There is disclosed a method in which a recording section configured to record an external input signal, and a display signal output section configured to output a display signal based on at least one of the external input signal and a reproduction signal from the recording section are used. Here, when the display signal output section outputs the external input signal as the display signal, and a predetermined temporary interruption state is set at this time, the external input signal is recorded in the recording section.

Digital recording/reproducing apparatus with built-in storage medium

The apparatus comprises a first medium, a first recording/reproducing section which can record information on or can reproduce information from the first medium, a second recording/reproducing section which can record information on or can reproduce information from a second medium, and a display signal output section. The apparatus is configured to compose input information, being subjected to recording of the first recording/reproducing processing section, with a reproduction signal, being reproduced by the first recording/reproducing processing section. A result of composition is then output to the display signal output section.

Digital recording/reproducing apparatus

Input programming data items are recorded into a memory contained in an apparatus. That one of the programming data items recorded in the memory, which is requested to be recorded in a recording medium, is read from the memory, transferred to the recording medium and recorded thereon. Programming data for usual record programming and for record programming using a specified recording medium can be managed in a centralized manner by referring to the programming data items recorded in the memory.

Recording/reproducing apparatus and method with record programming function

An image reproducing apparatus reproducing image information, having a reproduction processor reproducing the image information stored in the recording medium, a key input section having a skip key, a first skip processor, when the skip key is pressed one time, skipping the reproduction of the image information by the reproduction processor for a first predetermined period and resuming the reproduction of the image information by the reproduction processor after the first predetermined period is passed, and a second skip processor, when the skip key is pressed twice in a certain period, skipping the reproduction for a second predetermined period having the first predetermined period and a third predetermined period which is longer than the first predetermined period and resuming the reproduction of the image information by the reproduction processor after the second predetermined period is passed.

Image reproducing apparatus having skip function

In an image recording/reproducing apparatus capable of handling a hard disk and an optical disk, when just-recording on the hard disk has been requested, if a residual recording capacity of the hard disk is more than a residual recording capacity of the optical disk that is in a non-recorded state, a compression encoding rate for image information is set by regarding the residual recording capacity of the hard disk as being equal to the residual recording capacity of the optical disk in the non-recorded state.

Image recording/reproducing apparatus and method

A recording rate automatic setting recording device which, a microcomputer block, detects a recording time on the basis of recording reservation information, and detects an entire capacity and a remaining capacity of a first recording surface of an information recording medium, and assumes that a capacity which is at least half of the entire capacity of the first recording surface is a remaining capacity of a second recording surface of the information recording medium, and calculates an entire remaining capacity by adding together the remaining capacity of the first recording surface and the remaining capacity of the second recording surface, and sets a recording bit rate from the entire remaining capacity and a reservation recording time.

Recording rate automatic setting recording device and recording rate automatic setting recording method

An information recording device which handles a plurality of recording surfaces has a recording device which, when the remaining recording capacity of a first recording surface is less than a predetermined capacity, continues to record the target information onto a first recording surface, and records the same target information onto a hard disk as well. When a second recording surface is provided, the recording device stops recording onto the hard disk, and records following target information onto the second recording surface, and records the target information, which was partially recorded on the hard disk, so as to be duplicated with a part of the target information recorded on the first recording surface.

Information recording device which handles a plurality of recording surfaces and information recording method which handles a plurality of recording surfaces

A multi controller according to the present invention comprise first operating means for generating a control signal in association with a declination operation in plural directions, second operating means for generating a control signal in association with a rotation operation in a circular arc, and third operating means for generating a control signal in association with a shifting operation in front and back. Depending on the mode which is being executed, the control signal generated by the same operating means controls various operations.

Multi controller

In an apparatus and method of reproducing a data unit consisting of a stream of packs of main picture data, a data unit consisting of a stream of packs of audio data, and a data unit consisting of a stream of packs of sub-picture data, which recorded on an optical disk and which are reproducible in the same time slot, reproduction data of the data unit including the sub-picture data is reproduced is reproduced by a sub-picture decoder section after reproduction data of the data unit including the audio data and reproduction data of the data unit including the video data are simultaneously reproduced by a video decoder section and an audio decoder section, and after the reproduction data of the data unit including the sub-picture, the reproduction data of the data unit including the audio data and the reproduction data of the data unit including the video data are simultaneously reproduced again.
