Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
131 words
An apparatus for recording signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a medium comprising: (a) a recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said medium; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which it operates said controlling means and a second mode which changes a movement amount per unit time of the head by said controlling means, said medium having a plurality of tracks and said controlling means moving said head so as to control which track of said medium it accesses to, wherein said apparatus further comprises: a change-over operation member for changing over said first and second modes and means for changing over said first and second modes based on a condition of said change-over operation member.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
131 words
An apparatus for recording signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a medium comprising: (a) a recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said medium; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which it operates said controlling means and a second mode which changes a movement amount per unit time of the head by said controlling means, said medium having a plurality of tracks and said controlling means moving said head so as to control which track of said medium it accesses to, wherein said apparatus further comprises: a change-over operation member for changing over said first and second modes and means for changing over said first and second modes based on a condition of said change-over operation member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said head is a magnetic head.
Claim 4
Independent Claim
106 words
An apparatus for reproducing signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a recording disc, comprising: (a) a recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said recording disc; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which said member operates said control means to change the position of said head relative to said medium without changing a movement amount per unit time of the head by said control means, and a second mode in which said member changes the movement amount per unit time without changing the relative position, said recording disc being a magnetic disc.
Claim 5
Independent Claim
106 words
An apparatus for reproducing signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a recording disc, comprising: (a) a recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said recording disc; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which said member operates said control means to change the position of said head relative to said medium without changing a movement amount per unit time of the head by said control means, and a second mode in which said member changes the movement amount per unit time without changing the relative position, said recording disc being a magnetic disc.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
100 words
An apparatus for reproducing signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a recording disc, comprising: (a) a magnetic recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said recording disc; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which said member operates said control means to change the position of said head relative to said medium without changing a movement amount per unit time of the head by said control means, and a second mode in which said member changes the movement amount per unit time without changing the relative position.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
100 words
An apparatus for reproducing signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a recording disc, comprising: (a) a magnetic recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said recording disc; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which said member operates said control means to change the position of said head relative to said medium without changing a movement amount per unit time of the head by said control means, and a second mode in which said member changes the movement amount per unit time without changing the relative position.
Claim 8
Independent Claim
105 words
An apparatus for reproducing signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a recording disc, comprising: (a) a recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said recording disc; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which said member operates said control means to change the position of said head relative to said medium without changing a movement amount per unit time of the head by said control means, and a second mode in which said member changes the movement amount per unit time without changing the relative position, said signal being an image signal.
Claim 9
Independent Claim
105 words
An apparatus for reproducing signals on and/or reproducing recorded signals from a recording disc, comprising: (a) a recording and/or reproducing head; (b) means for controlling a position of said head relative to said recording disc; and (c) a manually operable member having a first mode in which said member operates said control means to change the position of said head relative to said medium without changing a movement amount per unit time of the head by said control means, and a second mode in which said member changes the movement amount per unit time without changing the relative position, said signal being an image signal.
