Abstract
A recording apparatus for recording a video signal on a recording medium together with data signals relative to the video signal comprises a first signal processing channel in which the data signals are supplied to a monitor in a state of being superimposed on the video signal, a second signal processing channel in which the data signals are supplied to the monitor without being superimposed on the video signal and a selector which selectively renders the first signal processing channel or the second signal processing channel operative. Where a display of the recording video signal on the monitor is excessively covered and hidden by that of the data signal, the second signal processing channel is selected and operated to permit adequate visual confirmation on the monitor of the video signal to be recorded.
