Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disc playing device having a storage portion for detachably storing a plurality of recording media.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the structure of a conventional disk playing device of this type. In FIG. 2, reference numeral 1 is a recording medium for recording information data, 2 is a storage portion for removably storing a plurality of recording media 1, and 3 is the delivery of the recording medium 1 to the outside of the apparatus and the mounting of the recording medium 1. A player unit 4 for recording / reproducing information carries a recording medium 1 to / from the storage unit 2 and transports the recording medium 1 between the storage unit 2 and the player unit 5, and 5 a player unit 3 and a transport unit. A control unit for controlling the operation of the control unit 4, and a player unit 3 and a conveyance unit 4
An operation instructing section for inputting a control signal to the control section 5 for instructing various operations with respect to, a recording medium position instructing section 7 for specifying the position of the recording medium 1 in the storage section 2 to be operated, and 8 a recording medium position The recording medium position information storage unit stores a control signal from the instruction unit 7 to the control unit 5.

The operation of the disc playing device configured as described above will be described.

When recording / reproducing information on the designated recording medium 1, a control signal to the control section 5 is usually operated by operating the operation instructing section 6 and the recording medium position instructing section 7 arranged on the front panel of the apparatus. Enter. In the control unit 5, the storage position information of the recording medium 1 designated based on the control signal is stored in the recording medium position information storage unit 8, and the transport unit 4 and the player unit 3 are operated in accordance with the control signal from the operation instruction unit 6. Control operation. The transport unit 4 moves from the reference position to the designated storage position in the storage unit 2 of the recording medium 1 and takes out the recording medium 1 from the storage unit 2, and then moves to the player unit 3 to transfer the recording medium 1 to the player unit 3 Attach to. Player section 3
Then, recording / reproducing of the mounted recording medium 1 is performed. After the recording / reproducing is completed, the recording medium 1 is taken out from the player unit 3 by the transport unit 4, transported to the original storage position in the storage unit 2 and stored in the storage unit 2.

[0005]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, the operation instructing section 6 is instructed to indicate the position of the recording medium 1.
To instruct recording and reproduction of the recording medium 1, and the recording medium 1 is taken out from the storage unit 2 by the transport unit 4 and the player unit 3
If the power is temporarily cut off due to a power outage or the like while being transported to, the determination of the operation instruction content and the current position of the transport unit 4 are performed even after the power is restored. Since the transport unit 4 cannot return to the reference position and detects its own position, the transport unit 4 returns to the position where the recording medium was stored based on the control signal stored in the recording medium position information storage unit 8. Since the recording medium is moved to perform the operation of storing the recording medium in the storage unit 2 and then the transport unit 4 moves to the reference position and enters the standby state, the operation control instructed by the operation instruction unit 6 cannot be performed. There was a problem.

Further, the recording medium 1 is accommodated from the outside of the apparatus in the storage unit 2.
At the time of storage, the operation unit 6 operates the player unit 3 to transfer the recording medium 1, and then the operation unit 6 operates the transport unit 4, and the recording medium position instructing unit 7 operates the storage position of the storage unit 2. Therefore, there is a problem in that a lot of time is spent to store the recording medium 1 because it has to be specified.

Further, when the recording medium 1 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 2 from the outside of the apparatus, the accommodating portion 2 is moved by the recording medium position indicating portion 7.
Since you have to specify the storage position of, if you do not manage the storage position, you will specify the storage position already stored, and you will spend unnecessary time again specifying the storage position. There was a problem.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The invention according to claim 1 provides an instruction operation to an instruction recording medium even after an unexpected situation such as a temporary power interruption. You can continue from the right position and again,
A first object of the present invention is to provide a disk playing device that enables a quick operation without giving an operation instruction or an instruction of a recording medium to be operated.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a disk playing device capable of shortening the storage time by performing a series of storage operation of the recording medium in the storage portion without giving a plurality of operation instructions. This is the second purpose.

A third object of the present invention is to provide a disc playing device capable of performing a desired operation without spending unnecessary time without instructing a specific recording medium. To do.
