1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to playback message recorders and, more particularly, to such playback message recorders built into the handset of a cellular telephone. 2. Description of the Related Art Today, cellular telephones enable individuals to make and receive telephone calls nearly anywhere in the United States. Often, cellular phone users make or receive telephone calls at locations which do not allow them to manually record the information conveyed during the conversation. For example, to manually record information during a cellular phone call while driving, the user must either stop the vehicle immediately and record the message or must call the caller back and record the information at a later time. In some instances, the driver may attempt to manually record the message while driving which, of course, may cause an accident. For a variety of reasons, the voice information conveyed in a cellular telephone call is often broken or incomplete. Due to their greater mobility, cellular telephones are often used in environments that have loud background noises which make the information inaudible. A device capable of overcoming these problems is a cellular telephone with a built-in message recorder which can be selectively operated using the hand which holds the handset and which allows the messages to be played back directly into the earphone on the handset.

It is an object of the invention to provide a message recorder capable of selectively recording portions of a telephone conversation on a cellular phone. It is another object of the invention to provide such a recorder which is built into the handset of the cellular phone. It is a further object of the invention to provide such a cellular phone in which the recorded messages are be played back through the earpiece on the handset. These and other objects are met by providing a cellular telephone with a message recorder built into the handset of the cellular telephone. When using the message recorder, the user is able to record a portion of the telephone conversation for playback at a later time. The controls for the message recorder are conveniently located on the handset so that the user may selectively operate the message recorder using the same hand holding the handset. The message recorder is electrically connected to the earpiece on the handset so that messages are heard through the earpiece, for greater privacy and reduce interference from the surrounding environment.

Shown in the accompanying FIGS. 1-3, there is shown a cellular telephone 10 with a digital message recorder 20 built into the handset 12. When using the message recorder 20, the user is able to record a portion of the telephone conversation for playback at a later time. The controls for the message recorder 20 are also conveniently located on the handset 12 so that the user may selectively operate the message recorder 20 using the same hand holding the handset 12. The message recorder 20 is electrically connected to the earpiece 16 on the handset 12 so that recorded messages may be heard through the earpiece 16, for greater privacy and reduced interference from the surrounding environment. The handset 12 includes a mouthpiece 14 and an earpiece 16 with the message recorder 20 located therebetween. In the preferred embodiment, the message recorder 20 is a digital type message recorder which is compact and capable of being housed inside the handset 12 of a typical cellular telephone 10. The digital message recorder 20 used is nearly identical to the digital recorder commonly used in personal note recorders. An example of such a message recorder is the personal note recorder distributed by Voice It Worldwide and sold under the trademark VOICE IT™. Such devices are able to record up to approximately ten messages for a total recording time of forty seconds. The messages can be erased selectively allowing the user to erase unneeded messages and record new messages. Such devices also include forward and rewind buttons which enable the user to find messages quickly. The electric circuit used in the personal note recorder distributed by Voice It Worldwide is incorporated herein. In other embodiments, the message recorder 20 can be an analog tape message recorder as formed with mini or micro tape recorders. Attached to the side surface 18 of the handset 12 are a plurality of control buttons 30-40 used to control the various functions on the message recorder 20.

Recording devices are used to capture various data including speech in analog or digital form. The market for voice recording and reproducing devices, often referred to as voice recorders, is growing rapidly. Recording and playback of voice messages is often useful in business applications such as in order entry systems, dictation for subsequent transcription, obtaining spoken output from a computer data base. Pocket-sized voice recorders are widely used as a convenient way to take notes, store information and create documents in audio form. For many years, very compact portable tape recorders have been available in a size which fits comfortably in the palm of the users hand. These portable recorders are used to record spoken words or other sounds in analog form on removable magnetic tape cassettes. In recent years, there is provided a recorder in which a voice signal obtained by a microphone is converted into a digital signal, the digital signal is stored in a semiconductor memory, the voice signal is read from the semiconductor memory to be converted into an analog signal in a reproducing operation, and the analog signal is outputted as voice by a loudspeaker. Digital audio recorders are used as voice memo recorders, and as voice message recorders in portable telephone sets. In particular, digital voice recorders employing integrated-circuit (IC) memory as storage media are now finding many applications. Some digital audio recorders employ nonvolatile semiconductor memory, such as flash memory, as a recording medium. Various types of digital voice recording and reproducing apparatuses have been developed and practically used. A digital voice recorder converts an analog signal representing a voice to a digital signal and records the digital signal in a recording medium when the voice is recorded, and converts the digital signal to an analog signal when the voice is reproduced. Digital compression / decompression circuits may be employed to increase storage capacity for a fixed memory size. These integrated circuit recorders may record analog values representing the instantaneous amplitude of the sound reaching the units microphone or the microphone output may be digitized and stored as binary values. The analog signal representing the collected voice is converted to a digital signal which is then stored in a storage medium of the digital recorder. When the recorded voice is reproduced, the stored digital voice is read out from the storage medium and converted to an analog signal. The analog signal is then reproduced by a speaker. In the recording mode, the digital voice system first produces a stream of digital data which represents the audio message signal. this stream of digital data is then recorded on a digital memory. In the playback mode, the memory card is accessed for a particular message, the message is converted into a stream of digital data which is, in turn, converted to an audio signal. Most voice recorders provide basic functions such as record, stop, play, rewind and fast forward. To permit a user to selectively actuate these functions, a number of manually operable switches are typically provided on the housing of the recorder. Often these recorders employ sound responsive switches to reduce the battery drain when there are no sounds to be recorded. The digital voice recording and reproducing apparatus has been practically used also in a dictation system in which the dictations recorded by a plurality of dictators are reproduced and typed by a typist, or in centralized type of dictation system in which a dictation is directly recorded by a dictator via a telephone network or the like to a reproducing apparatus located on the side of a typist. Generally, in the voice recording/reproducing apparatus, in order to save an amount of data recorded in the semiconductor memory, the amount of data to be generated is controlled to be as small as possible by efficiently coding the digitized voice signal. The primary benefit of high compression recording is that it maximizes the available capacity in the recording medium. For business applications, a long recording time and good sound quality are essential requirements. It is thus desirable to record audio information at the highest possible degree of compression consistent with adequate sound quality and reasonable processing overhead. The factor enabling these requirements to be met has been the recent rapid progress in high-efficiency compression technology. Compression is achieved through coding techniques that make intensive use of complex, sophisticated digital signal processing, which requires a fast, high-performance digital signal processor (DSP). When the digital signal is stored in the storage medium, the digital recorder generally applies a coding technique to compress the volume of data efficiently for saving the space of the storage medium. There has been widely used a code drive linear predictive coding system having an adaptive code book as a means for efficient coding. Voice recording and/or reproduction apparatus such as tape recorders had used a magnetic tape as a memory medium. However, the magnetic tape has major drawbacks. In recent years, compact audio recorders have been developed in which the audio information is stored as digital data in a solid state memory. The semiconductor memory is preferred as memory medium because no mechanical driving will be required. Nonvolatile semiconductor memory devices in general, and flash memory in particular, can tolerate only a limited number of erase-write cycles. A single memory device may store several recorded messages, so address information indicating where each message begins and ends is also stored. Solid state memories employing integrated circuits have supplanted tape recorders in many applications resulting in even smaller and lighter-weight units. In a flash memory device, the address information is stored in a single sector or page, which is erased and rewritten whenever a new message is recorded.

