[Outline of Invention]

According to the present invention, there are at least two kinds of mechanical states, that is, a recording run and a running stop of a magnetic tape, which are controlled by operation information from the first and second operation input means, respectively.
In a magnetic recording / reproducing apparatus equipped with the tape drive mechanism of
Linking mode setting operating means for generating setting information for operating the first and second tape drive mechanisms in cooperation with each other, and start-up operating means for generating start information for starting the simultaneous recording and running operation are provided.
By setting the link mode by the link mode setting operation means and then starting the recording simultaneous running operation by adding the start operation by the start operation means,
It enables simultaneous recording of a plurality of tape drive mechanisms.

[Conventional technology]

In recent years, so-called double-deck type tape recorders equipped with two mechanical decks have appeared. In such a tape recorder, for one source input,
Some people want to make two tapes with the same content at the same time, that is, some have the simultaneous recording function. Even if we say simultaneous recording here, for example, we want to record one continuously and the other one to extract the essential points and record, and because the length of the tape is different, one from the beginning There are two cases, one is to start recording from the middle, and the other two are to perform recording operations independently, and one is to record the same contents completely from the beginning to the end. In addition, when recording pauses during recording or cutting unnecessary portions (such as commercials of FM broadcasts) and creating non-recording areas, such as recording muting, both when you want to work independently as well as when you want to work together at the same time. There can be cases.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

However, in the case of the conventional device, even if two tapes having the same content can be simultaneously produced for one source input, the two decks can be operated independently at the recording stage, or they can be operated simultaneously at the same time. It didn't have both functions.

The present invention has been made in view of the above point, and in the linked simultaneous recording mode, two tape driving mechanisms work in unison by the operation input such as temporary stop of one tape driving mechanism or recording mute, and the like.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, (1) shows at least two kinds of mechanical states of a magnetic tape (not shown): recording running and running stopping. , A recording deck as a tape driving mechanism, and (2) a recording deck as a second tape driving mechanism capable of taking at least two kinds of mechanical states of the magnetic tape, that is, recording running and running stop,
(3) is an operation switch section as first operation input means for generating operation information for the recording deck (1), and (4)
The second for generating operation information for the recording deck (2)
It is an operation switch section as an operation input means of. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the operation switch sections (3) and (4) respectively have a stop button SP, a front-side traveling button FD, an opposite-side traveling button RV, a recording button RC, and a fast-forward button FF. ,
Each operation button such as a rewind button RW, a pause button PS, a recording mute button RM, etc. is provided.

(5) receives the operation information from the operation switch section (3) and drives and controls the recording deck (1) based on the operation information, and (6) similarly operates the operation switch section (4). A mechanical control unit that receives operation information from the controller and drives and controls the recording deck (2) based on the operation information.
(7) is a link mode setting operation switch section as link mode setting operation means for generating setting information for link operation of the recording deck (1) and the recording deck (2), and (8) starts simultaneous recording running operation. The linked mode start-up operation switch section as a start-up operation means for generating start-up information, and the mechanical control section (5) and ( 6) is a linkage control unit for controlling 6). The mechanical control units (5) and (6) and the linkage control unit (9) can be configured by one microcomputer or the like. When the setting information is generated from the operation switch section (7), the linkage control section (9) receives the mechanical control section (5).
Recording deck (1) and recording deck (2) in (6)
The recording decks (1) and (2) are suspended for a predetermined time (standby state).
The operation switch section (8).
When the activation information is generated, the mechanical control units (5) and (6) start the recording decks (1) and (2) to run at the same time, that is, the recording deck (1) and the recording deck (2). Both enter the recording state.

Now, when the setting information of the linkage mode is generated from the operation switch unit (7), the linkage control unit (9) controls the mechanical control units (5) and (6) to record the recording deck (1) and the recording deck (1). Set the decks (2) to work together and put both decks in a suspended state. Then, when start-up information of the linkage mode is generated from the operation switch unit (8), the linkage control unit (9) controls the mechanical control units (5) and (6) to record the recording decks (1) and (2). ) To start running at the same time.

