Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To start duplicating operation and to improve operability by inserting an unrecorded disk into a recording device, before inserting into the recording device a disk to be duplicated. SOLUTION: When an unrecorded disk is inserted into a CD-R drive 3 and then a disk to be duplicated is inserted into CD-ROM drive 2, the CD-ROM drive 2 reproduces the disk to be duplicated and reads the recorded data and also the CD-R drive 3 records the read data in the unrecorded disk. Duplication is thus performed.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a disc duplicating apparatus for duplicating a duplicated disc such as a CD-ROM onto an unrecorded disc.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As the prior art, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 4-1
There is one disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 34667. That is, the compact disc reproducing device, the CDWO device, the reference oscillator for giving a common clock to them, and the respective optical pickups of the compact disc reproducing device and the CDWO device are aligned with the TOC head position of the optical disc to start reproduction and recording. A compact disc duplicating apparatus having a control circuit, an EFM signal waveform forming circuit and a timing setting circuit obtained from a compact disc reproducing apparatus, and recording the EFM signal on an optical disc by a CDWO device without demodulating the EFM signal. Have been described.

However, in the ordinary disc duplicator, the duplicated disc is inserted into the reproducing device, the unrecorded disc is inserted into the recording device, and the start switch is pressed when the preparation is completed to start the operation. It had to be started and had the drawback of poor operability. Here, a system that inserts both of these disks into each device and automatically starts the duplication operation is conceivable.
If the order of inserting the discs is not specified, there is a problem that only the reproducing apparatus operates before inserting the duplicated disc and inserting the unrecorded disc, and another problem that the duplication operation cannot be performed occurs. Moreover, in such a device,
There is no verify function, it is necessary to prepare a separate verify system, there is no verify execution function after the duplication operation is completed, and it is not possible to select whether or not to execute verification.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a disk duplicating apparatus having good operability.

[0005]

According to the present invention, in order to achieve the above object, a reproducing means for reproducing a duplicated disk, a recording means for recording information on an unrecorded disk, and the reproducing means. In a disc duplicating apparatus comprising a control unit for reproducing information on a duplicated disc by means and controlling the reproduced information to be recorded on an unrecorded disc by the recording unit, the unrecorded disc is inserted into the recording unit. After that, when the duplicating means is inserted into the reproducing means, the duplication operation is started. If the unrecorded disc is inserted into the recording device after the duplicated disc is inserted into the reproducing device, the duplication operation is not performed. Insert the duplicated disc into the recording means,
When the duplicated disc is inserted in the reproducing means, verification is performed. The present invention is characterized in that selection switching means is provided for executing verification after the duplication operation is completed.

[0006]

According to the disc duplicating apparatus of the present invention, when the unrecorded disc is inserted into the recording device and then the duplicated disc is inserted into the reproducing device, the duplication operation is started. If the order of inserting these discs is reversed, the duplication operation is not started and the duplication is not executed. When the duplicated disc is inserted into the recording device and the duplicated disc is inserted into the reproducing device, the verify operation is performed. Further, the verify operation is performed by switching the selection switching means after the duplication operation is completed.

[0007]

The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples. As shown in FIG. 1, the disc duplicating apparatus according to the present embodiment has a controller 1 for controlling the entire apparatus, a CD-ROM drive 2 as a reproducing means for reproducing a duplicated disk, and this CD-ROM. It comprises a CD-R drive 3 as a recording means for recording the data of the duplicated disc reproduced by the drive 2 on an unrecorded disc. The reproducing means is a CD-R
The present invention is not limited to the OM drive, and may be any one that can reproduce a duplicated disc such as a CD-R drive.

FIG. 2 shows another embodiment, which is a changeover switch 5 for changing over to a verifying operation after the duplication operation is completed.
Is provided. That is, when the changeover switch 5 is off, the duplication operation is completed, and when it is on, the verify operation is executed.

Next, the operation of this apparatus will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. First, it is checked whether a disc is inserted in the CD-R drive 3 (9), and if NO, it is checked whether a disc is inserted in the CD-ROM drive 2 (10), NO. In the case of, the process returns to the step (9) again and waits for input of the disc.
When there is a disc in the CD-R drive 3 in the step (9) or when there is a disc in the CD-ROM drive 2 in the step (10), the disc in the CD-R drive 3 is unrecorded. It is checked whether the disc is a disc (11). CD
If an unrecorded disc is inserted into the R drive 3, the input of the duplicated disc to the CD-ROM drive 2 is waited (12), and when the duplicated disc is inserted, the duplication operation is started. . That is, in this disc duplication device, when an unrecorded disc is inserted into the CD-R drive 3 and then a duplicated disc is inserted into the CD-ROM drive 2, the duplicated disc is reproduced by the CD-ROM drive 2. The recorded data is read, and the read data is recorded on the unrecorded disc by the CD-R drive 3, that is, duplicated.
Then, it is confirmed whether or not this duplication operation is completed. If the duplication operation is completed, it is judged whether the changeover switch 5 is on or off as shown in FIG. 2, and if it is off, the duplication operation is completed. On the other hand, if it is on, the verification is started (17). That is, the data on the duplicated disc is read from the CD-ROM drive 2, while the data recorded on the duplicated disc is read from the CD-R drive 3 and these read data are compared, so that the duplicated disc is accurately duplicated. Check whether or not.

On the other hand, in the step (11) above,
If the disc in the CD-R drive 3 is not an unrecorded disc, it is checked whether it is a duplicated disc, and if NO, the disc is ejected (20). On the other hand, YE
In the case of S, it is determined whether the disc inserted in the CD-ROM drive 2 is a duplicated disc,
CD-ROM drive 2 if it is not a duplicated disc
The input of the duplicated disk is awaited. CD-ROM
If the disc inserted in the drive 2 is a duplicated disc, verification is executed (17).

[0011]

According to the disc duplicating apparatus of the present invention, when an unrecorded disc is inserted into the recording device and then the duplicated disc is inserted into the reproducing device, the duplication operation is started, so that the operability is improved. The effect is that it can be duplicated. Further, when the order of inserting these discs is reversed, the duplication operation is not started, so that the user can perform the duplication operation without error. Further, when the duplicated disc is inserted into the recording device and the duplicated disc is inserted into the reproducing device, the verify operation is performed, so it is not necessary to prepare a separate verify system.
The quality of the duplicated disk can be checked easily and efficiently. Since the verifying operation can be executed by switching the selection switching means after completion of the copying operation, the user himself / herself can select whether or not to execute the verifying according to the purpose, and the copying operation can be performed efficiently. Has the effect.
