Abstract
Abstract A dubbing system includes a dubbing apparatus in which a master apparatus reproduces a signal recorded on a recording medium capable of recording an image and audio thereon and a slave apparatus records on another recording medium. Each of the master apparatus and slave apparatus includes a communication circuit for mutual communication, and the communication circuit causes the master apparatus and slave apparatus to cooperatively operate, resulting in that a dubbing operation is almost automatically executed by an operator instructing only a start of a dubbing operation.
