  • Publication number: 20070122110
    Abstract: The present invention provides a receiver provided with an electronic program guide in a program configuration with other programs inserted in the middle thereof, which easily transmits a reservation excluding the programs inserted in the middle thereof. In step S180, programs closely related to a reserved program are extracted from the electronic program guide information stored in RAM 13, it is judged in next step S190 whether or not there are programs closely related to the reserved program before and after the reserved program, and if there are such programs, control moves to step S200 or moves to step S120 otherwise. In step S200, a screen is displayed which prompts a user to select whether or not to reserve the programs closely related to the reserved program.

  • Publication number: 20070091733
    Abstract: Disclosed are a reproducing device, and a repeating range resetting method and a repetitive reproduction function control program to be carried out by the device having a repetitive reproduction function of repetitively reproducing a repeating range and capable of carrying out a reproducing procedure for reproducing a single or plural sets of contents recorded on an information recording medium, wherein a repetition start point resetting request or a repetition end point resetting request requesting changing a repetition start point or a repetition end point of a repeating range is accepted during a repetitive reproduction procedure for repetitively reproducing a repeating range to set a new repeating range. The repetitive reproduction procedure is continued to reproduce contents in the new repeating range.

  • Publication number: 20070092201
    Abstract: A reproducing device for reproducing contents recorded on an information recording medium has a repetitive reproduction function to reproduce contents in a predetermined repeating range repeatedly in diverse reproduction modes. A special reproduction mode request requesting a special reproduction mode, such as a slow-motion reproduction mode, is accepted during a repetitive reproduction process for repetitively reproducing the repeating range. When the special reproduction mode request is made the repetitive reproduction process is continued in a reproduction mode specified by the special reproduction mode request.

  • Publication number: 20050186834
    Abstract: The invention provides an electric apparatus with an insulating barrier having simplified attaching structure that is inexpensive, has high general versatility, and enables the fabrication process to be shortened, in which the insulating barrier performs insulation between a power circuit provided within a cabinet of the electric apparatus and the cabinet. An insulating plate 11 of an insulating barrier 10 is formed in such a manner that a prescribed creepage distance is generated between a component part 51 of a primary circuit portion 22a and a cabinet 21, an attaching opening 12a for fitting to a cable fixing bush 23 is formed on a side portion 12, and the insulating barrier is attached to an electric apparatus 20 by fitting the attaching opening 12a to the cable fixing bush 23.
