Abstract
Abstract Additional information for each musical program is automatically recorded on an optical disc. A digital voice signal reproduced from a mini-disc is sent to an MD system via a digital voice signal line and recorded on another mini-disc. Additional information such as the title of a musical program is sent via a serial communication line 6 to a MD control microcomputer and stored in its RAM which stores U-TOC information. The U-TOC information stored in RAM is recorded on the mini-disc before it is dismounted from the MD system.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
210 words
An optical disc dubbing apparatus wherein: a digital voice signal output terminal of an optical disc reproduction apparatus for reproducing a musical program from a source optical disc having a TOC area storing the start address, end address, and additional information for each musical program is connected to a digital signal input terminal of an optical disc record apparatus for recording each musical program and the start address, end address, and additional information for each musical program in a TOC area of a target optical disc; a first microcomputer for controlling said optical disc reproduction apparatus is connected via a digital communication line to a second microcomputer for controlling said optical disc record apparatus; said second microcomputer instructs said first microcomputer to reproduce each musical program in a predetermined order, and records a digital voice signal received from said optical disc reproduction apparatus on said target optical disc; and said second microcomputer receives the additional information from said first microcomputer and stores the received additional information in a RAM, and records the start address, end address, and the additional information for each musical program stored in said RAM on a TOC area of said target optical disc before said target optical disc is dismounted from said optical disc record apparatus.

An optical disc dubbing apparatus wherein: a digital voice signal output terminal of an optical disc reproduction apparatus for reproducing a musical program from a source optical disc having a TOC area storing the start address, end address, and additional information for each musical program is connected to a digital signal input terminal of an optical disc record apparatus for recording each musical program and the start address, end address, and additional information for each musical program in a TOC area of a target optical disc; a first microcomputer for controlling said optical disc reproduction apparatus is connected via a digital communication line to a second microcomputer for controlling said optical disc record apparatus; said second microcomputer instructs said first microcomputer to reproduce each musical program in a predetermined order, and records a digital voice signal received from said optical disc reproduction apparatus on said target optical disc; and said second microcomputer receives the additional information from said first microcomputer and stores the received additional information in a RAM, and records the start address, end address, and the additional information for each musical program stored in said RAM on a TOC area of said target optical disc before said target optical disc is dismounted from said optical disc record apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
189 words
An optical disc dubbing apparatus wherein: a digital voice signal output terminal of an optical disc reproduction apparatus is connected to a digital signal input terminal of an optical disc record apparatus capable of over writing a musical program in a target optical disc; a first microcomputer for controlling said optical disc reproduction apparatus is connected via a digital communication line to a second microcomputer for controlling said optical disc record apparatus; said second microcomputer instructs said first microcomputer to reproduce each musical program, and records the digital voice signal received from said optical disc reproduction apparatus in said target optical disc; and said second microcomputer makes said optical record apparatus enter a record pause state when said second microcomputer judges that an unrecorded area of said target optical disc becomes absent, and instructs said first microcomputer to make said optical disc reproduction apparatus enter a reproduction pause state at the data position when the record was intercepted, whereby after a user erases a desired recorded track area of said target optical disc, the reproduction and record are resumed to continue the record at the erased recorded track area.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
189 words
An optical disc dubbing apparatus wherein: a digital voice signal output terminal of an optical disc reproduction apparatus is connected to a digital signal input terminal of an optical disc record apparatus capable of over writing a musical program in a target optical disc; a first microcomputer for controlling said optical disc reproduction apparatus is connected via a digital communication line to a second microcomputer for controlling said optical disc record apparatus; said second microcomputer instructs said first microcomputer to reproduce each musical program, and records the digital voice signal received from said optical disc reproduction apparatus in said target optical disc; and said second microcomputer makes said optical record apparatus enter a record pause state when said second microcomputer judges that an unrecorded area of said target optical disc becomes absent, and instructs said first microcomputer to make said optical disc reproduction apparatus enter a reproduction pause state at the data position when the record was intercepted, whereby after a user erases a desired recorded track area of said target optical disc, the reproduction and record are resumed to continue the record at the erased recorded track area.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
