            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,                                                       

                                                   2
