Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is provided with a plurality of deck sections, and a track interval detection function capable of detecting the non-signal section between tracks on at least one deck section to enable the heading of tracks. The present invention relates to a tape recorder having.

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, as a song interval detection function of a tape recorder, when a no-signal portion is detected between songs in the song interval detection operation mode (fast forward playback or rewind playback mode), the deck section is stopped (or paused). There are two types, one for switching to the mode and one for switching to the playback mode immediately, which is very convenient for finding the desired song.

However, in the former case, a tape recorder having a track-to-track detection function that switches from the track-to-track detection operation mode to the stop mode requires the playback switch to be pressed immediately after detecting a no-signal portion when the desired track is to be played immediately. There was inconvenience.

In addition, the latter tape recorder having a music interval detection function that automatically switches from the music interval detection operation mode to the reproduction mode does not have the problem of the former, but it does not have the problem of the cassette tape of one deck such as the double cassette tape recorder. When the playback signal is recorded on the cassette tape of the other deck, when it is used in the playback deck of a tape recorder that performs dubbing, the recording side automatically switches to the playback mode immediately after the track interval is detected. It was not possible to prepare the deck part of the above, which was inconvenient.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Therefore, it is possible to consider a tape recorder provided with a function for detecting the music interval between both, but in this case, an operation for selecting two music interval detection functions becomes necessary, which makes the operation troublesome. ,
Operability may deteriorate. In addition, the number of operation switches is increased, and the arrangement on the operation panel must be taken into consideration, which is not practically sufficient.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and has two song interval detection functions, one for switching to a stop mode and one for switching to a playback mode when detecting a song interval, and two songs without losing operability. The present invention provides a tape recorder having a selectable interval detection function.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the tape recorder of the present invention is
Memorize the state of the dubbing switch that selects the dubbing mode for recording the playback signal of the cassette tape on the other deck or the normal mode for recording the signal input to the external input terminal when one deck is in the recording mode Stored in the means, when the music interval is detected by the music interval detecting means,
If the stored content of the storage means is a dubbing mode, the deck section is switched from the fast forward playback (or rewind playback) mode to the stop mode, and if the stored content is the normal mode, the deck section is fast forward played (or It is provided with a selection means for selecting an operation mode after the inter-track detection so that the rewinding reproduction mode is switched to the reproduction mode.

Operation According to the present invention, the state of the dubbing switch is memorized by the above-mentioned configuration, and when detecting a music interval, two music interval detecting functions, one for switching to the stop mode and one for switching to the reproduction mode, are automatically selected. Therefore, it is possible to select the two music interval detecting functions without impairing the operability.

Embodiment A tape recorder according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of essential parts showing an embodiment of a tape recorder of the present invention. In FIG. 1, 1 is a first deck section having at least a reproducing function, 2 is a second deck section having at least a recording function, and 3 is a first deck section 1 and a second deck section 2. Recording, playback, fast-forward, rewind, fast-forward playback, rewind playback, stop, etc., and dubbing to record the playback signal of the cassette tape of the first deck section 1 on the cassette tape of the second deck section 2. A deck control unit for controlling a mode and a normal mode for recording a signal input to an external input terminal, 4 is a dubbing switch for switching the dubbing mode or the normal mode, and 5 is a storage means for storing the state of the dubbing switch, The output signal of the storage means 5 is output to the deck control section 3 and the selection means 8 described later.
Entered in. Reference numeral 6 denotes a music interval detection switch for starting the music interval detection operation of the cassette tape mounted on the first deck unit 1 or the second deck unit 2. The output signal of the music interval detection switch 6 is sent to the deck control unit 3. Is entered. Reference numeral 7 is a music interval detecting means for detecting a no-signal portion between the music of the cassette tape in the music interval detecting operation. 8 is a first deck section 1 or a second deck section 2 during a music selection operation when the music interval is detected by the music interval detecting means 7 and the content of the storage means 5 is a dubbing mode.
Is a fast-forward playback or rewind playback mode, and if the content of the storage means 5 is a normal mode, the first deck section 1 or the second deck section 2 during the music selection operation is the fast-forward playback or rewind playback mode. To a reproduction mode and outputs a signal to the deck control section 3 to select an operation mode after the inter-track detection. In this embodiment, the deck control unit 3, the storage unit 5, and the selection unit 8 are realized by the microcomputer 9.

The operation of this embodiment will be described below with reference to the flowchart showing a part of the processing operation of the microcomputer 9 shown in FIG. 10 and 20 are connectors, which are connected in the middle of the whole flow chart (not shown) by the microcomputer 9. First, in the determination step 11, the state of the dubbing switch 4 is determined, and if it is the dubbing mode, "1" is stored in the storage means 5 which is a part of the memory unit of the microcomputer 9 in the processing step 12, and if it is the normal mode, the processing is performed. Step 1
In step 3, "0" is stored in the storage means 5, and the flow goes to the judgment step 14. Next, when the operation of detecting the music interval is started by the music interval detecting switch 6, the process proceeds to an output step 15, and the deck control section 3 including the logical operation unit section of the microcomputer 9 and the memory section 5 is the first deck section 1 or the second deck section. The deck section 2 outputs the control signal so that the deck section 2 enters the inter-track detection mode of the fast-forward reproduction or the rewind reproduction, and the flow goes to the judgment step 16. In this state, when the music interval detecting means 7 detects a music interval, the flow goes to a judgment step 17, and if the stored content of the storage means 5 is "1", the first deck part 1 or the first deck part 1 which is in the music selecting operation in the output step 18 is selected. If the stored content of the storage means 5 is "0" so that the second deck section 2 is set to the stop mode, the reproduction mode of the first deck section 1 or the second deck section 2 during the music selection operation in the output step 19 is performed. As described above, the deck control unit 3 outputs a control signal to reach the coupler 20.

As described above, according to this embodiment, the storage means 5 stores the state of the dubbing switch 4 in the memory, and when the stored content of the memory at the time of detecting the track interval is the dubbing mode, the operation state after the track interval detection is stopped. A tape having two inter-track detection functions because the mode is switched to another mode and the operation state after the inter-track detection is switched to the reproduction mode if the memory contents are in the normal mode. Even a recorder can be automatically switched without selecting the function, and operability does not deteriorate.

In addition, since one tape recorder has two song interval detection functions, as a cue function, if you want to open the playback sound immediately after the song interval is detected as in normal playback, it can be automatically played. Also, even if it is adopted in the mechanism on the reproducing side of the dubbing function such as a double cassette, it can be stopped after detecting the music interval so that the recording can be prepared, which is very effective as the music interval detecting function.

Further, since the number of operation buttons does not particularly increase, it is unnecessary to consider the arrangement on the operation panel.

As described above, according to the present invention, when one deck unit is in the recording mode, the diving mode in which the reproduction signal of the cassette tape of the other deck unit is recorded, or the signal input to the external input terminal is normally recorded. The state of the diving switch for selecting the mode is stored in the storage means, and when the music interval is detected by the music interval detection means, if the stored content of the storage means is the diving mode, the deck portion is fast forwarded (or played back). Operation after detecting the track interval so as to switch from the rewind reproduction mode to the stop mode, and to switch the deck section from the fast forward reproduction (or rewind reproduction) mode to the reproduction mode if the stored content is the normal mode By providing a selecting means for selecting the mode, the operation state after the inter-track detection is switched between the reproduction mode and the stop mode. Two types of song interval detection functions are possible, and two types of song interval detection functions can be automatically selected.
It has an excellent effect that operability can be greatly improved without requiring a special selection button and without complicating the arrangement of the operation panel.
