          Appeal No. 1999-2379                                                        
          Application 08/716,061                                                      

               The Examiner finds that Takeuchi does not disclose the                 
          claimed record list displaying means, but finds that it was                 
          well known to connect a display to the output of a                          
          recorder/reproducer to display what is recorded/reproduced                  
          (FR8), and concludes that it would have been obvious "to                    
          modify the recording/reproducing system of Takeuchi by                      
          connecting a display means to the output of the                             
          recording/reproducing means in order to display what is                     
          recorded/reproduced by the recording/displaying [sic] means"                
          (FR8).                                                                      
               Appellant does not respond to this reasoning and, thus,                
          has not shown error in the Examiner's position.  See 37 CFR                 
          § 1.192(c)(8)(iv).  Accordingly, the rejection of claims 14                 
          and 21 is sustained.                                                        

               Claims 3, 9, 15, and 22                                                
               Appellant argues that the Examiner "ignored Appellant's                
          feature of displaying a send list (that is a list of                        
          commercial materials to be broadcast by the station)"                       
          (Br14).                                                                     
               This argument is without merit.  The Examiner found in                 
          the final rejection that the claimed "send list displaying                  
                                       - 14 -