With many digital recorders out now, things should be much easier, then at the time, when tape was nearly the only medium, voice recorders worked with. One can jump from message to message quickly with a digital voice recorder and to record something, one doesn't have to do a lot of cuing to find the end of the last recording. However, this automatic searching of the end of message also causes some problems or at least requires the builders of such recorders to implement some additional function. Because, if one wants to overwrite, for instance to delete a made mistake, how can one do that? Also, if one wants to listen to the end of the last recording, the recorder may not allow this, since it always goes to the begining of the message, last recorded when this recording is stopped. Olympus builds some recorders, which function like a tape recorder. I call these machines overwrite recorders. If you're in the middle of a message and press record, the message will get overwritten, beginning at the position, where the playback was stopped. And if one wants to hear the last seconds of the recording, one just presses the rewind button, it will review the message, although, no reviewing noise can be heard. In other words, they tried to make this work exactly as a tape recorder. Examples of such machines are the Olympus D-1000 and the Olympus DS-150. But most digital voice recorders will just record a new message, when the record button is pressed, no matter, where you are in a message, that you've previously heard. I call these devices append recorders. These machines also are not at the very end of memory, when a recording is stopped. They're at the beginning of the message, last recorded. This makes it very easy, to hear the BEGINNING of the message. All of Sony's digital voice recorders work like this. Olympus's DS-2000 and VN-180 are two additional examples of append recorders. But how can one listen to the END of the message last recorded, and how can one overwrite something, to correct mistakes? With most append recorders, one can record another message, play it and then press and hold the review button. This will first scan back to the beginning of the new message and then go further backward, so that one gets deeper and deeper into the message, the end of which one wanted to hear. Sony offers an additional method. While recording a message, one can press and hold the review button. This will stop the recording and scan into the message beginning at the end of it. I find both methods a bit cumbersome and think, that voice recorder manufacturers should find better ways, to acomplish this task. Now to the overwrite question. With the Olympus DS-2000 and VN-180, one simply can't overwrite text in a message. With newer Sony models, one overwrites by pausing a message at the position, where one wants to overwrite and then presses the record button twice. I think, that this is a good solution. It's better, then simply letting a recorder operate like a tape, because it's too easy to press record and accidentally overwrite stuff, with such overwrite recorders. I think, that if I'd construct a voice recorder, I'd use the Sony style overwrite method, but I'd put an additional key onto the machine, which would play the last ten seconds of a recording when pressed, while playing it. What do you think? Michael Lang

This clever message box can be used in the home, the classroom or an office wherever six separate one minute messages need to be recorded. At home, parents can communicate what children need to do when they come home. At school, teachers can record assignments for 6 children, record quiz questions etc. In the office, the manager can record phone messages for each employee. There are multiple uses for a message box such as this one which has six separate buttons, each one recording a distinct message to be played back one at a time. The buttons are large. To record, you just hold the button down and speak into the box. The closer you speak to the large speaker, the louder the message is recorded. When a new message is recorded, a little light flashes to alert the user that a message is there to be heard. It can be wall mounted or stand on its retractable stand. Measures 4.75 x 3 x 1.25 and uses 3 AA batteries (NI).

The Recorder Instrument is a computer program written in TCL/TK. It is one of the Instruments available in the LWDAQ Software. The Recorder Instrument reads messages from LWDAQ (Long-Wire Data Acquisition) devices such as the Data Receiver (A3018) and Data Recorder (A3007). These devices are data recorders. They present the LWDAQ with a message buffer and a reset command. The message buffer is a byte-by-byte, first-in first-out buffer (FIFO). The messages it contains are four-byte records each containing a channel number, a data word, and a timestamp. The A3007 message buffer size is 512 KB. The buffer can hold up to 131,072 messages. The reset command clears the message buffer and sets the data recorder's clock to zero. When you open the Recorder Instrument in the LWDAQ Software, it looks like the figure below. We invite you to download the our software here, run the program, and select Recorder from the Instrument Menu. Press Read to read in some data from disk. Select one of the recorder files in LWDAQ's Image directory.

The Reset button resets the data recorder. The EMPTY indicator on your data recorder will illuminate briefly. The data recorder is always storing its own clock messages, so the EMPTY light won't stay lit for long. The Channels gives a list of all active message channels and the number of messages the Recorder received from each channel. Channel zero should always be present, with a number of messages equal to daq_num_clocks. Other channels will be listed so long as they contain more than active_threshold messages. To change the active_threshold parameter, press the Info button. Each time the Recorder Instrument acquires a new block of messages from the data recorder, it makes sure that there are daq_num_clocks clock messages in the block. The fixed number of clock messages implies a fixed length of time for each acquired block of data.

Example. The Data Recorder (A3018A) produces 128 clock messages per second, so when daq_num_clocks = 128, each block of messages acquired by the Recorder Instrument spans one second of data recording.

You can save the messages the Recorder Instrument acquires from the data recorder with the Write button, and read back saved data with the Read button. The LWDAQ software supports three formats for recording data to disk. GIF, DAQ, and NDF, as we discuss here. Each time you press the Write button, you create a new file on disk or replace an old one. If you want to append new data to an existing file, consider using the Neuroarchiver, which appends dadta to NDF files. With analysis_enable > 0, the Recorder Instrument analyses each block of messages it acquires. It plots the data and generates a result string. You can see an example of a result string in the screen shot above. To understand the meaning of numbers in theresult string, set verbose_result to 1, and acquire or read some data. You will get something like this.

The numbers provided for the clock messages are slightly different. Instead of the average and standard deviation, the Recorder Instrument provides the minimum and maximum data values.

