JPH03198243A - Timer reservation device for magnetic recording and reproducing device - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To expand the purpose of use by providing timer reservations for the start and end of reproduction. CONSTITUTION:When a timer reservation for reproduction is set, reproduction is selected and set with a recording/playback setting key 35, the start is selected with a start/end setting key 34, and the date and time of the playback start are set with a date setting key 33. At this time, a set value up key 36 and a set value down key 37 are used. Then the end is selected with the start/end setting key 34 and the date and time of the playback end are set with the date setting key 33. Then an execution key 39 is pressed. Consequently, reproduc tion is started at the playback start time and finished at the end time. Thus, timer reservations for the start and end of reproduction can be made, so this device is usable, for example, for wake-up alarm, a display in a showroom, and others.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a timer reservation device for reserving the start and end times of the operation of a magnetic recording/reproducing device such as a VTR (video tape recorder).

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, VTRs have been equipped with a device for reserving the start and end of recording using a timer, and furthermore, it is possible to set up to a plurality of programs.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

However, no timer reservation device is provided for not only the start but also the end of playback.

The present invention has been made in view of these points, and its object is to provide a timer reservation device that allows timer reservation for playback of a magnetic recording and reproducing device such as a VTR device.

[Means to solve the problem]

For this reason, the present invention includes keys for setting the start and end of playback, and keys for setting the start time and end time of playback. is now terminated.

〔Example〕

Examples of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a timer reservation device according to one embodiment, FIG. 2 is a flowchart for checking the start time, and FIG. 3 is a flowchart for checking the end time.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes a control section consisting of a CPU having a clock function and a timer function, a mechanical drive section 2 is connected to its output side, and an operation section 3 is connected to its input side. This operation section 3 includes a channel setting key 31, a program number setting key 32, a date and time setting key 33, a start/end setting key 34, a recording/playback setting key 35, a setting value up key 36, a setting value down key 37, and an execution key. A key 38 is provided. Reference numeral 4 denotes a display unit that displays the contents of the timer reservation.

When setting a timer reservation for recording, the recording is selected and set using the record/reset key 35, and then the program number is set using the program number setting key 32. This number is selected and determined using the set value up key 36 or the set value down key 37. Next, the reception channel is set using the channel setting key 31. At this time as well, the channel number is selected and determined using the set value amplifier key 36 or the set value down key 37. Next, use the start/end setting key 34 to select start, and use the date and time setting key 33 to set the date and time to start recording. At this time, the set value up key 36 and set value down key 37 are similarly used. Next, select end using the start/end setting key 34, and press the date and time setting key 3.
Step 3 sets the recording end date and time. Finally, the execution key 39 is pressed. If there are multiple programs to be recorded, the program numbers are made different and the above settings are made for each program.

As described above, when the time reaches the recording start time, recording starts under the conditions set above for the corresponding program number, and when the end time comes, the recording ends.

Next, when setting a timer reservation for playback, select and set playback using the record/resetting key 35, then select start using the start/end setting key 34, and select the playback start date using the date and time setting key 33. and set the time. At this time, the set value up key 36 and the set value down key 37 are used. Next, use the start/end setting key 34 to select end, and use the date and time setting key 33 to set the date and time for the end of reproduction.

Then, the execution key 39 is pressed.

As a result, when the time reaches the reproduction start time, the reproduction starts, and when the end time arrives, the reproduction ends.

In the above embodiment, the start/end setting key 34 can be divided into a start key and an end key, and the record/reset key can also be divided into a recording key and a playback key. Further, the operation section can also be provided on the remote control transmitter.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, since the start and end of playback can be timed, it can be used for, for example, an alarm clock, a display in a jaw room, and other purposes. Further, in order to realize this playback timer reservation device, it is only necessary to add a key for selecting recording or playback to the operation unit of the recording timer reservation device, so it can be realized at low cost.
