The playback signal 8 of the compact disc player 1 is input to the input source switching means 3 via the input terminal of the integrated amplifier 6, and is output from the output of the input source switching means 3 to the tape recorder 2 as a recording signal 9 via the recording output terminal. is input. The output of the input source switching means 3 is reproduced from the speaker 1o via an amplifier 4. When the programmed song ends, the compact disc player 1 outputs a control signal 7 to put the tape recorder 2 into recording standby, and the tape recorder 2 receives the control signal 7 and returns to the recording standby state.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the above configuration and operation, a control signal 6 indicating that the tape recorder 2 is in a recording standby state, and a control signal 7 for switching the tape recorder 2 between recording start and standby are transmitted.
is connected only between the compact disc player 1 and tape recorder 2 and is unrelated to the preamplifier 5, so automatic recording can start even if the input source switching means 3 is not in the compact disc position. There are problems such as when the playback output from a device other than the compact disc player is recorded, or when the input source switching means 3 is accidentally switched after recording has started, automatic recording is not stopped. Ta. Furthermore, there is no display device for the user to check the operating status of the device, and malfunctions are not noticed by the user.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by automatically recording the compact disc playback signal only when the input cassette switching means is in the compact disc position.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic recording device with a display device for checking the operating status.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a first control signal output means for notifying that the recording is in a standby state, and a first control for switching between the recording standby state and the operating state. A tape recorder comprising a signal input means, an input source switching means for switching between a playback signal of a compact disc player and a source input, and a recording standby of a tape recorder only when the input source switching means corresponds to a compact disc 7' layer. A tape recorder control device that can switch the recording operation and a display device that displays the input source change or recording operation are provided in the same housing, and there is no way to know when the tape recorder is in recording standby mode. The tape recorder automatically starts recording in response to a control signal from a compact disc player in a separate housing, which includes a first control signal input means and a third control signal output means for notifying the playback state of the compact disc player. Alternatively, the device is placed on standby, and a display is displayed to notify that the automatic recording state has been entered.

According to the above-described structure, the input switching means causes the tape recorder to start recording or standby in response to a control signal from the compact disc player only when the compact disc is in position, and displays the input source. and displays the automatic recording operation.

Embodiment Below, an embodiment of the present invention will be described along with its operation with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2.

-If a compact disc is installed in the compact disc player 2Q, and programs are programmed according to the length of the tape to be recorded (step 27 in FIG. 2). Next, when the input source selection switch 16 is operated to select the compact disc player, the input source switching unit 14 transfers the playback signal 21 of the compact disc player to the amplifier 23 and the tape recorder according to the input switching unit control signal 27 from the input source selection device 15. 13 (step 28 in FIG. 2). Next, when the tape recorder 13 is operated to the recording standby state (step 30 in FIG. 2), the first control signal 11 indicating that the tape recorder 13 is in the recording standby state is outputted from the tape recorder 13, and then the first control signal 11 indicating that the tape recorder 13 is in the recording standby state is outputted. When the compact disc player 2o is operated to start playback with the first control signal 11 inputted (step 31 in FIG. 2), the compact disc player 2o outputs a third control signal 19 indicating the playback state. The tape recorder control device 17 receives a first control signal 11 indicating that the tape recorder 13 is in a recording standby state, and an input source selection device 15 that switches the input switching means 14 to the compact disc player position. The means detects that the control signal 27 has been sent (steps 32 and 33 in FIG. 2), outputs the second control signal 12 to start recording on the tape recorder 13, and causes the tape recorder 13 to start recording.
starts recording (step 34 in Figure 2). In this way, automatic recording is started according to the length of the tape. A playback signal 21 of the compact disc player is converted into a recording signal 22 via an input terminal and an input source switching means 14.
The signal is input to the tape recorder 13 and simultaneously reproduced from the speaker 24 via the amplifier 23. When the programmed song ends, the compact disc player 2o outputs a third control signal 19 indicating the playback state, and the tape recorder control device 17 outputs a second control signal 12 to put the tape recorder 13 on standby for recording. Then, the tape recorder 13 returns to the recording standby state (steps 27 and 39 in FIG. 2). If the input source selection switch 16 is erroneously operated during automatic recording operation and the input Saone switching means 14 is switched to a position other than the compact disc player, the tape recorder control device 17 immediately detects the absence of the input switching control signal 27. Check the second option to set the tape recorder to standby for recording.
The control signal 12 is output to put the tape recorder into a recording standby state (steps 27 and 37 in FIG. 2).

On the other hand, the display device 18 detects that the input source selection device 15 has sent the control signal 2 to set the input switching means 14 to the compact disc player position, and displays the compact disc (step in FIG. 2). 2
9). Furthermore, the display device 18 detects that the tape recorder control device 17 has outputted the second control signal 12 for starting the recording of the tape recorder 13, and displays that automatic recording has started (see FIG. Step 35).

In addition, the display device 18 indicates that the program of the compact disc player 2o has ended and the tape recorder 13 has returned to the recording standby state;
When automatic recording cannot be continued, such as when 0 is in a stopped state or the tape recorder 13 is stopped, the first control signal 11 indicating that the tape recorder is in a recording standby state is detected, and the first control signal 11 is set to 1. , detects the third control signal 19 indicating the playback status of the compact disc player, cancels the automatic recording display, and returns to the input source display (step 40 in FIG. 2).

As described above, according to the configuration of the embodiment of the present invention, the type of control signals input and output to the compact disc player and the number of signal lines do not change from the conventional example, and the input switching means can be configured within the casing including the tape recorder. is in the position of the compact disc, the tape recorder enters the recording and standby state in response to the control signal from the compact disc device, which prevents failures in automatic recording due to erroneous operation of the input switching means, and also prevents automatic recording. The start of the process can be displayed using a display device.
