DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial applications]

According to the present invention, information on a plurality of magazines containing a plurality of information discs represented by compact discs is input in advance, and the magazine exchange is performed by using information input in advance when the magazines are exchanged. The present invention relates to a disc reproducing apparatus that eliminates inconvenience in operation accompanying the above.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been known a disk reproducing apparatus for storing a plurality of information disks in a magazine, loading the magazine, and selectively reproducing the information disks. FIG. 4 shows the appearance of the magazine. Show. In FIG. 4, reference numeral 1 denotes a magazine, on which a plurality of trays 2 for accommodating information disks 3 are stacked so as to be able to be pulled out, so that the information disks 3 can be selectively taken out. By loading the magazine 1 into a disk reproducing apparatus and designating a desired information disk number and track number, normal reproduction and various program reproduction can be performed. As described above, the magazine type disk reproducing apparatus has an advantage that it is not necessary to change the information disk 3 and a large number of programs can be selectively reproduced.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

The above-described disc reproducing apparatus has an advantage that it is not necessary to change the information disc, but when there are a plurality of magazines storing a plurality of information discs,
Each time a magazine is exchanged, there is the inconvenience of having to re-enter the disk number of the information disk stored in the magazine and the program, and there has been a problem that the exchange of the magazine is troublesome.

[Means for solving the problems]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a disc reproducing apparatus capable of loading a plurality of magazines accommodating a plurality of information discs and selectively reproducing an information disc from one of the magazines. A magazine number input unit for inputting a magazine number of a magazine containing the plurality of information disks; a reproduction information input unit for inputting information relating to reproduction of the plurality of information disks; and a magazine number input unit. Information registering means for performing a registration operation to store the magazine number and the information related to the reproduction input by the reproduction information inputting means, a display section for displaying the registered magazine number, and a display section for displaying the registered magazine number. Magazine number designating means for designating the magazine number. Wherein by specifying the magazine number, characterized in that it is possible to use information relating to the reproduction of the plurality of information discs inputted by the reproduction information input means Te.

【Example】

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a front view of a disk reproducing apparatus showing an embodiment of the present invention. Reference numeral 4 denotes a disk reproducing apparatus. The front panel of the disk reproducing apparatus 4 has a reproduction panel for designating numbers 0-9. Numeric keys 5 serving as information input means, magazine number input means and magazine number designating means, a disc number key 6 serving also as a reproduction information input means for inputting a disc number of the information disc 3, and a magazine registration key 7 serving as information registering means And a display section 8 for displaying a magazine number, a disk number, and a track number. The ten keys 5 are operation keys for inputting a track number and a magazine number. Further, the display section 8 is provided with a magazine number display section for displaying a magazine number. Next, the operation of the disk reproducing device 4 configured as described above will be described. First, when loading the magazine 1 into the disc reproducing apparatus 4, the ten key 5 and the magazine registration key 7 are used.
By specifying a magazine number such as "M1", the magazine number "M1" is displayed on the magazine number display section 9 of the display section 8. Next, a program related to the information disk 3 stored in the magazine 1 in which the magazine number is registered is set, and is input and stored by the magazine registration key 7. Such an operation is performed for a plurality of magazines 1
For each magazine 1 and the stored information disc. FIG. 2 shows a flowchart based on the above operation. When the magazine 1 is loaded in the disc reproducing apparatus 4 in which the information on the magazine 1 is stored, the display 9 of the stored magazine number blinks, and the magazine number stored in the disc reproducing apparatus 4 is displayed. Appeal to the sight. If the loaded magazine 1 is in the blinking magazine number, the program number related to the stored magazine number can be used by designating the magazine number with the ten keys 5. Here, when the loaded magazine 1 is not stored in the disk reproducing device 4, it can be stored on the display unit 9 using the magazine number which does not blink.
FIG. 3 shows a flowchart based on the above operation. In the above-described embodiment, the information disk 3 is most suitable for an optical disk represented by a compact disk, but also includes a magnetic recording disk (floppy disk), a capacitance recording disk, and the like.

【The invention's effect】

As is apparent from the above description, according to the disc reproducing apparatus of the present invention, information on a plurality of magazines containing a plurality of information discs is input in advance, and is input in advance when a magazine is exchanged. By using the information, it is not necessary to input information on the magazine, which is required every time the magazine is exchanged, so that the inconvenience in operation associated with the magazine exchange can be eliminated.