The messages in the data recorder's message buffer are each four bytes long. The bytes of each message are listed in the table below. The Channel Number is used to identify the source of the message. Channel number zero is reserved for clock messages. In the case of Subcutaneous Transmitters, the channel number is the Transmitter Identification Number (TIN). Following the channel number, each message contains a sixteen-bit data word. In the case of SCTs, the sixteen-bit data word is a digitized voltage. The last byte of the message is a timestamp.

All data recorders have a clock. The clock is a twenty-four bit counter that counts clock ticks. In the Data Receiver (A3018), the frequency of the clock ticks is 32.768 kHz, provided by a precision clock oscillator. The bottom eight bits of the counter provide the data recorder with the timestamp value it places at the end of each message (with the exception of clock messages). Every time the timestamp wraps around to zero again, which is every 256 ticks of the clock, the data recorder stores a clock message in its message buffer. The clock message has channel number zero. Instead of a timestamp, the data recorder stores a version number for use by the Recorder Instrument to detect incompatibility between software and hardware. The data in the clock message is the upper sixteen bits of the clock counter. The upper sixteen bits increment every time the data recorder stores a clock message. In the case of the 32.768 kHz reference clock, we get a clock message 128 times a second, or every 7.8125 ms, and the sixteen-bit clock message value wraps around to zero again every 512 s. We call this 512-s wrap-around period the timing cycle. Meanwhile, clock ticks occur every 30.5 s. By looking at clock messages and message timestamps, the Recorder Instrument can figure out where in the timing cycle every message took place, and do so with 30-s precision.

Example. Our data recorder is a Data Receiver (A3018). Its reference clock is 32.768 kHz. It stores clock messages with channel number zero 128 times a second. Within our laboratory are ten animals with implanted Subcutaneous Transmitters (A3013). The transmitters transmit at various sample rates between 64 SPS and 2048 SPS. Each block of messages we read out contains dozens of messages from the various transmitters between each two clock messages. Each transmitter message has a timestamp between 0 and 255. This timestamp gives us the time at which the data recorder received the transmitter message, in reference clock ticks since the previous clock message.

When you press the Acquire button, the Recorder Instrument obtains a new block of messages from the data recorder. In LWDAQ terminology, the Recorder Instrument acquires an image. This image contains exactly the number of clock messages you specify in daq_num_clocks. If you specify n, the first message in the image is clock message 0 the last message is the one that preceeds the n+1'th clock message. The next image the Recorder Instrument acquires will begin with this same n+1'th clock message, but in the next image this clock message will be clock message 0. The time it takes the data recorder to generate daq_num_clocks clock messages is the image time. The image contains all messages stored by the data recorder during the image time. In order to assemble images with a specified number of clock messages, the Recorder Instrument reads blocks of messages out of the data recorder and adds them to its own message buffer. When the message buffer contains enough clock messages, the Recorder Instrument extracts the desired block of messages from the message buffer to make the new image. It leaves unused messages in the message buffer for inclusion in the next image. No messages are lost unless you leave the data recorder too long and it's message buffer overflows, in which case the oldest messages are lost because they are over-written by new messages. But the Recorder Instrument does not throw any data away unless you press the Reset button. When you press the Reset button, the Recorder Instrument clears its message buffer and clears the data recorder message buffer as well.

Suppose your data recorder is recording messages faster than the Recorder Instrument can read them out. Eventually, you will start to lose messages. The data recorder's message buffer will overflow. When the buffer overflows, the data recorder will over-write the oldest messages with the newest messages. The Recorder Instrument will recognise that the latest block of messages it downloads from the data recorder does not match up with its message buffer. The Recorder Instrument will add the new messages to its message buffer and plot the entire block of messages to the screen. It will not discard any messages. But it will issue a warning, saying that it found one or more errors in the message block.

Example. We turn on our four transmitters again. Our Data Receiver (A3018) stores 8704 bytes per second. But our download speed from the data recorder to the Recorder Instrument over our local network is 4000 bytes per second. After a hundred seconds, the Data Receiver's 512 KB buffer is full of messages waiting to be downloaded. The buffer overflows. The Data Receiver keeps storing new data on top of the old data. Our Recorder Instrument detects the sudden jump in the clock message timestamps and prints a warning to the Recorder Panel. In the message plots, we see the red timestamp trace jump in the middle of the screen. The message to the left of the jump are those from 512 seconds ago. Those to the right are new ones that over-wrote the oldest messages.

When you read Recorder Instrument images from disk, the Recorder Instrument displays them as if they were freshly-acquired. But it changes the image_source parameter to "file". You will find the meaning of the image_source parameter and its values described here. Change image_source back to "daq" to acquire fresh data from the data recorder. For diagnostic and error-handling purposes, the Recorder Instrument allows you to scramble the incoming message stream. In the Info window, you will see the daq_scramble parameter. It consists of three numbers separated by spaces. The first number is 0 to disable scrambling, and 1 to enable scrambling. The second number is the number of non-clock messages you wish the Recorder Instrument to remove, at random, from the newly-acquired image. The third number is the number of non-clock messages you wish the Recorder Instrument to add to the newly-acquired image at random times, with random channel numbers, and with random values. We use the scramble option to simulate problems like bad messages and bad messages. Try turning the scramble on, and you will see spikes on the traces, and maybe even some gaps.

Nowhere in the Recorder Instruments parameters will you see any mention of the data recorder clock speed. Nor will you see any mention of the relationship between the sixteen-bit message words and any real physical quantities. The Recorder Instrument is a generic uploader and sorter of data stored in a generic data recorder. The message display uses a different color to display each channel. With analysis_channels set to its default value of * (which means "all messages"), the Recorder Instrument displays all messages in the current image (as we say in the previous section. in LWDAQ terminology, a block of messages assembled and returned by the Recoder Instrument is an image). The message display is the product of analysis of the image. Whether you display all the channels or not, they remain in the image. The Recorder Instrument will not delete them from the image. Each channel number has its own color. The colors are unique, but it's unlikely that you could tell them all apart if you had messages from all 255 possible channels displayed at the same time. The table below gives the colors for the first sixteen channels.

The horizontal axis of the display covers the image time. The Recorder Instrument does not know how to translate daq_num_clocks into image seconds, but it does know how to translate the clock messages and message time stamps into time in units of data recorder clock ticks. So it plots the message values against the time, in clock ticks, at which the data recorder stored the message. If there are missing messages, you will see a straight line joining the messages on either side of the missing messages. The vertical axis of the display shows the sixteen-bit message values. The Recorder Instrument treats the sixteen-bit values as if they were unsigned sixteen-bit integers. The Range entry box allows you to set the span of the display in units of counts, where a count is a change of 1 in the sixteen-bit number. By default, we have the range set to 65536, so it will include the entire range of sixteen-bit unsigned integers. But it may be that you want to zoom in on a message trace. In that case, you can decrease the range and change the Offset also. The display shows message values between offset and offset + range. If you don't want to figure out what offset you need to look at your waveform, try changing the Coupling. The coupling mimic's an oscilloscope's AC/DC coupling. With DC coupling, the display is as we have described so far. But with AC coupling (enter AC or ac in the coupling entry box), the Recorder Instrument places the average value of a message trace at the center of the display. No matter what you do with the display, the data in the image is unaffected.

