[Conventional technology]

In recent years, so-called double deck tape recorders equipped with two mechanical decks have appeared. Among such tape recorders, some have a simultaneous recording function, in which it is desired to simultaneously create two tapes with the same content for one source input. Even though we say simultaneous recording, for example, you may want to record one tape continuously and the other to record important points, or the tape lengths are different, so one tape may be recorded from the beginning. There may be cases where two decks are required to perform recording operations independently, such as wanting to start recording from the middle of one deck, or cases where the same content is recorded completely simultaneously from beginning to end. In addition, you can avoid pauses during recording and unnecessary parts (
As for operations such as recording muting, which cuts out FM broadcast commercials, etc. and creates unrecorded areas, there are cases where it is desired to encourage each of them independently as described above, and cases where it is desired to work in conjunction with each other at the same time.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

However, in the case of conventional equipment, for one source input,
Even if it was possible to make two tapes with the same content at the same time, it did not have the ability to operate the two decks independently or simultaneously at the recording stage.

This invention was made in view of this point, and in the linked simultaneous recording mode, two tape drive mechanisms are linked to perform the same operation by inputting an operation such as pausing one tape drive mechanism or recording mute, and two tape drive mechanisms are operated in the same manner. The object of the present invention is to provide a magnetic recording and reproducing device that can perform simultaneous recording and can individually perform operations such as pausing and recording mute.

The magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus according to the present invention includes first and second tape drive mechanisms (fly, f2), both of which can take at least two types of mechanical states: recording running and running stop, and these first and second tape drive mechanisms. first and second manual operation means (31, (41) that generate operation information for the drive mechanisms, respectively; and link mode setting operation means (41) that generate setting information for cooperatively operating the first and second tape drive mechanisms; 7), and a starting operation means (
8), and control means (51, (6), (91), configured such that after the linkage mode setting means sets the linkage mode, the recording simultaneous running operation is started by applying a start operation using the start operation means. There is.

[Effect]

In a magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus equipped with first and second tape drive mechanisms (11, (21) controlled by operation information from first and second operation input means f3), 14), a linked mode setting operation is performed. The control means (5) receives the setting information from the means (7) and the start information from the start operation means (8).

+61. +91 to the first and second tape drive mechanisms, the recording mode is set by the linked mode setting operation means, and the recording mode is temporarily put into a standby state.
Thereafter, by applying a starting operation using the starting operation means, the recording simultaneous running operation is started. Thereby, simultaneous recording can be performed reliably.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, various embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on FIGS. 1 to 3.

FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention. In the same figure, (1) indicates a first mechanical state of a magnetic tape (not shown) which can be in at least two types of mechanical states: recording running and running stopped. (2) is a recording deck as a second tape drive mechanism that can assume at least two mechanical states of recording running and stopping of magnetic tape; (3) a recording deck as a second tape drive mechanism;
) is an operation switch unit as a first operation input means for generating operation information for the recording deck (1), and (4) is a second operation input means for generating operation information for the recording deck (2). This is the operation switch section. Operation switch section (3).

(4), for example, as shown in Fig. 3, a stop button SP, a running button FD on the front side, a running button RV on the opposite side, a recording button RC1, a fast forward button FF, a rewind button RW, and a temporary button. Various operation buttons such as a stop button PS1 and a recording mute button RM are provided.

(5) is a mechanical control unit that receives operation information from the operation switch unit (3) and drives and controls the recording deck (11) based on the operation information; (6) is a mechanical control unit that receives operation information from the operation switch unit (3);
) receives operation information from the mechanical control section that drives and controls the recording deck (2) based on the operation information, and (7) coordinately operates the recording deck (1) and the recording deck (2). (8) a link mode setting operation switch section as a link mode setting operation means for generating setting information; (8) a link mode start operation switch section as a start operation means for generating start information for starting the recording simultaneous running operation; (9) is a linkage control section that receives setting information and activation information from the operation switch sections (7) and (8) and controls the mechanical control sections (5) and (6). Note that the mechanical control unit f51. (61 and the linkage control unit (9) can be configured with one microcomputer, etc.) When setting information is generated from the operation switch unit (7), the linkage control unit (9) connects the mechanical control unit (5). and (6)
to set recording deck (1) and recording deck (2) to operate in conjunction with each other.
2) is held in a paused state (standby state) for a predetermined period of time, and then, when activation information is generated from the operation switch section (8), the mechanical control sections (5) and (6) are configured to hold the recording deck ( 11 and (2) to start running at the same time, that is, both recording decks (1) and (2) are brought into the recording state.

