  • Recording/reproducing apparatus for recording starting identification information prior to a recording start position
    Patent number: 5311492
    Abstract: When dubbing information from a first recording medium to a second recording medium, control information including a start ID is recorded at appropriate timing. For example, when the fourth music selection recorded on a CD is reproduced for recording on a magnetic tape, the reproducing operation is started at a position (4, 00, 36) (represented by data TNC, INDEX, and FRAME) preceding the start position (4, 01, 46) of the fourth music. When a position (4, 00, 40) is detected, a record directing signal for directing the recording of the start ID is output to a digital magnetic tape recorder selection. This ensures the recording of the start ID prior to the recording on the magnetic tape of the start position of the fourth music selection.
