Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an automatic recording system that allows recording from a record player to a magnetic tape of a tape deck with extremely easy operation.

Conventionally, when recording from a record player onto a magnetic tape in a tape deck, the output from the record player was input to the tape deck and recorded onto the magnetic tape by operating a record button on the tape deck.

However, with this method, it is necessary to operate the record player and the tape deck, which is cumbersome to operate, especially when recording a song from an LP record onto magnetic tape. The disadvantage was that the tape deck had to be operated quickly because the time was only a few seconds.

This invention has been made in view of the above points, and includes detecting the playback state of a record player, shifting the tape recorder from a non-recording state to a recording state in the forward or reverse direction, and detecting the non-playback state. To provide an automatic recording system which can automatically record onto a magnetic tape of a tape recorder simply by operating a record player by shifting from a recording state to a non-recording state at times, and which is extremely easy to operate. purpose.

Embodiments of the automatic recording system of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of one embodiment of the present invention, and numeral 1 in FIG. 1 is a record player. This record player 1 is provided with a detection section 2 that detects when the tone arm 1a is placed on the record disc 1b. Incidentally, the detection section 2 is provided with a micro switch operated by the vertical movement of the tone arm 1a, and the detection is performed by this switch. However, the detection means is not limited to a microswitch, and detection may be performed by detecting a signal generated when the tone arm 1a is placed on a record.

A detection signal detected by the detection section 2 is inputted to a control section 4 via a switch 3. The output of the control section 4 is sent to the drive section 5. The drive section 5 is adapted to drive the tape deck 6. Also, tape deck 6
The recording head 11 is set to a recording state by the control section 4 at the same time as the recording head 11 is driven.

A signal indicating that the playback of the record disc 1b has been completed or an artificial recording stop signal from the outside is inputted to the detection section 2, and sent to the control section 4 to release the drive section 5 which is in the recording state. There is. Furthermore, the head 7 and the detection section 8 detect unrecorded portions between songs or longer during playback and recording, so that the drive section 5 is fast-forwarded via the control section 4, winds up to the end of the tape, and immediately reverses the tape. This enables the recording and playback of.

In addition, switches 3 and 9 in the figure may be linked, and switch 9 is used for recording and playback, and switch 3 is used for recording, so when switch 3 is turned on, switch 9 is linked. Even if switch 9 is turned on, switch 3 is turned on.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't turn on. Further, 10 is a signal source that sends a recording stop signal to the detection unit 2 from the outside.

Next, the operation of the automatic recording system of the present invention configured as described above will be explained. Figure 2a
is an operation time chart for single-sided playback, with the upper side showing the player and the lower side showing the auto-reverse tape deck.

First, in FIG. 2a, the tone arm 1a is set on the record 1b placed on the record player 1 at time A, and the detection section 2 detects that playback has started. A detection signal from the switch 2 enters the control unit 4 via the switch 3.

As a result, the control section 4 sends a control signal to the drive section 5, and the drive section 5 drives the tape deck 6. At the same time, the recording head 11 is put into the recording state by the control section 4.

In this way, the record player 1 becomes ready for playback, and the tape deck 6 becomes ready for recording.

During this time, the record 1b is rotating, and the time from time A to _t1 is a non-recording time for the record 1b.At time _t1 , the recorded contents of the record 1b are played back, and at time _T1 , the tape deck is loaded. Recording begins on the magnetic tape No. 6.

Between time t ₁ and t ₂ , the record 1b is being played, and between time T ₁ and T ₂ , the tape deck 6 is being played.
is being recorded on magnetic tape. And the time
From t ₂ to t ₃ (same time as time T ₂ ), record 1
This is the non-recording period longer than the interval between the songs recorded at time _t3 , or it is the time at which an external recording stop signal is input from the signal source 10 to the detection unit 2 at time t3.

At this time _t3 , the detection unit 2 detects the record 1
The control section 4 stops the playback by detecting the end of the playback of the signal 10 or by a signal from the signal 10, and causes the drive section 5 to cancel the recording. At this time, the tape deck simply stopped recording, but the tape was still running. Then, at this time _t3 , the record player 1 changes the record 1b from the A side to the B side.

In addition, on the tape deck 6 side, the head 7 detects the unrecorded portion between songs (usually about 4 seconds between songs), and fast-forwards the magnetic tape via the detection section 8, control section 4, and drive section 5. , stops at the end of the tape, and becomes ready for recording in the opposite direction. If you do not need automatic fast-forwarding, such as when you want to record just one song, you can turn off switch 9.

From time t ₃ to time t ₄ (A), the following first time
The same operation as from time t ₁ to time t ₃ is repeated. Similarly, from time T ₂ to T ₃ , time
At T ₃ , fast forwarding of the magnetic tape is finished and
The same operation as after the first time T ₁ is performed. Thus, when the playback of side B of record 1b is finished,
Recording on the magnetic tape in the tape deck 6 is also completed, and fast forwarding starts and stops at the end of the tape.

FIG. 3a shows the recorded portion 6a of the magnetic tape of the tape deck 6 for reproduction of side A of the record 1b, and FIG.
Magnetic tape recording part 6 for playback of side B of b
b.

Further, FIG. 2b shows the case of a record player for playing records on both sides, and the timing of playback on the record player 1 side and recording on the tape deck 6 side is the same as in the case of FIG. 2a, and time t ₃ The period between and time A is the standby time of the record player, when the tape is fast-forwarded, the end of the tape is detected, and the record player starts playing based on that signal. This is the same as in one embodiment.

As described above, according to the automatic recording system of the present invention, the playback state of the record player is detected, and the magnetic tape of the tape deck is shifted from the non-recording state to the forward or reverse recording state, thereby disabling the record player. When the playback state is detected, or when a recording stop signal is artificially input from the outside by a signal source, the magnetic tape shifts from the recording state to the non-recording state and runs the magnetic tape to the end of the running direction in the recording state. Therefore, just by operating the record player, the recording will be automatically recorded on the tape recorder. Therefore, when used in an auto-reverse tape deck, there is no need to change cassettes.

In addition, when playing back a magnetic tape recorded with the tape deck used in this invention, the unrecorded part is fast-forwarded and playback of the reverse side immediately begins, which also reduces the cumbersome operation. It is something that will disappear.