By default, the Recorder Instrument analyzes every new data image it acquires. The analysis consists of plotting, listing, and summarizing the acquired data. You can turn off analysis of the image by setting analysis_enable to zero. With the analysis turned off, you will see the bytes of the messages drawn as individual pixels in the top part of the image. When you enable the analysis, you get the message value plots. The analysis does not change the image data. The Recorder Instrument's image analysis routine is called LWDAQ_analysis_Recorder. This routine calls lwdaq_recorder, which in turn calls lwdaq_A3007_recorder. This lwdaq_A3007_recorder routine is defined in a filed called electronics. pas. The lwdaq_recorder command is available at the LWDAQ console. Its arguments are an image name and a command string. The command string begins with an instruction. The following table lists the lwdaq_recorder instructions.

The Recorder uses the plot instruction to plot the channels in the image overlay and to generate the summary string. It uses the list instruction to obtain a list of active channels. Internally, as it is accumulating an image with the correct number of clock messages, the Recorder uses the clocks instruction to determine how many clock messages are in a new packet of data, and where the first and last clock messages are in the data. You can apply the lwdaq_recorder instructions yourself, using the console and the name of the current Recorder image. After you acquire a Recorder image, look at the value of memory_name. Suppose it's Recorder_1. Go to the File Menu and open the console. Enter the following at the console prompt.

Here we tell lwdaq_recorder to return the address of clock messages 0, 64, and 128. We refer to the clock messages by their order in the sequence of clock messages in the image. Their address is the location of the first byte of the message with respect to the first byte of the image data. The first clock message is number zero (0). In this case, the address of the first clock message is zero (0), meanint the first message in the image is a clock message. The address of the 64'th clock message is 6332. There is no clock message 128, so index of the 128'th clock message is -1 to indicate its absence. The print instruction instructs lwdaq_recorder to print out the messages for us, as shown below. Each message gets a separate line. On each line is the message index (the 0'th message is the first one in the image), the channel number, the data value, and the timestamp.

Here we see print used to print out the first eleven messages. If we don't specify the message range, print will print the contents of all the messages. The first message is a clock message. It's channel number is zero and its timestamp is 4. The timestamp of a clock message gives us the data recorder firmward version, which is in this case 4. If you want to extract messages from a single channel, and get them in a format that's easy for plotting on the screen, or pasting into a spreadsheet, use the extract instruction. Here is an example, obtained from our Recorder_hum. daq data in image Recorder_1. We use the ellipsis (".") to indicate lines we have cut from the console output.

The plot instruction plots messages in an image's overlay in the same as lwdaq_graph. Here we tell lwdaq_recorder to plot messages from channel three (3) and five (5) in the overlay.

With transmission scatter, each message transmission occurs at some random time within a transmission window centered upon a nominal transmission time. The nominal transmission times, and therefore the transmission windows, are spaced by an exact and well-known transmission period. A reconstruct command specifies a message stream with a channel number. We specify the period and transmission scatter of the message stream as well. The only units of time used by lwdaq_recorder are data-recorder clock ticks, so we must specify the period and scatter in units of clock ticks. We specify the scatter as the maximum displacement of the transmission time from the nominal tranmission time.

Here we assume that the name of the next image, one it has been acquired, is Recorder_2. We specify 38335 for the standing value, because that was the value of the last message returned by reconstruct when it operated upon Recorder_1. At the end we give the single unaccepted value. In our example reconstruct command, we did not pass the correct standing value, nor any unaccepted values. That's why we ended up with the "7 30000" sample, which cannot be real. As you can see, reconstruct does reconstruct a message stream, but there may be one more or one less messages in each section of the message stream it returns.

With the increasing popularity of Digital video recorders, such as TIVO and Cable/Satellite DVRs, is what to do when their hard drives get full. One thing you can do is transfer your hard drive recordings to a DVD, but there are some limitations. To find out more, keep reading. Recording from a TIVO or Cable/Satellite DVR to a DVD recorder is the same as recording to a VCR, or a DVD recorder/VCR combo. In fact, your TIVO, DVR, or DVD Recorder user manual should have a page illustrating this. You can transfer programs recorded on your TIVO or DVR to a DVD recorder by connecting the S-Video outputs of the TIVO or DVR (if it has S-Video outputs - if not use the Yellow composite video outputs) and the read/white audio outputs of the DVR to the S-video or composite video inputs and red/white audio inputs of the DVD recorder. The only problem you may run into with some programs you may have recorded on your TIVO or DVR is that some channels, such as HBO, Showtime, and On-demand program services, employ a type of copy-protection that allows an initial recording on a TIVO or DVR, but will prevent that program from being copied further onto DVD or VHS. Since this is random, you won't know until you try it or take note of any copy-protection message before the program starts. If the DVD recorder detects a copy-protected signal, it will usually display a message on the DVD recorder's front panel and, possibliy, eject the DVD disc. TIVO/DVR to DVD Recording Steps 1. Check your TIVO or DVR and see if it has the following connections. S-Video, Composite Video (Yellow) and Audio outputs (Red and White). 2. Check your DVD recorder for these same connections. 3. Connect the S-Video or Composite (Yellow) video and Red/White audio outputs of the DirecTV DVR to the corresponding inputs on the DVD Recorder (labels include - video 1, video 2, line 1, line 2). 4. Set the DVD recorder to line or video input (line 1, line 2, video 1, video 2, or AV-in). 5. Insert your Blank DVD disc into the DVD recorder. 6. Follow the playback and recording instructions for the TIVO, DVR, and DVD recorder. Important Note. If your TIVO or DVR is a high definition unit, the recording on the DVD recorder will not be high definition as DVD is not a high definition format. What will happen is that the TIVO or DVR will downscale the recording output to standard definition via the S-video or Composite (yellow) video ouputs so that the DVD recorder will be able to record the signal onto DVD. Lastly, for more specifics on DVD recorders can and cannot do, check out my DVD Recorder FAQs

I am in the process of converting from Windows 98 to Windows XP. I have Adaptec Easy CD Creator Version 3.5 (it came with my HP Pavilion PC) and have had no problems up to this point. I am now getting the message There are currently no supported CD Recorders available. Please ensure that your CD Recorder is available and that all cables are properly connected. Nothing has changed as far as cables are concerned. I still need to copy data from the PC and want to put it on a CD-ROM. Since my HP Installation disk doesnt work, I actually scoured the Internet looking for the installation software and finally found it.

