Abstract

PURPOSE:To select a picture suitable for music and to reproduce it by constituting a device so that it can be discriminated by a code for each genre. CONSTITUTION:When a recording button of an operation device 1 is pressed, a system control device 2 issues an indication to a CD reproducing device 5 so that genre codes of each sound recorded in a sub-code of a CD 4 are reproduced. The genre codes of sound from the CD reproducing device 5 are recorded in a non-volatile memory device 3. Next, the system control device 2 closes a switch 7 to a prescribed side, and issues an indication to a CD-ROM reproducing device 9 so that genre code of each pictures recorded in a CD-ROM 8 are reproduced. Genre codes of pictures from the CD-ROM reproducing device 9 are recorded in the non-volatile memory device 3. And when a music number of the CD 4 is selected for a musical performance of KARAOKE (orchestration without lyrics), the system control device retrieves the music number in the non-volatile memory device 3, a picture number corresponding to a genre code of the music number is found out.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a karaoke device for reproducing voice and images by referring to combination information of voice and images recorded in a memory inside the device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional karaoke apparatus, sound is output from a CD and images are output independently from a laser disk.

[0003]

Therefore, an image that does not match the musical tone may be output.

[0004]

Therefore, in the present invention, the genre code of audio information is stored in a sub-coding area of a CD, and the genre code of image information is stored in a CD-ROM.
Then, the genre code is read out and recorded in the internal memory of the apparatus, and the genre code recorded in the memory is referenced to select an image suitable for the musical tone.

[0005]

By the above means, the code can be identified for each genre, so that an image suitable for a musical tone can be selected and reproduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.
FIG. 1 shows a system diagram of the present invention. The genre code of the voice is recorded in the sub code area of the CD4. When the record button of the operation device 1 is pressed, the system control device 2 instructs the CD reproduction device 5 to reproduce the genre code of each sound recorded in the subcode of the CD 4. The genre code of the sound from the CD reproducing device 5 is recorded in the non-volatile memory device 3.

Next, the system controller 2 switches the switch 7
Is closed to the side B, and the CD-ROM reproducing device 9 is instructed to reproduce the genre code of each image recorded in the CD-ROM 8. CD-ROM
The genre code of the image from the reproduction device 9 is recorded in the non-volatile memory device 3.

Thereafter, the operation device 1 selects the song number of the CD 4 for karaoke performance. Here, when the song number 3 is selected, the system control device 2 searches the non-volatile memory device 3 to check the genre code of the song number 3 and finds an image number having a matching genre code. As a result, the image number 5 is selected.

Then, the system controller 2 closes the switch 7 to the side of A, and the image number 5 recorded in the CD-ROM 8 for the CD-ROM reproducing device 9
The CD reproducing device 5 is instructed to reproduce the tune number 3 recorded on the CD 4. When the reproduction is started, the image data of the image number 5 is output to T2, and the audio data of the music number 3 is output to T1.

Here, the audio genre code may be a CD-ROM formed by recording a part of a CD instead of the sub-code. Further, if the number of each disc is recorded in addition to the genre code, the above operation can be performed on a plurality of CDs and CD-ROMs.

[0011]

As described above, it is possible to always select an image suitable for a musical tone and quickly output a new image according to a genre.
