Appeal No. 96-2547
Application 08/101,673
sound source and the selection of a sound output circuit
"individually, without mutual relationship" as indicated at
lines 18 through 22. This appears to have been a known
disadvantage of the prior art in addition to the subsequent
statement that the user must make two selections when a source
is changed.
The order in which selection of appellants' prior art
Figure 4 was to have been undertaken by the user is not
specified. Apparently, it would have obviously occurred such
that the user could have selected the sound source first and
then selected the sound output circuit or the user could
simply have selected manually the sound output circuit and
then the particular sound source desired. In any event,
still, two individual selections would have had to have been
made.
JVC obviates this double selection as expressed by the
examiner's rejection by the use of CSRP preset capability
which links in its overall teaching sound outputs circuits
first and then a particular source device. Claim 1 on appeal
relates only to reading operations and claim 4 relates to
