Abstract

The present invention intends to record the information which was divisionally recorded on a disk onto a recording medium without a loss of information. The operation of a disk reproducing apparatus for reproducing the information recorded on the disk and the operation of a recording apparatus for recording the information reproduced by the disk reproducing apparatus are synchronously started. When the recording medium of the recording apparatus has reached an end, the reproducing operation of the disk reproducing apparatus is immediately stopped. The header signal of the music divisionally recorded on the disk is searched for by a searching means of the disk reproducing apparatus. The reproducing operation is temporarily stopped. After the recording medium is reversed, the reproduction of the disk reproducing apparatus is restarted from the searched for header signal.

Claims

1. An information reproducing and recording system comprising:

a disk reproducing apparatus for reproducing information from a plurality of information sections on a disk;

a recording apparatus for recording the information reproduced by the disk reproducing apparatus onto a recording medium, said recording medium having an end;

operation start command means for starting the operations of the disk reproducing apparatus and recording apparatus synchronously with each other;

detecting means for detecting that the recording medium of said recording apparatus has reached said end;

searching means, responsive to the detecting output of said detecting means, for interrupting the reproducing operation of said disk reproducing apparatus and searching for a header signal of an information section, the reproduction of which has been interrupted;

pause command means for temporarily stopping said disk reproducing apparatus in response to the completion of the header signal search of said searching means;

reversing means for receiving the output of said detecting means and reversing the driving direction of the recording medium; and

,

means for releasing the temporary stop state of said reproducing apparatus after the reversing means reverses the driving direction of the recording medium.

2. An information reproducing and recording system comprising:

a CD player for reproducing information of a plurality of information sections of an optical disk;

a tape recorder for recording by a magnetic head information reproduced by said CD player onto a magnetic tape having a longitudinal end;

operation start command means for starting the operations of said CD player and said tape recorder synchronously with each other;

detecting means for detecting that the magnetic tape of said tape recorder has reached said end;

searching means, responsive to the detecting output of said detecting means, for interrupting the reproducing operation of said CD player, detecting a header signal position of an information section, the reproduction of which has been interrupted, and moving an optical pickup of said CD player to the detected header signal position;

pause command means for temporarily stopping said CD player in response to completion of the header signal search of said searching means;

reversing means for receiving the output of said detecting means and reversing the driving direction of the magnetic tape; and

,

means for releasing the temporary stop state of said CD player after said reversing means reverses the driving direction of the magnetic tape.

3. A system according to claim 2, wherein said optical disk has a plurality of music segments divisionally recorded thereon.
