Abstract
A combo system and method having a play unit to play a signal recorded on a first recording medium and a recording unit to record the signal played by the play unit on a second recording medium. A detector detects whether a predetermined copy preventing signal exists within the signal played by the play unit. A controller controls the recording unit to stop a recording operation of the recording unit when the copy preventing signal is detected by the detector.
Claims36
A combo system provided having a play unit to play a signal recorded on a first recording medium and a recording unit to record the signal played by the play unit on a second recording medium, comprising:
- a detector to detect whether a predetermined copy preventing signal exists within the signal played by the play unit;
- and
- a controller to control the recording unit to stop a recording operation of the recording unit when the copy preventing signal is detected by the detector.
A copy error preventing method of a combo system provided with a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- playing a signal recorded on a first recording medium using the play unit;
- recording the signal onto a second recording medium using the recording unit;
- detecting whether a predetermined copy preventing signal exists within the signal played by the play unit;
- and
- stopping a recording operation of the recording unit when the copy preventing signal is detected within the played signal.
A copy error preventing method between a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- playing a signal recorded on a first recording medium using the play unit;
- recording the signal onto a second recording medium using the recording unit;
- detecting whether a predetermined copy preventing signal exists within the signal played by the play unit;
- and
- stopping a recording operation of the recording unit when the copy preventing signal is detected within the played signal.
A combo system, comprising:
- a play unit playing video and/or audio signals recorded on a first recording medium;
- a recording unit recording the video and/or audio signals on a second recording medium;
- a detector detecting a copy preventing signal from the video and/or audio signals played by the play unit, wherein the detector outputs the detected copy preventing signal to the recording unit to stop the recording unit from recording the video and/or audio signals on the second recording medium;
- and
- an OSD block adding an OSD function to the video signals of the recording unit and a detected copy preventing error message.
A copy error preventing method of a combo system having a play unit and a recording unit, comprising:
- detecting a copy command by the recording unit;
- outputting a copy mode setting signal from the recording unit to the play unit;
- playing data recorded on a first recording medium using the play unit in response to the copy mode setting signal;
- recording the data onto a second recording medium using the recording unit;
- determining whether a copy preventing signal exists in the data recorded on the first recording medium;
- outputting the copy preventing signal to the recording unit;
- and
- stopping the recording unit from recording in response to the copy preventing signal without discontinuing playing the data recorded on the first recording medium.