Hanna, Phil. "U. S. Youth Still Shows Courage and Ingenuity." Chicago Daily News, July 29, 1946, p. 22. "Those who think this generation of American youth has lost some of the traditional courage and ingenuity of the nation's builders ought to acquaint themselves with the five young 'partners' in Magnecord, Inc., 304 W. 63rd st. Here one sees two former combat correspondents in the Pacific and three electronic technicians teamed up. They've started manufacturing special purpose high fidelity wire recording machines for radio station recording, motion picture producing and other scientific work. Among other products is an anti-wire tapping device. After a message is put on a wire recorder, the device 'scrambles' the message as it is being transmitted. That makes it unintelligible. At the receiving end the device 'unscrambles' the message, and the recording 'plays' the message properly. Magnecord, Inc., is operating under a license from the Armour Research Foundation along with 30 other licensees. But the other licenses are devoting themselves to mass-produced wire recorders for home and office use, while these boys are looking toward demands from the technical and professional field. Their rcorder is designed for special, high-grade work, such as recording unusual sound phenomena in research laboratories. R. J. Tinkham, president, is an Armour Research man and a graduate of the University of Illinois. He is an acoustical engineer, did research work on wire recorders and other special devices for the Bureau of Ordnance, U. S.N., during the war. John S. Boyer, chief engineer, another Armour man, did research on underwater sound devices at the New London (Conn.) laboratory of Columbia University. He also did research work on radar at the radiation laboratory of Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Frederick A. Baxter, secretary, and C. G. Barker, sales manager, were war combat correspondents in the Pacific for three years. made the first combat wire recording at Mount Tapotachu on Saipan. made the first recordings for Army air shows. Their recordings were sent to the United States for use by radio stations and to Honolulu for conversion into wax records which were distributed over the United States. Barker worked at Armour Research Foundation prior to forming Magnecord. R. L. Landon, another Armour man, fifth member of the 'Five Horsemen,' is production manager. He worked on atomic bomb research at the University of Chicago and had war plant production experience. . . ."

When you're done recording, you need to finish storing the audio you've recorded onto the disc. On the Sharp Net MD minidisc recorder, you store the audio by pressing the off/hold button at the bottom of the main large button (but quickly release the button, or you'll go into hold mode). You can press the off/hold button either while you're still recording or while you've paused the recording. After a moment the words TOC Edit will appear on the recorder display screen (TOC stands for Table of Contents). You'll be in this TOC Edit mode for several moments, until the minidisc recorder displays a No Name message that means it has finished storing the recorded audio. Push the off/hold button again and the minidisc recorder will display a Good Bye message and shut down. On the Sharp MD-MT90 minidisc recorder, you store the audio by pressing the off/hold button (but quickly release the button, or you'll go into hold mode). You can press the off/hold button either while you're still recording or while you've paused the recording. Wait a moment for the words No Name to appear on the recorder display screen, and then push the off/hold button again. You'll go into TOC Edit mode for several moments (TOC stands for Table of Contents). The minidisc recorder then will finish storing the recorded audio, display a Good Bye message and shut down. You now can push the open/eject button to eject the minidisc. Be sure you go through the entire procedure for properly shutting down the minidisc recorder. If you don't, you may not be able to eject the minidisc from the recorder and you may lose what you've recorded.

Power supply. 12vDC, consumes no more than 100mA when operating, and only 28mA in standby mode. Allows you to quickly record up to six separate messages, and playback each one, both separately, and in a programmable order! There are four different playback modes. Mode 1 lets you playback any of the six messages once per button-press. To hear message one once, press SW1. Mode 2 is the same, only it will loop again and again, until you press the stop button. Mode 3 allows you to play any combination of messages in an order you choose, for example, if message one is "have a nice day," and message two is "please come again," then you could program it to playback message one, followed by message two, then message one again. You simply press the stop button, and your series of messages will play. "Have a nice day, please come again, have a nice day." You can have it play any of your messages in any order up to 7 all together! Mode 4 is the same as 3, only it will loop your series of messages until you press stop again! This kit can be combined with any of our relay kits. If you wanted to say have this message recorder module in your store, you could easily wire up relay kit QK130, an infrared barrier kit, which you could have in your store's doorway. When the beam is broken, by a person walking through the doorway, the relay is closed. You could simply run two wires from the relay to the pushbutton of your "Have a nice day" message, SW1, and it would greet your customers for you! You could also use an Ultrasonic Motion Detector relay kit FK508 to trigger another message, such as a person walking by one of your displays, and it triggers message three, "Try our new Orange Juice today!" But, of course, this is all over the same sound system or speaker. The audio chip has a 100 year message retention, and an average rerecording capability of 100 000 cycles. It stores in its memory up to 90 seconds of audio record time altogether, not for each (up to 6) independant message. This module uses an ISD device. Usually ships with the ISD2590. This device has a very limited bandwidth so any requirements that call for high end response will not be meet. When the module is in playback and searching for the next message a slight click can be heard. Any background noise usually makes this undetectable. But if you are fussy then you may not be happy. The ISD chips were made to store speech in portable message recorders and as such have suitable bandwidth for this task. In other words things like speech are fine but music or sound clips may be another issue if they have a lot of high frequency component.

The tests run are virtually identical, with the exception of the programming of the Header Messages. the Special #1 version uses a customized message, different from the "default" message used in standard recorders. When selecting Software Version, "Pre- Version 09A" refers to releases that preceded version RMS us. A of the Standard firmware (equivalently, releases preceding RMS us. A of the Special #1 firmware). "Post- Version 09A" refers to releases RMS us. A and later (equivalently, RMS us. A and later). All firmware releases of GR33A recorders are of the "Post- Version 09A" type. For illustration purposes, the table below shows the evolution of the firmware, indicating the distinction between "Pre- Version 09A" and "Post- Version 09A".

After printing of Header Messages, Standard recorders will leave 16 blank dot-rows as spacing. Special #1 recorders leave 120 blank dot-rows.

For Standard recorders, Programmable Header Messages are factory-configured to a standard format. For Special #1 recorders a Print Form designed by the customer is used.

