Appeal No. 2000-2111 Application No. 08/860,537 Claims 3 through 6 have been objected to and claim 7 has been indicated as allowed. We affirm-in-part. BACKGROUND The invention relates to a video recording and reproducing system for recording and reproducing audio and video data in digital format. Such apparatus, as depicted in figures 2 and 7, includes an input/output controlling means for inputting audio/video data to be recorded from an external apparatus and outputting the data reproduced from a recording medium to the external apparatus (specification, pages 37-44 and 54-57). A controlling means controls the reproducing means so that data from the recording medium is reproduced based on a designated speed provided by the input/output controlling means. Independent claim 1 is reproduced as follows: 1. A video recording and reproducing system comprising a recording and reproducing apparatus having a recording and reproducing means for recording and reproducing video data and an input/output controlling means for supplying to the recording and reproducing means the video data supplied from the outside and a reproducing apparatus having a reproducing means for reproducing the video data from a recording medium and supplying it to the input/output controlling means and a controlling means for controlling the reproducing means so as to reproduce the video data from the recording medium at a designated reproduction speed, 2Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 NextLast modified: November 3, 2007
