A digital recording and reproducing apparatus comprising a cassette number registering circuit ( ) for applying different CIDs for respective cassettes, a corresponding control circuit ( ) for searching, adding and deleting program data, a cassette number inserting circuit ( ) for inserting a CID in the form of a digital signal into the VBI of an analog video signal, a cassette number extracting circuit ( ) for extracting a CID from a VBI, magnetic recording and reproducing means ( ) for recording and reproducing the analog signal by using a magnetic tape ( ), a display number registering circuit ( ) for applying an AID which corresponds to a CID and is recognized by a user, a memory circuit ( ) for storing program data including a CID, an AID, a starting tape position, an ending tape position and recording start date, a program integrating circuit ( ) which makes one AID corresponds to a plurality of CIDs, and, keeps programs having later date and deletes programs having older date when the recorded magnetic tape positions of the recorded programs under the plurality of CIDs overlap. The above structure enable amendment when a plurality of CIDs are registered for one cassette by mistake. In integration, an AID of smaller number is selected. (FIG. )

Automatic exposure control apparatus

A television system which includes a television set with cathode-ray tube, a VCR deck, a disc player, a tape deck and a radio tuner in one unit operated and controlled by a single remote control device. The cathode-ray tube displays a menu including a guide to help one use the remote control device. The television system also includes automatically selecting a preset or use determined favorite device, e.g. television set, and/or a channel when the system is turned on.

Television system including television set, and accessory devices

A fuzzy data processing device includes a data input portion for inputting data and first and second fuzzy regression model memories for storing first and second fuzzy regression models, respectively. In each fuzzy regression model, all coefficients are denoted as fuzzy values. A fitting degree calculator is provided to calculate a degree of fitting of the first fuzzy regression model to the second fuzzy regression model. A maximum detector detects the maximum of the calculated fitting degree. Thus, the estimated value (y*) is obtained at which the maximum degree of the fitting of fuzzy values Yx and Yz, i.e., the grade peak point of the overlapping portion, is observed.
