An audio and video recording and reproduction apparatus includes an audio signal switch section for outputting one of a first audio signal having a first volume level and a second audio signal having a second volume level by a switching operation; and a mute section for muting the first audio signal which is output from the audio signal switch section when the audio signal switch section switches the second audio signal to the first audio signal.

Audio and video recording and reproduction apparatus for reproducing audio signals having different volume levels

The present invention provides a record and playback apparatus including: a quantitative display unit of visually quantitative displaying a record time of a record-completed image recorded in the storage medium and the remaining recordable time; a record indicator control unit of displaying at least one of a playback position in the quantitative display of an in-playing back image or a record position in the quantitative display of an in-recording image; and an indicator selection and execution unit of selecting at least one of the playback indicator, the record indicator and the quantitative display each of which is a display object, and of executing a predetermined process based on a predetermined command to be inputted and the display object to be selected, and a record medium.

Record and playback apparatus and record medium

An audio and video recording and reproduction apparatus of the present invention is an audio and video recording and reproduction apparatus, comprising: an input switching device for switching an input between a first input signal including a first audio and video signal which is input from a first input, a second input signal including a second audio and video signal which is input from a second input, and a third input signal including a third audio and video signal which is input from a third input, and for outputting one of the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal; and a recording device for recording the second input signal and the third input signal on the information recording medium as one recording unit when the input switching device switches the input from the second input signal to the third input signal.

Audio and video recording and reproduction apparatus

An information recording and reproducing apparatus includes a record and reproduce section to record or reproduce information signal onto or from an information medium, a determination section to determine at least one of a kind and a state of the medium, a function management section to manage functions for recording and functions for reproduction, and to select functions which can be performed from the managed functions according to the determination result of the determination section, and a display control section to control a display unit to display a list of functions selected by the function management section.

Information recording and reproducing apparatus, and control method thereof

A magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus having a time code detecting block (16) for detecting and issuing a time code, a reset position memory (18) for storing the time code at a reset position, a previous time code memory (20) for storing the time code, a relative time memory (21) for storing a relative time, and a calculation block (19) for calculating a present relative time based upon the time code issued from the time code detecting block, the time code stored in the reset position memory, the time code stored in the previous time code memory, and the relative time stored in the relative time memory.

Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus and method of calculating a

A helical scan type digital recording/reproducing apparatus arranged such that data corresponding to m fields/frames are divisionally recorded in n tracks on a magnetic tape and a slow, still or frame advance reproduction mode is effected in response to an instruction from an external input. The apparatus is equipped with a signal processing circuit coupled to a rotary head for inputting data reproduced from the magnetic tape by the rotary head to store the reproduced data in a memory. In response to the instruction for the slow, still or frame advance reproduction mode, the signal processing circuit outputs a control signal when the data corresponding to one or more frames/fields are stored in the memory. Also included is a servo circuit coupled through a signal line to the signal processing circuit to be responsive to the control signal from the signal processing circuit. The servo circuit controls a capstan motor in accordance with the control signal and the reproduction mode instruction.

Apparatus for recording/reproducing digital data on/from recording medium

A colored styrenic resin composition comprises 100 parts by weight of a styrenic resin, 0.1 to 5 parts by weight of titanium oxide and 0.05 to 2.5 parts by weight of an organo-tin compound and in which the amount of the organo-tin compound is not less than 10% by weight on the basis of the amount of the titanium oxide. The resin composition ensures the production of injection-molded articles free of black streaks and, therefore, the articles formed from the resin composition of the invention have high commercial value. The colored styrenic resin composition is useful as a material for the production of housings of, for example, a variety of electric appliances and office machinery and equipment as well as miscellaneous goods.

Colored styrenic resin composition

A resin composition having excellent antistatic properties and practical physical properties. The resin comprises (i) a styrene resin; (ii) a polyethylene oxide having a viscosity-average molecular weight ranging from 15,000 to 1,200,000; (iii) either or both of a (meth) acrylate resin and an oxide selected from the group consisting of titanium oxide, zinc oxide and magnesium oxide; (iv) either a surfactant selected from specific sulfonic acid salts or a surfactant selected from specific alkyl sulfates; and, optionally, (v) a (poly)ethylene glycol having an average molecular weight ranging from 62 to 1,200. The resin composition also provides excellent resistance to hot water.
