Abstract
Abstract A recording apparatus is controlled by a recording information generating unit, so that the recording apparatus may be adapted to various recording information generating units. This is achieved by a signal generating unit which generates either a signal for requesting the information transmission from the recording information generating unit, or a signal for demanding the start of information recording.
