Abstract
Abstract In order to record information from a compact disc apparatus to an automatic reversing cassette tape recorder without any loss of the information, the compact disc player (22) and the cassette tape recorder (13) are synchronously started by a reproducing start control means (21). When the cassette tape comes to one end, a tape end detection means (10) issues a pulse, making the compact disc player pause for a 1-2 sec. time period. This period is longer than the time period required for reversing the cassette tape recorder so the compact disc player (22) does not reproduce the information direction change, by the cassette tape recorder (13), while the tape continues. This prevents loss of information reproduced by the compact disc player (22) during the tape reversing.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
An information reproducing and recording apparatus comprising: a disc reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on a disc, a recording apparatus for recording the information reproduced from said disc on a recording medium having at least two running directions, recording start control means for controlling the start of said disc reproducing apparatus a predetermined time after the start of the recording apparatus, end detection means for detecting the end of said recording medium, reversing means for reversing the running direction of the recording medium in the recording apparatus, pause control means for pausing said reproducing information from said disc reproducing apparatus when the end detection means detects the end of the recording medium until the reversing means reverses the running direction of the recording medium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
An information reproducing and recording apparatus comprising: a disc reproducing apparatus for reproducing information recorded on a disc, a recording apparatus for recording the information reproduced from said disc on a recording medium having at least two running directions, recording start control means for controlling the start of said disc reproducing apparatus a predetermined time after the start of the recording apparatus, end detection means for detecting the end of said recording medium, reversing means for reversing the running direction of the recording medium in the recording apparatus, pause control means for pausing said reproducing information from said disc reproducing apparatus when the end detection means detects the end of the recording medium until the reversing means reverses the running direction of the recording medium.