SelfTalker is a family of digital message repeaters designed for point-of-purchase displays and other general purpose applications. These sound boxes can play natural sounding voice messages, music or sound effects. There are no moving parts in the unit, hence no degradation of voice quality due to mechanical wear and tear. Each delivery of the message is as good as the first one throughout the product life. Message announcement is activated by either a built-in motion sensor or a push button. It is ideally suited for use to unobtrusively bring a passerby’s attention to an article, a service or an event in a promotional campaign or to deliver a message of aution to an apporaching person for possible dangers. SelfTalkers are available in different styles at different price/performance ratio. Some are built to last for permanent displays, and some are designed for low-cost disposable applications. Some offer high voice quality for the most demanding projects, and some provide moderate voice quality at bargain prices. Two kinds of SelfTalkers are available. recorders and players. SelfTalker recorders can record and play messages for virtually unlimited number of times. A built-in microphone and a line in jack are provided for message recording. Once recorded, the message is kept in the non-volatile internal memory until it’s re-recorded. The SelfTalker recorders are ideal for applications requiring frequent message change or message recording by end users in the field. However, SelfTalker recorders are generally more expensive than SelfTalker players. SelfTalker players can not record any messages on their own, they can only play pre-programmed messages. Some models use interchangeable message cartridges to facilitate message change in the field. Instead of re-recording the message like SelfTalker recorders, these players’ message can be changed by replacing the message cartridge. SelfTalker players offer slightly better sound quality than the SelfTalker recorders, and are more cost effective when mass produced.

* Single message up to 8.5 minutes long * Built-in motion sensor or push button* Both players and recorders are available* Players use cartridge for easy message update* Use 4 D batteries or DC adaptor*

