Abstract
Abstract A recording and/or reproducing apparatus includes among other functions a recording arrangement which has first and second recording modes, such as field-and frame-recording modes, and is capable of varying the number of picture planes to be recorded per unit time is arranged to control the recording speed setting range to be different between recording speeds for the first recording mode and recording speeds for the second recording modes; and, in the event of setting of a recording speed which can be set for the first recording mode but cannot be set for the second mode, the recording speed is automatically changed to a recording speed which can be set for the second recording mode.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
213 words
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing recorded information from memory means which said information recorded in a plurality of blocks thereon, comprising: a) reproducing means for reproducing said blocks of information; b) manually operating instruction means having a manually operated state and an inoperative state, in the manually operated state the instruction means continuously outputs an operating signal, and in the inoperative state the instruction means does not output the operating signal, wherein said instruction means includes a first switch which shifts the block of information reproduced by said reproducing means in an up direction and a second switch which shifts the block of information reproduced by said reproducing means in a down direction; c) control means arranged to detect the operating signal and to continuously renew for every predetermined period of time the block of information to be reproduced by said reproducing means, while said instruction means is in said manually operated state, wherein said information represents a still image, and said predetermined period is a time which enables recognition of said still image as a still image; and d) means for rendering said control means operative when said reproducing apparatus is in an initial setting state, wherein said initial setting state is a power-on state of electrical power of said reproducing apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
213 words
A reproducing apparatus for reproducing recorded information from memory means which said information recorded in a plurality of blocks thereon, comprising: a) reproducing means for reproducing said blocks of information; b) manually operating instruction means having a manually operated state and an inoperative state, in the manually operated state the instruction means continuously outputs an operating signal, and in the inoperative state the instruction means does not output the operating signal, wherein said instruction means includes a first switch which shifts the block of information reproduced by said reproducing means in an up direction and a second switch which shifts the block of information reproduced by said reproducing means in a down direction; c) control means arranged to detect the operating signal and to continuously renew for every predetermined period of time the block of information to be reproduced by said reproducing means, while said instruction means is in said manually operated state, wherein said information represents a still image, and said predetermined period is a time which enables recognition of said still image as a still image; and d) means for rendering said control means operative when said reproducing apparatus is in an initial setting state, wherein said initial setting state is a power-on state of electrical power of said reproducing apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
40 words
The reproducing apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising: e) supply means for supplying said reproducing apparatus with electric energy; and f) switching means for switching the supplying state of said supply means from one supply state over to another.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The reproducing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein said means for rendering said control means operative is arranged to cause said control means to operate according to the switching action of said switching means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
44 words
The reproducing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said reproducing means includes: a) pickup means arranged to have access to each of the blocks of information recorded on said memory means; and b) changing means for changing the access position of said pickup means.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
33 words
The reproducing apparatus of claim 4 , wherein said control means is arranged to change the block of information to be reproduced from one block over to another by driving said changing means.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
68 words
The reproducing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein said control means includes: a) detecting means for detecting the operating state of said instruction means; and b)renewing means for changing the block to be reproduced by said reproducing means from open block over to another for every predetermined period of time as long as said instruction means is detected to be in the operating state by said detecting means.
