          Application No. 08/319,658                                                  


                    As a result, the ROM 46 inputs the signals D1                     
               and D  and outputs the appropriate motor control                       
                    2                                                                 
               signal D , comparison signal D , and particular mode23                                                                
                                           4                                          
               signal D . . . .  Consequently, the motor control                      
                       5                                                              
               circuit 47 inputs the signal D  . . . and rotates the                  
                                             3                                        
               motor M  in a forward direction (Fig. 4).                              
                      1                                                               
                    The instant before the motor M  begins rotating,                  
                                                  1                                   
               the position detection signal D  output from the                       
                                              s                                       
               switches 49a and 49b . . . indicates that the mode                     
               changing mechanisms are located in a position                          
               corresponding to the STOP mode.  As a result, the                      
               comparator 48 compares the signal D  . . . with the                    
                                                  4                                   
               signal D  . . . and outputs a match signal which                       
                       s                                                              
               equals 0.  However, when the motor M  moves the first                  
                                                   1                                  
               mode changing mechanism to the position                                
               corresponding to the PB mode, the value of the                         
               position detection signal D  output by the switches                    
                                          s                                           
               49a and 49b equals 8 (1000).  Therefore, the                           
               comparator determines that the signal D  equals the                    
                                                      s                               
               comparison signal D  and outputs a match signal which                  
                                  4                                                   
               equals 1.                                                              
                    As a result, the latch 50 inputs the match                        
               signal . . . .  As a result, the motor control                         
               circuit 47 instructs the motor M  to stop rotating,                    
                                               1                                      
               and the mode changing mechanisms remain in a                           
               position which corresponds to the PB mode.                             
               Based upon the foregoing, we see that Teranishi is                     
          concerned with discriminating the operating mode of a                       
          mechanism having a forwardly and reversely rotatable motor M1               
          for generating power to switch operating modes.  The mode                   
          signal D , and the control signal D  are detected according to1                       3                                          
          a switched mode of the mode setting mechanism 41.  The signal