When the cooperation mode is set by the operation switch unit (7), the mechanical control units (5) and (6) are controlled by a command from the cooperation control unit (9). In this cooperation mode, One of the operation switch section (3) or (4),
In this embodiment, only the operation switch section (4) is effective.
At this time, the operation command from the operation switch section (3) becomes valid. At this time, even if an operation command from the operation switch section (3) is received, the mechanical control section (5) does not receive the operation command from the operation switch section (4), and the mechanical control section (5) receives the operation command from the operation switch section (4). ) And (6), a control signal is generated from the coordination controller (9) so that the same mechanical state is achieved.

In the above, all the operation switch parts (3) do not work,
This is a case where the operation switch section (4) is used as a substitute / coordination, but a part of the operation switch section, for example, a pause related to recording or a recording mute may be substituted / coordinated and the others may be operated independently.

The following operation can be considered as a case where a part of the operation switch section is used as a substitute / coordinate and the other is operated independently. That is, when the recording decks (1) and (2) are in the paused state, that is, the standby state, the front face recording paused state is recorded on the opposite side by operating, for example, the buttons FD and RV of the operation switch section (3). For example, when changing the direction of the temporary stop state, for example, the buttons FD, RV of the operation switch unit (4)
The direction of recording traveling in the paused state can be arbitrarily set, for example, by changing the direction of the front side recording paused state and the opposite side recording paused state by operating.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the linked mode, both decks work together by the operation input of the pause or record mute operation of one deck, and both decks are individually paused and record mute operation is performed. Possible simultaneous recording is also possible.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of the second embodiment of the present invention.
In the figure, parts corresponding to those in FIG. 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, one of the operation switch units (3) or (4), for example, a part of the operation switch unit (4) is used instead of the exclusive operation of the link mode start operation switch unit (8). . Therefore, a part of the operation information from the operation switch section (4), for example, the pause button PS
The information from is supplied to the coordination controller (9).

Therefore, if the temporary stop button PS of the operation switch unit (4) is pressed while the recording decks (1) and (2) are in the temporary stop state according to the setting information from the link mode setting operation switch unit (7). The mechanical control units (5) and (6) are controlled by the linkage control unit (9) so that the recording decks (1) and (2) start traveling at the same time. Of course, when the setting information from the operation switch unit (7) is not supplied to the linkage control unit (9), that is, when the linkage mode is not set, the pause button PS of the operation switch unit (6) is set.
Operates in the same manner as usual, that is, when the pause button PS is pressed, only the recording deck (2) is paused, and when it is pressed again, the pause operation is released.

Also in the present embodiment, the buttons FD and RV of the operation switch section (3) or (4) can be operated in the temporary stop state to arbitrarily set the recording traveling direction, as described above.

In this way, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be obtained in this embodiment as well, and in this embodiment, the link mode start operation switch section (8) is one of the operation switch sections (3) or (4). Since the parts can be substituted, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.

In each of the above-described embodiments, the case where both the recording decks (1) and (2) are capable of traveling in both directions has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, traveling in only one direction is possible. It may be possible or when only one can travel in both directions, and when only one can travel in both directions, one of the operation switch parts (3) or (4) on the side that can travel in both directions. The section sets the recording running direction of the deck that can run in both directions.

〔The invention's effect〕

As described above, according to the present invention, the plurality of tape drive mechanisms are provided with the operation switch portions that work independently of each other, and usually the independent operation is possible, and then the linkage mode setting operation switch portion is prepared. Then, when the link mode is set, both tape drive mechanisms are set to the same mechanism state by the operation input of one operation switch section, so it is possible to select the mode of single or link depending on the purpose of simultaneous recording. Can be selected, and the operation is simple and easy to understand. Further, even if the third operation switch section for performing the linked operation is not provided, one operation switch section is also used / cooperated with the other operation switch by setting the connection mode.
The hardware burden on the operation switch section is unnecessary.