Now, when linkage mode setting information is generated from the operation switch unit (7), the linkage control unit (9) switches to the mechanical control unit (5).
and (6) to set the recording deck (1) and the recording deck (2) to be operated in conjunction with each other, and to bring both decks into a suspended state for a predetermined period of time. After that, when the operation switch unit (8) generates linkage mode activation information,
The linkage control section (9) controls the mechanical control sections (5) and (6) to cause the recording decks (1) and (2) to start running at the same time.

When the linkage mode is set by the operation switch unit (7), the mechanical control unit (
5) and (6) are controlled, but in this linked mode, one of the operation switch sections (3) and (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 is received from the operation switch section (3), the mechanical control section (5) does not accept it;
) The linkage control unit (9) receives an operation command from the linkage control unit (9), and a control signal is generated from the linkage control unit (9) so that the mechanical control units (5) and (6) are in the same mechanical state.

Note that the above is a case where all of the operation switch parts (3) are ineffective and the operation switch part (4) is substituted/linked.
Only a part of the operation switch section, for example, recording-related pause and recording mute, may be substituted or linked, and the others may operate independently.

The following operation can be considered in the case where some of the operation switch parts are substituted or linked, and the others work independently. That is, when the recording decks (1) and (2) are in a paused state, that is, in a standby state for a predetermined period of time, for example, the buttons FD and RV of the operation switch section (3) are operated to reverse the recording paused state on the front side. Pausing, such as changing the direction of the side recording paused state, or changing the direction between the front side recording paused state and the opposite side recording paused state by operating buttons FD and RV of the operation switch unit (4), for example. You can arbitrarily set the direction in which you want to record.

In this way, in this embodiment, in the linked mode, when one deck is input to pause or record mute, both decks cooperate and perform the same operation, and when both decks are individually paused or recorded to mute, Simultaneous recording is also possible.

FIG. 2 shows the configuration of a 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 explanation thereof will be omitted.

In this embodiment, the linked mode starting operation switch section (8) is provided exclusively, and the operation switch section (3) or (4) is provided exclusively.
), for example, a part of the operation switch section (4). Therefore, operation suiso 1,000 parts (4)
For example, part of the operation information from the temporary stop button PS is supplied to the linkage control section (9).

Therefore, when the recording decks (11 and (2)) are in the paused state based on the setting information from the link mode setting operation switch section (7), if the pause button PS of the operation switch section (4) is pressed, The mechanical control units (5) and (6) are controlled by the linkage control unit (9) to control the recording deck (1).
) and (2) start running at the same time. Of course, the setting information from the operation switch section (7) is transferred to the link control section (9).
In other words, when the connection mode is not set, the pause button PS of the operation switch section (6) works in the same way as usual, that is, when the pause button PS is pressed, only the recording deck (2) is activated. works as if it were to pause and then be pressed again to cancel the pause action.

Also in this embodiment, the operation switch section (
3) or (4), the method of recording driving can be arbitrarily set by operating buttons FD and RV, as described above.

In this way, the same effects as in the first embodiment can be obtained in this embodiment, and furthermore, in this embodiment, the linked mode activation operation switch section (8) is replaced by the operation switch section (3) or (4).
) can be substituted, which simplifies the configuration and reduces cost.

In addition, in each of the above-mentioned embodiments, recording decks (1) and (2) are used.
) are both capable of traveling in both directions, but the invention is not limited to this; for example, both vehicles may be capable of traveling in one direction only, or only one of them may be capable of traveling in both directions. If only one side can travel in both directions, the operation switch part (3) on the side that can travel in both directions.
Or, by a part of (4), the recording travel direction of the deck that can travel in both directions is set.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As described above, according to the present invention, a plurality of tape drive mechanisms are provided with operation switch sections that operate independently, and a linked mode setting operation switch section is provided after normally being able to operate independently. However, when the linked mode is set, both tape drive mechanisms are put into the same mechanical state by inputting an operation from one operation switch.
You can choose between independent or linked motes depending on the purpose of simultaneous recording, and operation is simple and easy to understand. Furthermore, even if a third operation switch section for performing linked operations is not provided, one operation switch section can be used and linked to the other operation switch by setting the connection mode, and the third operation switch section No additional hardware burden is required.
