Abstract: A reading unit reads sound signals recorded in a recording medium. A buffer unit temporarily stores the sound signals which is read by the reading unit. A recording unit records the sound signal which is temporarily stored in the buffer unit. A reproducing unit reproduces the sound signals which is recorded in the recording unit. A controller controls reading speed of the reading unit. The sound signals include a first set of signals and a second set of signals. The reading unit reads the first set of signals at a first reading speed and reads the second set of signals at a second reading speed which is faster than the first reading speed after reading the first set of signals.

Abstract: A main unit includes a slider and a guide groove. A display panel includes a slider engaging portion coupled to the slider being guided by the slider and a guide-groove engaging portion slidably engaged with the guide groove being guided by the guide-groove so that the display panel can be inclined. A pressing lever presses the guide-groove engaging portion with resilient force of a resilient member. The guide-groove includes a parallel groove formed in parallel with a direction of movement of the slider; and a curved groove having a width narrower than that of the parallel groove and being connected to the parallel groove. The guide-groove engaging portion moves in the parallel groove by the movement of the slider and a pressing force of the pressing lever.

Abstract: There is provided a panel structure for an electronic apparatus that is capable of exhibiting two types of design images. During daytime hours for example, a design-applied portion of a panel main body can be visually recognized through a panel made of a light transmitting material. During nighttime hours for example, when light is conducted from one X direction-wise end to the other x direction-wise end in the panel, as well as from the other x direction-wise end to one X direction-wise end in the panel 1, the design-applied portion is shielded with the light illuminating the panel. In this way, by making a difference between the daytime visual impression and the nighttime visual impression of the panel, it is possible to impart two types of design images to the panel structure.
