Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an apparatus to edit and record a music recorded on a medium to the other medium with simplified operation by designating the data to be recorded to a second recording medium among those reproduced by a reproducing means, discriminating the possibility of recording from the amount of designated data and remaining capacity of the second recording medium, and then setting the recording standby condition when possibility of recording is discriminated. SOLUTION: When an edit switch 1 is depressed, whether such edition should be done on the MD or tape is detected from a signal transmitted from the edit switch 1 to be sent to a system controller 2. When the edit switch 1 judges the tape is designated, the system controller 2 moves to the tape edit mode. Moreover, when it is judged that the edit switch 1 has designated the MD, the edit signal is transmitted to the MD recorder side from the system controller 2 of CD player via the system communication controller 9.

[0005]

When the playback function is reproduced by a reproducing apparatus such as a CD player and the reproduced signal is recorded on a recording medium by a recording apparatus such as an MD recorder, an editing function is selected on the reproducing apparatus side.
The remaining recording capacity (remaining information) of a recording medium such as a D disk is read. When the user selects and designates a song on the playback device, the time information of the selected song is transmitted from the playback device to the recording device, and the recording device subtracts from the recording capacity (remaining time) by the transmitted time. In this case, the discrimination means determines whether or not all of the selected and designated songs can be recorded, and the time information of the song selected on the playback device side is the remaining recording capacity (remaining capacity) of the recording medium on the recording device side. If the recording time is longer than the recording time, the recording apparatus cannot perform standby on the reproducing apparatus side (N
G) A signal is sent and the reproduction apparatus displays a message such as insufficient recording capacity or recording impossible, and cancels the recording designation of the music selected and designated by the designation means.

[0006]

FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of an editing apparatus shown in one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, an editing switch 1 for instructing the start of editing, a system controller 2 for controlling each unit, a servo unit for reading a music signal of a CD 3, and a pickup unit are provided in the CD player unit of the editing apparatus. 4, RF amplifier section 5
And a signal processing unit 6 for processing music signals, an audio unit 7 for reproducing music signals, and a display unit 8 for displaying music information, and a system communication controller 9 for bidirectional data communication with an MD player. It is composed of

The MD recorder unit includes a system communication controller 10 for performing bidirectional data communication with a CD player unit, and a system controller 11 for controlling each unit.
Servo unit 12 and pickup unit 1 as in the case of D player
3, an RF amplifier unit 14, a signal processing unit 15, a display unit 16, a semiconductor memory 17 for preventing sound skipping, a semiconductor memory controller 18 for controlling the semiconductor memory 17, a data expansion / compression unit 19, and an audio unit 20. I have. And
The system communication controllers 9 and 10 of the MD recorder unit and the CD player unit respectively include a communication cable 2 between the microcomputers.
1 is connected.

Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the operation of the audio device according to one embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, in the STOP mode, the disc is mounted on the turntable (not shown) but is stopped (S1). When the edit switch 1 is pressed (S2), whether the edit is performed by MD,
A signal from the edit switch 1 is sent to the system controller 2 to detect whether the operation is performed by the TAPE (S3).
When it is determined that the edit switch 1 has instructed TAPE, the system controller 2 shifts to the TAPE edit mode (S4). Edit switch 1
Determines that the player has instructed the MD, an edit signal is transmitted from the system controller 2 of the CD player to the MD recorder via the system communication controller 9 (S
5).

The MD recorder section receives an edit signal through the system communication controller 10 through the microcomputer communication cable 21 provided in advance (S).
6). When the MD recorder receives the edit signal, the system controller 11 determines whether the state is in the STOP mode (stop state) (S7). If the MD recorder is in a state other than the STOP mode (playback, recording, etc.), the edit cancel signal To the CD player section (S10)
Then, the CD player section receives this (S11), and thereafter, displays the information.
Is displayed on the screen (S12). If the MD recorder unit is in the STOP mode, it is determined whether or not there is a DISK (S8). If there is no DISK, NODISK is displayed on the display unit 16 and the same processing as in the state other than the STOP mode is performed (S10). .

If the MD recorder has a DISK,
The U-TOC information of the DISK is read, and the storage capacity (remaining time) of the DISK is calculated by the system controller 11,
It displays (S13) and transmits a standby OK signal to the CD player unit via the system communication controller 10 (S13).
14). The CD player receives the standby OK signal (S
15) After that, it is determined whether the music is selected or performed (S16), and when performing, the mode is shifted to the play mode (S17). At the time of music selection, music time information is transmitted to the MD recorder via the system communication controller 9 (S18). The MD recorder reads the MD DI read in advance after receiving the music time information (S19).
The system controller 11 compares the storage capacity of the SK (remaining time) with the music time (S20), and when the remaining time ≧ the music time, transmits a standby OK signal to the CD player via the system communication controller 10 (S21). ) And CD
The player repeats the above-mentioned routine after receiving the standby OK signal. If the remaining time <the music time, a standby disable signal (NG) is transmitted to the CD player unit (S22). When the CD player section receives the stand-by disable signal (NG) (S23), it cancels the selected music (S2).
4), repeat the routine after receiving the standby OK signal.

As described above, the means for comparing the recording capacity of the MD recorder unit with the music time selected and specified by the CD player unit is provided, so that it is not necessary to check in advance whether or not the number of music can be recorded on the mini-disc. Easy to determine. further,
When the music time selected and specified by the CD player is larger than the recording capacity of the MD recorder, a signal for canceling the specified music is sent to the CD player. Can be shortened.

[0012]

According to the present invention, the reproducing means for reproducing the first recording medium by the communication means for mutually communicating data and the second reproducing means are provided.
Since the recording means for recording on the recording medium is connected, the amount of reproduction data designated by the reproduction means is compared with the remaining recording capacity of the second recording medium to determine whether or not recording is possible, and recording is performed. Recording and editing can be performed reliably with a simple operation.
