Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic cassette tape dubbing device.

Conventionally, there has been a cassette player equipped with a playback function section that performs a playback operation in response to the operation of a play button, a playback function section that performs a playback operation in response to the operation of the play button,
There is also a product that combines a cassette recorder with a recording function section that goes into recording standby mode when the record button is operated and shifts from the recording standby mode to the recording operation mode when the play button is operated. The tape can be played back on the cassette player side, and played and recorded on the cassette recorder side, respectively.Furthermore, the cassette player plays back the cassette tape, and the playback signal is transferred to the cassette recorder to other cassettes. It is configured to perform dubbing operations for recording onto tape.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional device, when performing a dubbing operation, it is necessary to operate the play button on the cassette player side and the record button and play button on the cassette recorder side one after the other. and the recording operation on the cassette recorder cannot be started at the same time, resulting in a time lag. As a result, there have been problems in that the beginning of the reproduced signal cannot be recorded, or that an extra unrecorded portion is created at the beginning of the recording cassette tape.

The present invention solves the above problems by providing a common play button on a cassette player and a cassette recorder, and by operating the record button on the cassette recorder and then operating the common play button, playback operations can be performed on the cassette player. , it is possible to start recording operations simultaneously on a cassette recorder.

Embodiments of the present invention shown in the drawings will be described in detail below.

In this embodiment, a stereo cassette player having a playback function and a stereo cassette recorder having recording and playback functions are combined. In addition to the above-mentioned functions, the above-mentioned cassette player and cassette recorder are equipped with conventionally well-known fast-forward and rewind functions, as well as play buttons,
A fast forward button, a rewind button, etc. are provided individually, and the main parts of the present invention will be explained below based on FIG. 1.

SW1 is a play button common to cassette players and cassette recorders, SW2 is a record button of cassette recorders, SW3 is a stop button common to cassette players and cassette recorders,
M1 is a play operation instruction section that outputs an instruction signal to the playback function section M4 of the cassette player and the recording function section M5 of the cassette recorder when the play button SW1 is turned on, and M2 is the recording function section M5 when the record button SW2 is turned on. M3 is a stop operation instruction section that outputs an instruction signal to the playback function section M4 and the recording function section M5 when the stop button SM3 is turned on.

The reproduction function section M4 includes a reproduction head, a reproduction circuit,
It includes various parts necessary for reproduction, such as a rotating section and an operation instruction reading circuit, and enters a reproduction operation state when an instruction signal is input from the play operation instruction section M1. The recording function section M5 includes various sections necessary for recording such as a recording head, a recording circuit, a rotating section, an operation instruction reading circuit, etc., and enters a recording standby state when an instruction signal is input from the recording operation instruction section M2. (For example, the recording head is in contact with the cassette tape and the running of the tape is stopped). When an instruction signal is input from the play operation instruction section M1 in the recording standby state, the recording operation state is entered.

In the above configuration, when dubbing,
First, turn on record button SW2. Then,
The recording operation instruction section M2 outputs an instruction signal after confirming the ON operation of the record button SW2, and then outputs an instruction signal to the recording function section M5.
, and the functional unit M5 enters a recording standby state.

Next, turn on the play button SW1. Then,
The play operation instruction section M1 confirms the ON operation of the play button SW1 and then instructs the playback function section M4 and the recording function section M5.
Input the instruction signal to. As a result, the reproduction function section 4 enters the reproduction operation state and plays back the cassette tape, and at the same time, the recording function section M5 shifts from the recording standby state to the recording operation state and records the reproduced signal onto the cassette tape.

In this way, when dubbing, press record button SW2.
If the user then operates the common play button SW1, the playback operation on the cassette player and the recording operation on the cassette recorder will start at the same time. Therefore, there is no possibility that the first part of the reproduced signal cannot be recorded or that an extra unrecorded part is created at the beginning of the cassette tape on the recording side.

As described above, according to the present invention, by operating the record button of the cassette recorder and then operating the play button common to the cassette player and the cassette recorder, it is possible to start the playback operation and the recording operation at the same time. Dubbing can be performed without causing such problems, and the operability is also excellent.
