According to the invention, in a VTR in which the recording of a predetermined program is reserved by setting a recording start time and a recording end time and setting an audio mode of a signal of a program whose recording is reserved, there is provided a VTR which can certainly record a whole program whose recording is reserved even in the case where a broadcasting time of the recording reservation program is deviated back because of an extension of a previous program or the like.
Claims24
A recording apparatus comprising:
- input setting means in which a recording start time and a recording end time are set and an audio mode of a signal of a program whose recording is reserved is set;
- recording means for recording an input signal which is received from a source side to a recording medium;
- audio mode detecting means for detecting an audio mode of said received input signal;
- counting means for counting a time while setting said recording start time to a reference;
- and
- recording time updating means for adding a predetermined value to said recording end time in accordance with the time counted by said counting means.
A recording system comprising:
- operating means for designating a recording start time and a recording end time and designating an audio signal mode of a signal of a program whose recording is reserved;
- recording means for recording an input signal which is received from a source side to a recording medium;

- counting means for counting a time while setting said recording start time to a reference;
- and
- recording time updating means for adding a predetermined value to said recording end time in accordance with the time counted by said counting means.
A recording method comprising:
- a recording reserving step of designating a recording start time and a recording end time and designating an audio mode of a signal of a program whose recording is reserved;
- a counting step of counting a time while setting said recording start time to a reference;
- an audio mode discriminating step of discriminating whether an audio mode of a signal of a program which is received is a first audio mode as an audio mode of said program whose recording is reserved or not;
- a recording starting step of starting a recording of the program which is received to a recording medium when it is determined in said audio mode discriminating step that the audio mode of said received program is the first audio mode;
- and
