Abstract
An information recording and reproducing apparatus for copying information from a master medium to a plurality of copying media, including a master medium reproducing unit for reading information from the master medium; a plurality of copying-medium recording unit for writing the information read from the master medium onto copying media; and a copying operation controlling unit for controlling the above-described recording and reproducing units; wherein a copying process is started when the copying operation controlling unit detects the mounting of a master medium into the master medium reproducing unit. At the end of a copying process, successful media are automatically ejected from the apparatus, whereas unsuccessful ones remain in the apparatus without being ejected, so that a user can easily know which media are successful and which ones are unsuccessful.
