The edited character program is recorded to the recording apparatus in such a manner that the edited character string corresponds to the program. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A digital signal recording apparatus, comprising: receiving means for receiving a program and a character string related to the program which are both reproduced from a first recording medium; editing means for editing the character string received by said receiving means; and recording means for recording the character string edited by said editing means and the program to a second recording medium. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein said editing means is converting means for automatically converting the character string received by said receiving means into another character string. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, further comprising: selecting means for selecting a desired character string from character strings received by said receiving means, wherein the character string selected by said selecting means is recorded to the record medium. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, further comprising: displaying means for displaying the character string received by said receiving means. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the character string corresponding to the program is the title of the record medium. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the character string corresponding to the program is the title of each program recorded on the record medium. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the character string corresponding to the program is the creator's name of the record medium. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the character string corresponding to the program is a character string transmitted from a broadcasting station. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the character string corresponding to the program is a character string reproduced from a second record medium. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The digital signal recording apparatus as set forth in claim 1, wherein the character string corresponding to the program is a character string that has been stored in a memory. ### Claim 11 A remote controlling apparatus, comprising: receiving means for receiving a character string which is reproduced from a first recording medium and related to a program which is also reproduced from the first recording medium; storing means for storing the character string received by said receiving means; displaying means for displaying the character string stored by said storing means; editing means for editing the character string displayed by said displaying means;

an operating apparatus having: receiving means for receiving the character string transmitted from the transmitting means of said reproducing apparatus, storing means for storing the character string received by the receiving means, displaying means for displaying the character string storing by the storing means; editing means for editing the character string displayed by the displaying means, and transmitting means for transmitting the character string edited by the editing means; and a recording apparatus having: receiving means for receiving the program transmitted from the transmitting means of said reproducing apparatus and the character string transmitted from the transmitting means of said operating apparatus, and recording means for recording the program and the character string received by the receiving means. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The dubbing system as set forth in claim 19, wherein the editing means is converting means for automatically converting the character string received by the receiving means of said operating apparatus into another character string. ### Claim 21 (depends on 19) The dubbing system as set forth in claim 19, further comprising: selecting means for selecting a desired character string from character strings received by the receiving means of said operating apparatus, wherein the character string selected by said selecting means is transmitted to said recording apparatus. ### Claim 22 A digital signal recording method, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a character string and a related program from a reproducing of a first recording medium containing the character string and related program; (b) displaying the character string received in step (a); (c) editing the character string displayed in step (b); (d) recording the character string edited in step (c) along with the related program on a second recording medium. ### Claim 23 A remote controlling method, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving a character string and a related program from a reproducing of a first recording medium containing the character string and related program; (b) storing the character string received in step (a); (c) displaying the character string stored in step (b); (d) editing the character string displayed in step (c); (e) transmitting the character string edited in step (d) to a recording apparatus; and (f) recording the character string transmitted in step (e) and the related program in a second recording medium.
