               The disclosed invention is directed to a video                         
          recording/reproducing (VRR) device, such as a consumer VCR,                 
          intended to operate with a video device, such as a television               
          receiver, for processing and displaying television-type                     
          information.  The VRR is arranged to have at least one of the               
          video feature functions it normally performs, such as freeze                
          frame, performed instead by the video device.  See
