Abstract: A VTR equipped with an LCD projector integral therewith, capable of eliminating the complexity of wirings and preventing degradation of video signals. The VTR includes a front screen, a rear screen disposed on a front panel of a VCR body and constructed to be openable and closable for the LCD projector projecting the image, a closing detecting unit for detecting an openable or closable state of the rear screen, an image inverting unit for laterally inverting a direction of the image to be projected onto the rear screen, the rear screen being opened when a viewer observes the image projected on the front screen, while being closed when the viewer observes the image projected on the rear screen, the detecting unit informing the image inverting means of the closed state of the rear screen, and the image inverting unit laterally inverting the image to be projected onto the rear screen upon receiving the information.

Abstract: An apparatus for controlling charging of a storage battery that initially charges the storage battery in a constant current charging mode and then in a constant voltage charging mode when the charging voltage across the storage battery reaches a desired value.
