Abstract: A terminal apparatus comprising an insertion hole into which to insert a copyright-compliant first memory card and a copyright-noncompliant second memory card. The first and the second memory cards are substantially the same in shape. If the copyright-noncompliant second memory card is inserted preparatory to recording copyright-protected contents, the copyright-protected contents are recorded temporarily to the second memory card. When the copyright-compliant first memory card is later inserted, the recorded copyright-protected contents are transferred from the second memory card to the inserted first memory card. If the copyright-compliant first memory card is inserted preparatory to recording copyright-unprotected contents, the copyright-unprotected contents are recorded temporarily to the first memory card so that when the copyright-noncompliant second memory card is later inserted, the recorded copyright-unprotected contents are transferred from the first memory card to the inserted second memory card. Thus the desired contents are recorded unfailingly regardless of an inadvertent insertion by users of a memory card which is apparently the same in shape but different in type of copyright compliance.

Abstract: A TERMINAL APPARATUS (1) COMPRISING AN INSERTION HOLE INTO WHICH TO INSERT A COPYRIGHT-COMPLIANT FIRST MEMORY CARD (2A) AND A COPYRIGHT-NONCOMPLIANT SECOND MEMORY CARD (2B). THE FIRST AND THE SECOND MEMORY CARDS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY THE SAME IN SHAPE. IF THE COPYRIGHT-NONCOMPLIANT SECOND MEMORY CARD (2B) IS INSERTED -PREPARATORY TO RECORDING COPYRIGHT-PROTECTED CONTENTS, THE COPYRIGHT-PROTECTED CONTENTS ARE RECORDED TEMPORARILY TO THE SECOND MEMORY CARD (2B). WHEN THE COPYRIGHT-COMPLIANT FIRST MEMORY CARD IS LATER INSERTED, THE RECORDED COPYRIGHT- PROTECTED CONTENTS ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE SECOND MEMORY CARD (2B) TO THE INSERTED FIRST MEMORY CARD. IF THE COPYRIGHT-COMPLIANT FIRST MEMORY CARD IS INSERTED PREPARATORY TO RECORDING COPYRIGHT-UNPROTECTED CONTENTS, THE COPYRIGHT-UNPROTECTED CONTENTS ARE RECORDED TEMPORARILY TO THE FIRST MEMORY CARD SO THAT WHEN THE COPYRIGHT-NONCOMPLIANT SECOND MEMORY CARD (2B) IS LATER INSERTED, THE RECORDED COPYRIGHT-UNPROTECTED CONTENTS ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE FIRST MEMORY CARD TO THE INSERTED SECOND MEMORY CARD (2B). THUS THE DESIRED CONTENTS ARE RECORDED UNFAILINGLY REGARDLESS OF AN INADVERTENT INSERTION BY USERS OF A MEMORY CARD WHICH IS APPARENTLY THE SAME IN SHAPE BUT DIFFERENT IN TYPE OF COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE.(FIG 1)

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing a multi-layer disc which has a first layer (101) containing a recorded multi-bit digital signal quantized at a first sampling frequency and a second layer (102) containing a recorded 1-bit digital signal quantized at a second higher sampling frequency. The apparatus comprises a layer switching means (23) capable of executing an instruction to selectively switch the signal reproduction of the first layer (101) and that of the second layer (102); and a reproduction control means for preferentially setting the signal reproduction from either the first or second layer when the multi-layer disc is loaded in the apparatus, and in response to a manipulation of the layer switching means (23), selectively switching the setting of the signal reproduction relative to the first and second layers. A display means (13) is also incorporated to discriminably indicate thereon the layer selected by a manipulation of the layer switching means (23), hence enabling the user to recognize the layer being currently reproduced.

Abstract: An apparatus for reproducing signals from a multi-layer disc (1) provided with a first layer (105) containing recorded high-quality digital audio data and a second layer (102) containing recorded low-quality digital audio data. In this apparatus, the high-quality digital audio data and the low-quality digital audio data reproduced from the first and second layers respectively are once stored in a memory (9), and then the high-quality digital audio data and the low-quality digital audio data of the same content stored in the memory (9) are reproduced therefrom alternately, so that the tone qualities of such reproduced data can be compared and evaluated distinctly.

Abstract: A RECORDING APPARATUS (1) COMPRISING A MEANS FOR READING AND REPRODUCING A PROGRAM RECORDED ON A FIRST RECORDING MEDIUM (90) SUCH AS A CD; A MEANS FOR RECORDING THE REPRODUCED PROGRAM ON A SECOND RECORDING MEDIUM (30)SUCH AS AN MD HAVING AT LEAST A PROGRAM AREA RECORD PROGRAMS AND A MANAGEMENT AREA TO MANAGE THE POSITIONS OF THE RECORDED PROGRAMS AND THE PROGRAM NAMES; A MEANS FOR INPUTTING CHARACTER DATA REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PROGRAM NAME; A MEANS FOR SETTLING THE PROGRAM OF ONE UNIT INPUTTED BY THE CHARACTER INPUT MEANS (19) ; A MEANS FOR GENERATING A PARTITION CODE; A MEANS FOR STORING THE PROGRAM NAME AS A CHARACTER STRING AFTER ATTACHING A PARTITION CODE TO THE PROGRAM NAME INPUTTED BY THE CHARACTER INPUT MEANS (19); AND A CONTROL MEANS FOR EXTRACTING, FROM THE CHARACTER STRINGS STORED IN THE STORAGE MEANS(11A), THE PROGRAM NAME OF THE RELEVANT PROGRAM WITH REFERENCE TO THE PARTITION CODE, AND UPDATING THE DATA IN THE MANAGEMENT AREA OF THE SECOND RECORDING MEDIUM (30). IN THIS APPARATUS (1), SUCCESSIVE INPUT OF CHARACTER DATA AS PROGRAM NAMES IS ACHIEVABLE DESPITE CHANGE OF PROGRAMS, AND THE RECORDED MANAGEMENT DATA CAN BE UPDATED INDEPENTLY OF SUCH CHANGE AFTER COMPLETION OF DUBBING THE ENTIRE PROGRAMS.THE MOST ILLUSTRATIVE DRAWING IS (FIGURE NO. 1).

Abstract: A terminal apparatus having first and second inputs respectively associated with copyright and non-copyright contents is associated with corresponding first and second selectively insertable memory cards, which card have the same shape. A judging means determine the nature of the memory card and if a non-copywriter memory card is inserted into the terminal apparatus, recording and reproduction of contents to and from the inserted card is inhibited from the input receiving contents subject to copyright permitting only non-copywriter data to be processed. Similarly, a copywriter memory card may be inhibited from the input receiving non-copyright data.

Abstract: An end device such as a portable music player has a memory card (40A) that can be inserted. A first memory card has copyright protected contents, while a second card takes contents that are not copyright protected. If an incompatible card is inserted in the player, display or replay of the contents is prevented and or the card is ejected from the player.

Abstract: A reproduction apparatus (1) and method and a recording apparatus and method by which two different kinds of data can be reproduced and recorded efficiently are disclosed. When main data are intermittently read in from a recording medium (90), periods within which reading in of the main data is not performed appear inevitably, and the periods are made use of to read in sub data from the recording medium (90), thereby allowing synchronized reproduction of the main data and the sub data which relate to the main data. On the other hand, when main data are intermittently written onto a recording medium (90), periods within which writing of the main data is not performed appear inevitably, and the periods are made use of to write sub data onto the recording medium (90), thereby allowing parallel recording of the main data and the sub data.
