          Appeal No. 1997-1240                                                        
          Application 07/881,753                                                      



          lants further disclose that the high definition processing                  
          circuit 300 produces a pseudo HD                                            
          signal having attributes as shown in the table disclosed on                 
          page 13 labelled column PSEUDO HD SIGNAL.  In particular, the               
          table discloses that the pseudo HD signal has 1125 lines                    
          versus                                                                      


          the ED signal having 525 lines.  Furthermore, the pseudo HD                 
          signal has an interlace ratio of 2:1 versus the ED signal of                
          1:1.      Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows:                     
                    1.  A video signal recording and/or reproducing                   
          apparatus for recording and/or reproducing a standard televi-               
          sion signal and a high definition television signal having a                
          broader band than that of the standard television signal,                   
          comprising:                                                                 
                    recording mode presetting means for presetting one                
          of  a first recording mode in which said high definition                    
          television signal is recorded and a second recording mode in                
          which said standard television signal is recorded;                          
                    interpolation and rate doubling processing means for              
          applying scanning line interpolation and rate doubling conver-              
          sion processing for the standard television signal to output a              
          double rate signal;                                                         
                    high definition processing means for applying to the              
          double rate signal outputted from said interpolation and rate               
          doubling processing means a scanning line conversion process-               
          ing to convert the double rate signal into a signal having a                
                                          3
