            Appeal No. 2001-2119                                                      
            Application No. 08/826,744                                                
                 The claimed invention relates to an audio and/or video               
            data recording and reproducing apparatus which receives a                 
            multiplexed input data stream having plural channels of at                
            least one of audio and video data, the input data stream                  
            being subsequently demultiplexed and recorded.  In a                      
            reproducing mode, the recorded data is reproduced and                     
            multiplexed in a predetermined order to generate an output                
            data stream.  In a particular embodiment, the recording                   
            structure utilizes a mirror configuration in which plural                 
            recording devices record the same audio and/or video data.                
                 Representative claim 2 is reproduced as follows:                     
                      2.  An audio and/or video data recording and                    
                 reproducing apparatus comprising:                                    
                 a receiving means for receiving an input data                        
                 stream having a plurality of channels of at least one                
                 of audio data and video data being multiplexed in a                  
                 predetermined order;                                                 
                 a demultiplexing means for demultiplexing each one                   
                 of said plurality of channels from the received input                
                 data stream;                                                         
                 a plurality of recording means for recording the                     
                 demultiplexed each one so that random access is                      
                 possible, wherein one of said plurality of recording                 
                 means is configured to record exactly one of said                    
                 plurality of channels;                                               


                                          2
