Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
An audio disk/memory disk player capable of playing both an audio disk and a memory disk, comprising: means for performing such control as to start playing a disk in response to a command; discriminating means for determining if a disk to be played is an audio disk or a memory disk; and means for performing such control as to play a music starting with a predetermined piece of music when the discriminating means judges that the disk to be played is the audio disk, and to set a pause mode when the disk to be played is judged as the memory disk.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
29 words
An audio disk/memory disk player as claimed in Claim 1, wherein the discriminating means determines the disk based on information read out from a lead-in area on the disk.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
124 words
An on-vehicle multisource reproducing device including multiple audio sources having a disk player as one audio source and a selecting means for selecting one of reproduction signals from the audio sources and supplying the selected reproduction signal to a loudspeaker, the device comprising: means for detecting that loading a disk to a play position is complete and for generating a loading complete signal; control means for starting playing the disk in response to the loading complete signal; discriminating means for determining if the disk being played is an audio disk or a memory disk; and means for sending a selection command to the selecting means to select the reproduction signal from the disk player only when the disk is judged as the memory disk.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
An on-vehicle multisource reproducing device as claimed in Claim 3, wherein the discriminating means determines the disk based on information read out from a lead-in area on the disk.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
45 words
An on-vehicle multisource reproducing device as claimed in Claim 3, further comprising: an indicator; and drive means for starting blinking the indicator at the beginning of disk loading and changing the indicator from blinking to continuous lighting when discrimination by the discriminating means is complete.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
26 words
An on-vehicle multisource reproducing device as claimed in Claim 3, further comprising a means for processing a reproduction signal from the disk player as image data.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
113 words
An audio disk/memory disk player capable of playing both an audio disk and a memory disk, comprising: means for setting a special play mode; discriminating means for determining if a disk being played is an audio disk or a memory disk; detecting means for detecting that playing for a memory area of a series of group information is complete; and control means for performing such control that, with the special play mode set, the mode is changed to a pause mode at a time of playing the memory disk when the detecting means generates a detection output, and the special play mode is enabled only at a time of playing the audio disk.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
26 words
An audio disk/memory disk player as claimed in Claim 7, wherein the special play mode is an auto repeat play mode or a random play mode.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
49 words
An audio disk/memory disk player as claimed in Claim 7, wherein the series of group information is audio information for one piece of music in case of the audio disk, and is a group of map data corresponding to a sheet of map in case of the memory disk.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
76 words
An audio disk/memory disk player operable in an operation mode corresponding an operation command, comprising: discriminating means for determining whether a disk being played is an audio disk or a memory disk; muting means for inhibiting transmission of an acquired reproduction signal to a loudspeaker when the discriminating means judges that the memory disk is being played; and means for ignoring at least one of operation commands based on a discrimination result from the discriminating means.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
89 words
A digital disk player having signal reading means for reading an information signal by rotating a loaded digital disk, decoding means for decoding the information signal, and signal processing means for reproducing a digital signal from the decoding means as an audio signal, the player comprising: detecting means for detecting that the loaded disk is a memory disk; and stop means for stopping supply of the digital signal from the decoding means to the signal processing means when the detecting means detects that the disk is a memory disk.