This invention relates to the field of digital video recording and in particular to coupling between various equipment components. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONA digital video signal may be processed to form a bit stream having a reduced bit rate. Such processing for bit rate reduction may be implemented according to an MPEG compression method, and may be formatted, for example, with an MPEG compatible structure, such as that employed in a digital satellite system, for example DSS™ or the proposed Grand Alliance or GA terrestrial system. A consumer video recorder may be adapted to provide recording capabilities for both analog signals and digitally encoded signals processed for example, for compatibility with an MPEG standard and having GA or DSS™ signal formats. The adapted consumer video recorder may be considered as two electronic systems within one box, sharing a recording mechanism, servo and control systems. A conventional analog recording method may be employed where an analog luminance signal component frequency modulates an RF carrier and an analog chrominance signal component amplitude modulates a second RF carrier. When reproduced, the two modulated signals are demodulated, combined and coupled out for video display. During both record and replay operating modes, onscreen display messages may indicate operational status, warning conditions, tape duration, record time, time code etc., of the video recorder. These on-screen display messages or OSDs may be added to the analog video output signal to provide the user with recorder status information. Digital recording may be achieved by using the consumer video recorder as a digital bit stream recorder/reproducer. The MPEG compatible bit stream, for example transport packets, may be recorded by reformatting the transport packets to facilitate recording and reproduction. For example, the transport packets may be buffered and error detection and correction data words computed and added. The bit stream with error correction added may be formatted into recording data blocks or sync blocks containing a predetermined number of bytes which may be accommodated in each recorded track. The sync block signal may be coded to render the signal more suitable for digital recording, for example, to remove any DC component, or provide spectral shaping of the recorded signal, such modulation may be produced by "code book" type encoding. In a playback mode the recording processes are effectively reversed, for example, the "code book" encoding is decoded, errors are detected and corrected and the sync block formatting is removed restoring the bit stream to the original MPEG like format. To minimize the additional cost increment of digital recording and reproduction, MPEG decoding and encoding is not included in the recorder. Thus the recorder must process the MPEG like packet stream without changes or additions. Hence the recorder provides a program delay or time shifting facility. However, recorder status and warnings and tape timer displays, which during analog operation are added to the analog output signal, may be absent during digital operating modes. Hence, recorder status, etc. may only be ascertained by observation of the recorder control panel. System interconnection and control between a digital signal source, recorder and monitor display may be simplified by the use of a bidirectional data bus. However, any interconnection additional to that of an analog system may present the user with incomprehensible installation complexity and confusion. A simple interconnection method is required which may provide coupling between a digital signal source and display regardless of a recorder's operational status. The simple interconnection method must facilitate both analog and digital recorder operation by utilizing the same interconnection system. In addition, recorder status and warning messages are required for user display during both analog and digital recorder operating modes. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Recorder status, warnings and tape timer displays which, for reasons described above are absent during digital operating modes are advantageously provided by the following inventive arrangements. A digital recording and replay apparatus is adapted for operation with a decoder for digitally compressed video signals. The apparatus comprises a transducer for reproducing a digital encoded bit stream signal from a recorded medium. Replay electronics are coupled to the transducer for processing the digital encoded bit stream signal to produce an output signal bit stream for decoding. A status message generator for generating a display message is responsive to an operating mode of the apparatus. A receiving means for receives a video signal decoded from the output signal bit stream. An adding means is coupled to the status message generator for receiving and adding the display message to the video signal. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGFIG. 1 depicts in block diagram form packetized signal sources coupled for decoding and display. FIG. 2 shows an exemplary block diagram including various inventive embodiments. FIG. 3 is an exemplary block diagram showing a simplified switch including various inventive embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTIONA simplified consumer digital audio video system is illustrated in FIG. 1. Sources of packetized, compressed audio video and control data are shown coupled for decoding and display. A receiver, IRD 100 is depicted coupled to a receiving antenna 50, however, a modulated signal may be provided from a cable distribution network (not shown). The modulated packetized signal is tuned, demodulated and a user determined program is separated within the block indicated as PACKET SOURCE 109. An output of PACKET SOURCE 109 comprises a transport packet stream of audio video and control data which is MPEG decoded to produce audio and video signals by DECODER 117. The output from DECODER 117 is coupled for monitoring by display 300. Other sources of packetized signals are shown coupled with a dotted line as alternative data streams for MPEG decoding by decoder 117. Thus DECODER 117 may be utilized to decode transport streams from external packet sources thereby reducing the cost of these other sources. For example, PACKET SOURCE 75 may represent a computer forming a packetized output signal. Such a signal may be derived from a computer memory, or may originate from an external source such as a computer network. Such a computer source may reproduce compressed audio video and control data from disk memory. In addition, PACKET SOURCE 75 may represent a digital video disk player such as, for example, a DVD format device. A further source of transport packets may be provided by a magnetic tape player recorder, PACKET SOURCE 200, which may have a format in accordance with, for example, D-VHS or DVC standards. A simplified consumer digital video receiver, recorder and display system is illustrated in the exemplary block diagram of FIG. 2. The system employs a digital video signal source, for example an integrated receiver decoder or IRD 100, an audio video monitor display device 300 and a digital video cassette recorder 200, for example employing a D-VHS or DVC format. In the illustrated system, a digital video representative signal is modulated on an RF carrier and received by an antenna 50. Antenna 50 is coupled to an integrated receiver decoder IRD 100. However, a modulated carrier may be delivered to receiver 100 by a cable distribution system (not shown). The integrated receiver decoder 100 is tuned to the RF carrier frequency and demodulates therefrom an MPEG compatible transport data stream modulation. The transport data stream may be decoded to produce analog audio and video signals for immediate monitoring by audio video display 300. The decoded output signals are represented by signals 101 and 104, which are coupled between receiver, IRD 100 and display 300. Cost considerations may dictate that digital recorder 200 does not include MPEG encoding and decoding. Hence digital recorder 200 functions as a bit stream recorder/player, to provide time shifting or program delay capability. The omission of MPEG processing and the degree of complexity required to facilitate non-standard speed replay capability, precludes image reproduction in SHUTTLE, SLOW MOTION or TRICK-PLAY modes. Thus in summary, receiver 100 couples an MPEG compatible packet stream to digital A/V bus 112 for recording by recorder 200. Similarly a reproduced packet stream from recorder 200 is coupled back to the receiver for MPEG decoding, and audio/video generation. An additional consequence of omitting MPEG processing from the recorder is that status messages, in the form of on-screen display messages or OSDs, cannot be combined or added to the replay packetized bit stream. Thus the operational status of the recorder is not readily obvious to the user. In addition, since recorder image data is only available during RECORD, PLAY and STOP modes, the user may be uncertain as to the responsiveness of the recorder following control commands. For example, transitioning from PLAY to REWIND may result in the replay image switching for example, to the input bit stream, a condition known as electronics to electronics or E to E, or for example, the replay image may disappear and be replaced by frozen frame derived by the IRD, or perhaps the moving image may be substituted by a colored field. Thus the user may not readily associate these visual display effects as indicia of recorder mode responsiveness. The system illustrated in FIG. 2, shows a first inventive interconnection arrangement where a demodulated transport bit stream is coupled from receiver IRD 100 to recorder 200 via a bidirectional data bus 112. The transport packet stream is coupled to the data bus via an interface port 110 and is received at recorder 200 by means of interface port 210. The interface ports are controlled via a control data stream which is carried on a separate conductor included with data bus 112. Control signals may be derived from user input by activation of control switches (not shown), or by user generated IR remote control commands. For example, a user may chose to monitor a digital audio video signal received by dish antenna 50. The receiver may be selected by touch or via a remote control, for example IR. Receiver selection may result in the automatic monitoring the display selection, i. e. the display is automatically switched to monitor the MPEG decoded audio video outputs. The user may select a digital RECORD mode which results in coupling the received transport stream from IRD 100 via bus 112 to the recorder and initiating recording. Similarly selection of a digital recorder PLAY mode results in a replayed data stream being coupled via bus 112 for decoding by decoder 117 of receiver 100.The MPEG compatible, packetized signal is coupled to recorder 200 and processed for recording by block D. REC. 210. A buffer memory is included in block D. REC. 210, and buffers the data stream to establish a signal more suited for recording than the packetized signal comprising bursts of data with variable duration gaps. The buffered data stream is read from the buffer to form record format sync blocks which may be encoded with error detection/correction data words. The sync block formatted data stream may be modulated for recording as described, and coupled from recording block D. REC. 210 via a selector switch A4. Selector switches A4 and A5 are controlled responsive to the selected D-VCR operating mode. For example, in FIG. 2 switches A4 and A5 are shown for digital recording and reproduction, with switch contacts DR, digital record and DP digital playback coupling data streams to and from a rotating head assembly 250. For analog operation, switches A4 and A5 assume the alternate position as indicated by AR, analog record and AP analog playback. The sync block formatted