the tape is shortened. The combination of track numbers to be recorded on the tape is automatically selected, and the disk player section plays the disk and the tape recorder section records the tape according to this selection, thereby minimizing the remaining time of the tape. This is how it was done.

(Prior Art) Recently, as a dubbing device that records the signal reproduced by a disc player part in a tape recorder part, by inputting the recording time of the tape to be used, the recording time and each track number included in the index information of the disc are Products have been commercialized that calculate the number of songs that can be completely recorded on a tape, for example, from the first song to how many songs can be completely recorded on a tape, by calculating based on the performance time, and then dubbing recording according to this.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, with the above-mentioned conventional method, if, for example, the first to fifth songs can be completely recorded, but the sixth song is cut off in the middle, the first to fifth songs cannot be recorded. Because of this,
The remaining time on the tape varied greatly depending on the playing time of the sixth song, and the longer the playing time of the sixth song, the longer the remaining time on the tape became, which was extremely wasteful.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a dubbing device in which a signal reproduced by a disc player part is recorded in a tape recorder part, and a recording time of a tape used in the tape recorder part. a tape recording time input means;
Calculation is performed based on the recording time input by the tape recording time input means in response to the input of the editing instruction signal and the performance time of each track number in the disc index information obtained from the disc player section, and the remaining time of the tape is calculated. an editing means for selecting a combination of song numbers to be recorded on the tape so that the length of the song is short; and a storage means for storing the combination of song numbers selected by the editing means; The disc information is reproduced according to the stored contents, and the reproduced information is recorded on a tape by the tape recorder section.

(Function) With the above configuration, for example, you can completely record the first to fifth songs, and if the remaining time on the tape is 3 minutes and the playing time of the 6th song is 6 minutes, after the 7th song. Playing time is 3
You will have to choose a song number within minutes.

Now, if the performance time of the 8th song is 2 minutes, the 8th song will be played and recorded following the 5th song during dubbing recording. Therefore, in the above case, the remaining time on the tape is conventionally 3
However, according to the present invention, the time can be shortened to 1 minute, and the tape can be used effectively.

5 is a tape length setting switch (tape recording time input means), and 16 is a microcomputer.

The microcomputer 16 sends various instructions to the servo circuit 2 and the signal processing circuit 3, and also sends various instructions to the display section 12.
It sends instructions indicating the operating status of the disc player section to
A memory function is used to store index information read from the disk by the optical pickup l, and a memory function is used to store the tape recording time manually set by the tape length setting switch 15. , the remaining time on both sides A and B of the tape is calculated by reading out the performance time and the recording time of each track number included in the index information and calculating them based on the set time when the edit switch 14 is turned on. an editing function that selects a combination of track numbers to be recorded on sides A and B of the tape so that the length is shortened, a memory function that memorizes the selected combination of track numbers, and a recording and playback switch 11.13 turned ON. A function that reads a combination of the above track numbers as a condition and sends an instruction signal to the servo circuit 2 and signal processing circuit 3 according to the contents to cause the disc player section to play the disc. The tape recorder section has a function to shift the tape recorder section to a recording operation state by sending a recording operation start signal to the tape recorder section, and a function that sends a high-speed fast forward signal to the tape recorder section when the last song recorded on each side of the tape is finished. Additionally, the tape recorder section 10 has an auto-reverse function and a tape A/
It is equipped with functions such as outputting a B-side classification signal.

Next, the operation procedure and operation of dubbing recording will be explained. Here, the tape used is C-60 (A.

The recording time is 60 minutes on both sides of B, and the number of songs recorded on the disc is 1.
An example will be explained in which two songs have a total performance time of 63 minutes and 30 seconds. The song numbers and their performance times are shown in Figure 2.

First, a tape cassette is loaded into the tape recorder section 10 so as to be able to record from the beginning of side A, and the recording switch 11 is turned on. However, even though the recording switch 11 is turned on, the playback switch I3 is not turned on, so the tape recorder section 10 is in a recording standby state. Note that the recording switch 11 may be turned on at a later stage.

