Abstract
Abstract A recording apparatus for recording an information signal on a recording medium is arranged to be controlled according to control information read out from an external storage device which is attachable and detachable to and from the recording apparatus, so that the apparatus is not only simply operable but also has diverse functions. One of the features of the apparatus lies in that the timing of start or stop of recording can be synchronized with that of a signal combining action or a signal fade-in or fade-out action.
