During the playback operation for freezing and storing a specific frame of a picture in a memory and thereafter printing the frame, the recording medium is turned reversely for a prescribed amount according to an instruction from a printer in response to the entry of the freeze command in order to accurately search the frame at the entry of the freeze, and thereafter the recording medium is played back in normal mode. The amounts of reverse turn and the successive forward turn in normal playback are counted and compared, and when the difference has become a prescribed value, a freeze signal is produced and the frame of the picture selected by the freeze command is stored in the memory and printed when required. This control method for use in a video print system is designed so that the recording medium is turned reversely for a prescribed amount according to an instruction from the printer and then stopped until the next command is entered.

Method and apparatus for controlling a video signal print system

A necessary signal portion of a control signal transmitted from a land station of a mobile telecommunication system during an idle period thereof is received intermittently by a mobile station, with an initial unstable operation period of the mobile station occurring in a period of an unnecessary signal portion of the control signal and a subsequent stable operation period thereof occurring in a period of the necessary signal portion of the control signal.
