Appeal No. 1997-3964 Application No. 08/319,658 control circuit 47 respectively rotates the motor M1 in a reverse direction . . . . The motors M and M respectively move the first1 2 mode changing mechanism (Fig. 1A) and the second mode changing mechanism (Fig. 1B) to predetermined positions so that the VTR is capable of operating in the selected mode. Furthermore, the position detecting switches 49a and 49b are also connected to the motors M and M and output a position detection1 2 signal D which corresponds to the positions of the s mode changing mechanisms. As illustrated in Fig. 6, when the first and second mode changing mechanisms are properly positioned for the PB [playback] mode, the position detection signal D equals 8 (1000) . . s . . The comparison signals D corresponds to the 4 position to which the motors M and M are instructed41 2 to move the first and second mode changing mechanisms. Furthermore, the signal D represents 4 such positions with values that are the same as the various values of the position detection signal D . s The comparator 48 inputs the position detection signal D and the comparison signal D and outputs as 4 match signal when the signals D and D are equal.s 4 In other words, the match signal is output when the motors M and M have moved the first and second1 2 mechanisms to their proper positions . . . . In order to more clearly understand the operation of the Teranishi device, an example of how the device changes from the STOP mode to the PB mode will be described below. First, the selection switch 41a is depressed, and the specified mode signal D [is] output by the mode selecting circuit 1 41 to 45 . . . . Furthermore, . . . the first and second mode changing mechanisms are currently positioned for the STOP mode, . . . 4Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
