Abstract

Abstract The application relates to an optical disk reproducing apparatus, such as a compact disk player or the like, facilitating an operation for recording on a cassette tape a plurality of information recorded on a disk by combining an optical disk reproducing apparatus with a cassette tape recorder and by arbitrarily editing a plurality of the foregoing information recorded on a disk. The tape length specified by the operator is automatically divided into a half to obtain a length of one side of a cassette tape, and the number of pieces of music on the disk which an be reproduced within the reproduction time corresponding to the time of the length of one side of said cassette tape is calculated, thereby causing the music number(s) of the piece(s) of music to be stored.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
An optical disk reproducing apparatus comprising a tape length specifying means which specifies to a control unit a length of magnetic recording tape to be used for recording a playing signal on a disk, a display unit which displays a tape length specified by the tape length specifying means, a specified reproduction time division unit which obtains a half the length of the specified tape length, and a reproduced music operation unit which calculates the number of pieces of music on a disk that can be reproduced within a reproduction time obtained by the division unit, stores the music numbers of said pieces of music in a disk or edits operates arbitrarily specified musics.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 114 words
An optical disk reproducing apparatus comprising a tape length specifying means which specifies to a control unit a length of magnetic recording tape to be used for recording a playing signal on a disk, a display unit which displays a tape length specified by the tape length specifying means, a specified reproduction time division unit which obtains a half the length of the specified tape length, and a reproduced music operation unit which calculates the number of pieces of music on a disk that can be reproduced within a reproduction time obtained by the division unit, stores the music numbers of said pieces of music in a disk or edits operates arbitrarily specified musics.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 54 words
An optical disk reproducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said tape length specifying means has a fixed time storage unit which stores a prearranged fixed time and a fixed tape length specifying means which specifies a tape length to the control unit by specifying the time stored in said fixed time storage unit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 91 words
An optical disk reproducing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the tape length specifying means has a fixed time storage unit which stores a prearranged fixed time, a fixed tape length specifying means which specifies the control unit with a tape length by specifying the time stored in said fixed time storage unit, an arbitrary time input means which inputs an arbitrary time into the control unit, and an arbitrary tape length specifying means which specifies an arbitrary tape length to the control unit by using said arbitrary time input means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 25 words
An optical disk reproducing apparatus according to claim 2 or claim 3, wherein the fixed time comprises 90 minutes or 60 minutes or 46 minutes.