Next, a disc is loaded into the disc player section. Then, as is well known in the art, the disc player reads the index information stored in the lead-in area of the disc using the optical pickup 1, and transmits the index information to the microcomputer 1 through the servo circuit 2 and signal processing circuit 3.
6.

Thereafter, the tape recording time is input using the tape length setting switch 15, and then the editing switch 14 is turned on.

Then, the microcomputer I6 reads the song number, its performance time, and tape recording time (30 minutes per side) included in the index information, and subtracts the performance time from the tape recording time of 30 minutes, starting from the first song, for example. and see at which song the recording time is exceeded. In this case, the total performance time of the first to sixth songs will be 33 minutes, and the sixth song will exceed the tape recording time. Then, we will check whether there is a song after the 7th song that fits within 3 minutes of the remaining time, which is calculated by subtracting the 27 minutes of the total performance time of songs 1 to 5 from the 30 minutes of the tape recording time. Case performance time 2
The eighth song in minutes satisfies the conditions.

Therefore, as shown in FIG.
The song numbers up to and including the eighth song are selected, and the contents are memorized and displayed on the display section 12.Subsequently, the song number to be recorded on the B side of the tape is selected.
The selection is made using the same process as described above. In this case, the 6th song,
The song numbers of the 7th, 9th, 10th and 12th songs are selected as shown in FIG. 4 and displayed in the memory 9 in the same manner as described above.

Therefore, the remaining time on side A of the tape is 1 minute,
Also, the remaining time on side B is 1 minute and 30 seconds, so 11 songs can be recorded on both sides of tape A and B, and the remaining time is 2 minutes and 30 seconds.

Next, when the playback switch 13 is turned on, the microcomputer 16 immediately sends a recording operation start signal to the tape recorder unit 10 if the recording switch 11 has been turned on first, starts the recording operation, and then performs a predetermined operation. As time passes, the servo circuit 2 and signal processing circuit 3 are instructed to restart the main operation of the disc player section. Note that if the recording switch 11 is not turned on first, the recording switch 11 may be turned on after the playback switch 13 is turned on.

The disc player section plays the first to fifth songs recorded on the disc, and then skips the sixth and seventh songs and plays the eighth song. On the other hand, this playback signal is converted into a digital analog signal by the DA converter 4, and is input to the recording circuit of the part 10 of the Cheap Rennie I-1', and is recorded on the A side of the tape.

When the microcomputer 16 detects that the playback of the 8th track on the disc has been completed, the microcomputer 16 puts the disc player in a pause state and sends a high-speed fast forward signal to the tape recorder 10 to start the tape recorder 10 at high speed. Switch to fast forward mode and watch the remaining part of side A of the tape (1 minute)
To wind up in a short time and eliminate wasted time.

When the A side of the tape reaches the end in the tape recorder section 10, the auto-reverse device switches to the B side recording operation state, and when the tape recorder section 10 outputs an A/B side division signal to the microcomputer 16,
The microcomputer 16 outputs an instruction signal to the servo circuit 2 and the signal processing circuit 3, so that the optical pickup 1, which is paused at the end of the 8th track, is switched to the 6th track, which is the first track on the B-side recording.
The remaining time is adjusted only for the songs to be moved to the beginning of the track, starts playing the disc, and then dubbed to the B side of the tape in the same way as described above. If you allow a wide range of combinations of
The remaining time of the tape can be shortened, making it more desirable.0 In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings, and may be modified as appropriate without departing from the scope of the invention. (Effect of the invention) As described above, according to the present invention, by inputting the recording time of the tape to be used and instructing editing, each part included in the index information of the disc can be edited. Based on the performance time of the track number and the recording time of the tape, the combination of track numbers to be recorded on the tape is automatically selected so that the remaining time of the tape is shortened, thereby minimizing the remaining time of the tape. 0, which has excellent practical effects such as increasing the number of recorded songs and making more effective use of tapes.
