Abstract
A recording and reproducing apparatus includes an access display unit of a hard disk and a failure diagnosis unit to carry out a failure diagnosis by using error information of data reproduced from the hard disk, in which either a video recorded in the hard disk is displayed on the access display unit or an access on the reproduction is displayed thereon, and a warning content obtained from a diagnostic result of the hard disk is displayed after the access is completed.
Claims8
A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a recording medium to record and reproduce data,
- an operating state display unit which displays an operating state of the recording medium,
- a failure diagnosis unit which carries out a failure diagnosis by using error information of the data reproduced from the recording medium,
- an output unit which outputs the data reproduced from the recording medium on a display unit, wherein the display unit is discrete from the operating state display unit, and
- at least one control unit to effect both of a function (a) and a function (b) wherein, after a predetermined operating mode of the apparatus is completed, one of the functions (a) and (b) selectively operates depending on a diagnostic result by the failure diagnosis unit, such that, in the function (a) the diagnostic result is displayed only on the operating state display unit amongst the operating state display unit and the display unit, and in the function (b), the diagnostic result is displayed on both of the operating state display unit and the display unit.

A recording and reproducing apparatus, comprising:
- a recording and reproducing unit that records or reproduces data on or from a recording medium;
- an access display unit that displays that the recording medium is in an access state;
- a failure diagnosis unit that carries out a failure diagnosis by using error information of the data reproduced from the recording medium while the recording and reproducing unit records or reproduces the data on or from the recording medium,
- an output unit which outputs the data reproduced from the recording medium in such a way in which the data is displayed on a display unit, wherein the display unit is discrete from the access display unit, and
- at least one control unit to effect both of a function (a) and a function (b) wherein, when the record or reproduction is completed, one of the functions (a) and (b) selectively operates depending on a diagnostic result obtained from the failure diagnosis unit, where in the function (a), the diagnostic result obtained from the failure diagnosis unit is displayed only by changing a turning-on and/or turning-off duration of the access display unit amongst the access display unit and the display unit, and in the function (b), the diagnostic result obtained from the failure diagnosis unit is displayed by changing a turning-on and/or turning-off duration of the access display unit and also displaying the diagnostic result on the display unit.
