Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a tape recorder having a mechanism capable of recording and reproducing in the forward and reverse directions with a tape attached thereto.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In recent years, auto-reverse type tape recorders have been widely used because of their ease of operation, which automatically switches to reverse tape running when the tape has finished running in the normal direction during recording or playback. However, with conventional auto-reverse tape recorders, when moving from recording pause mode to recording play mode, it is possible to directly move from the reverse recording pause mode to the reverse recording play mode or the forward recording play mode. There are tape recorders that can move from the reverse side recording pause mode to the reverse side recording play mode, but cannot directly change to the forward recording play mode.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in a tape recorder that can directly transfer from the recording pause mode on the reverse side to the recording play mode on the forward side and record on the forward side, it is necessary to start recording from the forward side and continue to the reverse side. There was a serious problem in that if, after performing a recording pause operation, the user accidentally pressed the switch for normal recording play, the previously recorded portion would be erased and a new recording would be made.

In addition, for tape recorders that cannot move from the recording pause mode on the reverse side to the recording play mode on the forward side, if the running direction immediately before starting recording is the reverse side and you try to start recording immediately, the tape recorder will be in the recording pause mode on the reverse side. Since the machine does not directly switch to the forward recording play mode, it is necessary to first shift the running direction to the forward rotation side, then change the recording pause mode to the forward rotation side, and then switch to the recording play mode. Moreover, when recording FM broadcasts, etc., there is a problem in that the opportunity to start recording is lost.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and it is possible to change from the reverse side recording pause mode to the forward side recording play mode only at the start of recording. In this case, the present invention provides a tape recorder that does not directly change from the reverse side recording pause mode to the forward recording play mode, but only changes the running direction and is controlled to enter the forward recording pause mode.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the tape recorder of the present invention includes a current mode memory section that stores the current operating mode of the mechanism section, and a memory section that stores the current operating mode of the mechanism section, and a memory section that stores the current operating mode of the mechanism section. an old mode memory section for storing an operation mode of the current mode memory section, a current mode memory determining means for determining the contents of the current mode memory section, and an old mode memory determining means for determining the contents of the old mode memory section; When the mode memory section is in reverse recording pause mode, when the forward play operation switch is pressed and a forward play command is input to the switch input section, when the old mode memory section is in stop mode or pause mode, the mechanism section is The control output section outputs a control signal so as to enter the transcription play mode, and when the old mode memory section is in the reverse recording play mode, the control output section causes the mechanism section to cancel the reverse recording pause mode. , and is configured to be controlled so as to enter the normal rotation recording pause mode.

According to the above-described structure, when the forward play switch is pressed while the current operation mode of the mechanism section is the inversion recording pause mode, the operation mode immediately before shifting to the current inversion recording pause mode is changed. Judging from the old mode memory section, if the previous operating mode is reverse recording play mode, it will not move to forward recording play mode but will go to forward recording pause mode, so there is no chance of accidentally erasing the already recorded part. Moreover, if the previous operation mode is stop mode or pause mode, it will immediately switch to forward recording play mode, so there is no need for tedious operations when starting recording.There is no need to lose the opportunity to start recording. When the previous operating mode is reverse recording pause, the device temporarily waits in forward recording pause mode, and after confirmation by the user, presses the forward play switch again to enter forward recording play mode. .
