1. A video signal recording and reproducing system consisting of a plurality of components, comprising:
- (a) a recording and reproducing apparatus comprising recording means for recording input video signals on a recording medium, reproducing means for reproducing the recorded video signals on said recording medium, and a first housing means containing said recording means and reproducing means;
(b) office selecting means for office selecting one of a plurality of transmitted video signals entering from the outside of said system, supplying means for supplying electrical power to said recording and reproducing apparatus, and a second housing means containing said office selecting means and supplying means;
(c) mechanical coupling means for fixedly securing said first and second housings to each other;
(d) electrical coupling means through which are transferred video signals and electrical power, whereby when said mechanical coupling means are operated, an electrical connection is achieved through said electrical coupling means; and
(e) connecting means for closing a circuit for conducting the electrical power from said supplying means to said recording and reproducing apparatus when coupling is effected by said mechanical and electrical coupling means.
