Abstract
Upon recording, movable terminals b of switches and are switched to the terminals a sides, whereas upon reproduction, they are switched to the terminals a sides. A controller controls switches and so that memories - through- respectively store the data from a decoder , e.g., the data in every predetermined units corresponding to individual one cycles of assigned time slots, for example. The respective data stored in the memories - through- are successively read in predetermined time slots and recorded on recording unit through a time-sharing type bus . Upon reproduction, the respective data given in the predetermined units are successively written into the memories - through - in predetermined time slots through the bus and output via an encoder in one cycle of the time slots. Writing and reading processes are not executed simultaneously within the same memory and the recording and reproduction of data can be properly performed with ease. Data antecedent to and prior to the present time are stored in the memories, so that the response to a special reproducing operation can be made excellent.
