Abstract

PURPOSE:To omit the tape rewinding time and to repeat reproduction many times by adding a memory means excluding a magnetic tape to a sound recording/reproducing device containing a magnetic tape. CONSTITUTION:The sound signal supplied through a microphone 5 is stored to a cassette tape 4 through a line 8. When an automatic repetitive reproduction is desired, the sound signal is stored to a memory 3 via a line 11. The control signal sent from a switch 6 is set to the memory 3 via a line 12 for control of the start and end of sound recording. It is possible to deliver the stored sound signal to a speaker 2 via a line 10. Two types of signals, i.e. the repetitive reproduction start and end signals are transmitted to a line 13 from a switch 7. When the contents stored in the memory are thoroughly delivered to the speaker 2, the sound signal is repetitively delivered again from the head of the memory 3. When the reproduction is stopped, the reproduction end signal is repetitively delivered from the switch 7.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a recording/reproducing device, and particularly relates to a tape recorder.

With conventional Konoho tape recorders, when playing back a tape, it was necessary to record the tape and then rewind it at a certain position. Therefore, when reproducing the same portion over and over again, it is necessary to rewind the video each time.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a recording and reproducing apparatus which solves the above-mentioned drawbacks and can automatically reproduce and repeat a number of times without rewinding the tape.

The present invention provides a recording/playback device equipped with a magnetic tape,
The recording/reproducing apparatus is characterized in that it also includes a storage means other than the magnetic tape.

According to the present invention, audio can be stored in memory from tapes and microphones, and recorded content can be automatically repeatedly played back in an arbitrary range without rewinding the tape, which was not possible with conventional tape recorders. This effect can be obtained.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a recording and reproducing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure.

This recording and reproducing apparatus includes a tape recorder main body 1 consisting of a memory 3, a cassette tape 4, and a memory control switch 6, 7, a speaker 2, and a microphone 5. Audio signals ° are basically transmitted and received in the direction of the arrow. That is, the audio signal input from the microphone 5 passes through the line 8 and is stored on the cassette tape 4. This accumulated audio signal can be output to the speaker 2 via the line 9, but if automatic repeat playback is to be performed here, it is accumulated in the memory 3 via the line 11.

The switch 6 controls storage in the memory 3, for example, a semiconductor memory, that is, the start and end of recording in the memory 3. A control signal sent from this switch 6 is sent to the memory 3 via a line 12 to control the start and end of recording.

The accumulated audio signal can be output to the speaker 2 via line 10. The switch 7 controls this output. There are two types of signals sent from the switch 7 via the reline 13: a repeat playback start signal and a repeat playback end signal, and the former outputs the contents stored in the memory 3 to the speaker 2. When all the contents of the memory 3 have been output, the audio signal is output again from the beginning of the memory 3. With the above, it becomes possible to automatically repeat playback. To stop the reproduction, a repeat reproduction end signal is sent from the switch 7.

According to the present invention, as explained above, by storing data using a storage device other than tape.

The effect is that tape rewinding time can be omitted and playback and rewinding can be performed semi-automatically many times.

Particularly, according to the present invention, remarkable effects can be obtained in cases where learning English conversation requires many repetitions.
