Abstract: A micro-controller integrated on a single substrate and which includes a read-only information memory for storing firmware, an address controller for performing address control, and an input port for inputting information supplied thereto from a source external to the substrate further incorporates a correcting information storage memory for receiving correcting information input thereto from the source external to the substrate through the input port and storing the correcting information upon an initialization of the micro-controller, wherein the correcting information is indicative of a modification for a defective information part stored in the read-only information storage memory, and a switching circuit for selectively switching the access by the address controller from the defective information part in the read-only information storage memory to the correcting information in the correcting information storage memory.

Abstract: A zoom lens apparatus which is superior in sound insulating and dust-proof properties and is easy to handle in transportation, storage and so forth. A lens system including a zoom lens set, a focusing lens set and an iris disposed on a single optic axis, a zoom lens driving section composed of a motor, a ball screw, a lens holding member, a nut member and so forth for driving the zoom lens, a focusing lens driving section composed of a guide rod, a lens holding member, a movable coil, an outer yoke, magnets and so forth for driving the focusing lens, and an iris motor for opening and closing the iris are accommodated in the housing having a substantially rectangular outer profile.

Abstract: A unitary electronic device includes a CPU, a RAM, a ROM for storing a processing program for the CPU which program includes a command to execute, at each processing cycle of the CPU, the processing located at a predetermined address in the RAM, and an input means or the like, for entering in the RAM at the predetermined address, information for correcting a defect in the processing program stored in the ROM.

Abstract: A remote-controlling commander includes a rotary dial rotatably mounted on a commander housing for manual operation of the user. The commander also includes a position detector for monitoring angular position of the rotary dial, in which the angular position and/or angular displacement of the rotary dial represents which operation of the apparatus is to be controlled and an encoder for producing an encoded signal variable depending upon the angular position and/or angular displacement of the rotary dial. The encoded signal is transmitted through a transmitter to a receiver provided in the apparatus to be controlled. The received signal is decoded in the apparatus to trigger the function represented by the received signal. The received signal from the remote-controlling commander may be used to perform functions associated with a VTR, such as timing of video recording, picture searching, channel timing, and the like.

Abstract: A communication system for video information apparatus for carrying out a communication between a video information apparatus and a peripheral apparatus arranged so that a communication is repeatedly carried out at a period synchronized with a signal of a vertical period having a constant phase relation relative to a vertical synchronizing signal.

Abstract: A mode processing circuit for a multi-operation mode electronic apparatus including a mode stack having a plurality of stages in which an input command signal is stored as an operation mode of the multi-operation mode electronic apparatus, wherein the operation mode inputted to the mode stack is sequentially stored and optimized and the optimized operation mode is read out from the mode stack in the sequential order and then executed after the transition of the operation mode is ended.

Abstract: A system for use in recording/reproducing video and audio signals, where the audio signals to be recorded can consist of various kinds of signals such as stereo signals, bilingual signals, or monaural signals, in which the kind of audio signal that is present in the signal to be recorded is detected and a corresponding code is added to the audio signal prior to being encoded and recorded. During playback, the particular code is detected and used to control switches to select the corresponding proper audio reconverting system based on the detected code.

Abstract: A video signal recording apparatus of the type that records a coded audio signal through time division relative to a video signal at one extended end of each of oblique tracks formed on a magnetic tape by helical scanning. The apparatus comprises a circuit for recording a coded video signal in the track region where a coded audio signal is recorded, and a circuit for recording identification data to discriminate between the coded audio signal and the coded video signal on the magnetic tape or recording control data thereon to control playback modes of the recorded signals.

Abstract: In a magnetic recording and/or reproducing apparatus of the kind in which the azimuth angles of recorded signals in adjacent tracks on a magnetic recording medium are made different with each other so as not to require a guard band and having a rotary head assembly including at least a pair of magnetic transducing heads, each having the head width larger than the track width, when a portion of an audio signal on the magnetic medium is re-recording, an identification information signal is recorded on a predetermined track in connection with the first or last track for which the re-recording is required so that signal deterioration and noise caused by track width fluctuation or variation is compensated for.