data stream from D. REC. 210 is coupled to rotating head assembly 250 for recording on a magnetic tape. In a PLAY mode the recorded sync block formatted data stream is reproduced from the magnetic tape by transducing heads 251 positioned on assembly 250. The recovered signal is demodulated by digital replay block D. Rep. 220, to remove any recording channel modulation. The replay signal is then subject to error detection and correction by means of the data words inserted prior to recording. Following error correction, the sync block formatting is removed and the bit stream restored to have substantially the same the packet format as that coupled to the recorder for recording. The packet stream from block D. Rep. 220 is coupled to interface port 210 which, responsive to the recorder PLAY mode couples the packet stream to the bi-directional data bus 112 for MPEG decoding by decoder 117.Integrated receiver decoder 100 decodes the MPEG compatible packet stream and generates both video and audio output signals. For example, FIG. 2 illustrates video and audio output signals 101 and 102 and a component video signal 104, for example S-Video. However, these digitally reproduced video signals are without recorder status information usually provided by means of an on-screen display or OSD. Receiver IRD 100, shown in simplified form in FIG. 2, comprises a controller, CTRL. 115, which provides overall control of the receiver, for example tuning, packet header control demultiplexing, bus interface control and selection of packet source for coupling to MPEG decoder 117. In addition the receiver status, or operational mode, may be indicated by means of an on-screen display message added to the decoded video signals. Controller 115 may construct an on-screen display message or may read a predetermined stored message from memory block MEM. 510. The on-screen display message or OSD is coupled to an OSD inserter or adder, block 520 where the message is formatted for analog video display and added or combined with the MPEG decoded video signal. The video with OSD signal is coupled out via output amplifier 118 for display by monitor display 300.In FIG. 2 recorder player 200 includes an on-screen display generator, OSD. GEN. 270, coupled to a control system CTRL 205. In response to signals from the recorder control system 205, OSD generator 270 generates status or warning messages appropriate to the operation condition. These messages are formatted as video signals for insertion or inclusion with an analog video signal in block, OSD. ADD 275. Analog video signals are coupled to the on-screen display adder 275 from a video selector block SEL. 280.Selector 280 is controlled by control system 205 and provides selection capability between various analog signal sources. For example, switch A1 provides analog input signal selection between a tuner derived signal, a baseband analog signal input and an MPEG decoded audio video output signal 102. The output from switch A1 is coupled for analog recording by block A. REC. Selector switch A3 of SEL 280 advantageously provides selection of signal coupling to on-screen display adder 275. In FIG. 2 switch A3 is shown providing an inventive coupling of the video component of output signal 102 to the input of on-screen display adder 275. Thus, recorder player 200 status messages generated, for example during playback, may be added to video signal component 102 decoded from the output transport packet stream. Thus the digitally derived MPEG decoded replay signal with on-screen messages added, signal 103, may be viewed by display 300.During analog operation of recorder player 200, switch A3 couples an analog replay signal, shown as signal VHS, to on-screen display adder 275. Thus during analog operation OSD messages are added to the analog replay video signal. When digital recording is selected, OSD messages may be advantageously added to the analog video signal 102 decoded from the reproduced bit stream. Thus, by means of this advantageous feedback connection recorder status messages are combined with the video component and output as analog signal 103.Switch A2 of selector SEL. 280 advantageously provides a connection which bypasses on-screen display adder 275 and allows output signal 102 to be coupled directly to monitor display 300. Thus the bypass action of switch A2 allows viewing of decoded output signals and removes the possibility of signal degradation due to adder 275. The bypass path A2 may be automatically selected when the recorder is OFF, in a STAND BY mode, or when viewing a decoded, non-recorded "live" bit stream. To permit viewing of decoded non-recorded signals during analog recording, the bypass switch may be manually activated. The advantageous bypass connection obviates unnecessary analog recorder signal processing, for example via the E/E recorder path which inherently degrades the digitally derived signal 102. In addition the advantageous bypass function may be facilitated, for example by mechanical contact, such that switch A2 allows receiver IRD 100 to be connected to monitor display 300 without regard to the operational status of recorder 200.On-screen display generator 270 generates messages formatted with specific horizontal and vertical synchronizing timing such that when inserted into the video signal the message is displayed at a predetermined position on the display screen. However, when operating in the digital replay mode and employing the advantageous feedback connection discussed above, OSD messages may be advantageously generated with horizontal and vertical synchronizing timing which is different from that employed during analog recorder operation. This different horizontal and vertical synchronizing timing advantageously compensates for replay signal propagation and MPEG decoding delays encountered, for example, in receiver 100. Thus, the use of different OSD synchronizing timing advantageously achieves substantially the same predetermined message position in either analog or digital recorder operation. Processing and MPEG decoding time delays may amount to periods of multiple frames. A multiple frame delay, or temporal offset, will result in an OSD message preceding an actual reproduced visual event. This temporal offset, where the recorder OSD message precedes a reproduced event, may be revealed as a consequence of a user control command and the delayed appearance of the corresponding reproduced image effect. The temporal offset may represent a more significant problem when displaying a recorded time code signal or the recorder tape timer. For example, during tape replay specific events may be noted from an on-screen display of the recorder tape timer or an OSD of a recorded time code signal. The noted times allow for subsequent location of the selected events. However, should the noted times be used as edit points for electronic editing performed between recorders, the resultant edited scenes will precede those selected during previewing. The effect of the temporal offset between the message and the replay image may be advantageously eliminated by a delaying, message generation, message communication, OSD presentation or by modifying the tape timer/time code numbers or count. In recorder 200 a delay, depicted as DLY. 207, may be selected by switches A7 or A8. For example, when decoded video signal 102 is fed back for recorder OSD message insertion at block 275, an OSD message command may be generated responsive to controller 205. The message command signal CMD, from controller 205 is illustrated coupled to switch A7 and delay DLY 207. Switch A7 is controlled responsive to the recording mode selected for recorder 200, i. e. analog or digital. Switch A7 is shown in the digital mode, and selects a delayed version of signal CMD from delay 207. The delayed command signal results in the generation and insertion of an OSD message which is substantially coincident with decoded video signal. An alternative arrangement employs switch A8 which may insert delay 207 into the output from the OSD generator 270. In this arrangement switch A7 is connected to the output of controller 205. Switch A8 may also be employed to delay coupling of signal CMD to bus 112 and IRD 100. The temporal offset between the OSD message and the decoded replay image may also be corrected in receiver 100 by the introduction of a delay, for example as depicted by DLY. 116, into either the memory accessing signal or the memory output signal. Synchronization of repay image and OSD may be achieved by various methods, for example, by means of a delay using a clocked data latch, shift register, monostable multivibrator, etc. A tape timer or time code OSD may be synchronized with the decoded image, for example during edit mode preview by arithmetic manipulation of the display numerals. Thus the selected image and associated display numerals may be entered to enable an electronic edit to be performed. During analog operation of recorder 200 the command signal CMD, from controller 205 is not delayed and switch A7 couples directly to generator 270.In another inventive embodiment, on-screen display messages originated by recorder 200, may advantageously utilize the on-screen display capability of receiver 100. Recorder derived messages may be coupled via the control conductor of data bus 112 to receiver 100 for on-screen display insertion at block OSD 520 of FIG. 2. The recorder message data may be formatted as a text message by generator 270, to which a tag or label is appended. The tagged text message shown as signal 271, is coupled to controller 115 of IRD 100 for separation from other control bus data. Following separation the text message is coupled for display formatting and video insertion by OSD 520. The text message is generated responsive to OSD command signal CMD from controller 205. As described earlier, signal CMD may be subject to delay at block 207. However, the text message from block 270 may be delayed at an alternative point by switch A7 insertion of delay 207.In a further inventive embodiment, receiver 100 includes a memory 510 which contains receiver on-screen display messages and OSD messages specific to recorder 200. Recorder specific messages may be accessed responsive to recorder on-screen display command signal, CMD, which may be coupled via the control bus to controller 115. In recorder 200 the on-screen display command signal CMD, is generated by controller 205 which in addition determines the message to be generated. Thus command signal CMD, may be advantageously coupled to receiver 100 to enable accessing and display formatting of recorder specific graphical messages stored in a memory 510.In yet another inventive arrangement receiver 100 may adaptively select between the recorder text message or a receiver graphical message responsive to a recorder command. The selection between the recorder text or IRD graphical message display permits the interconnection of recorders and receivers of differing ages having different features and facilities. For example, an older receiver may be connected to a recently manufactured recorder thus, the receiver memory may not contain preprogrammed graphical messages to support recorder on-screen message presentation. Thus the receiver may display the simple text message generated by the recorder. Conversely, a more modern receiver may be preprogrammed with selections of graphical messages for a variety of products of various manufactured ages and these various graphical messages may be displayed in place of the recorder text message. Selection between simple text or graphical message is facilitated by the tag or label which is appended to the text message. For example, the tag or label may contain the command signal CMD which selects, and enables the required recorder specific message. In addition the label may provide sufficient data capacity to communicate recorder profile information relating to, for example, the date of recorder manufacture, model, version or revision level and serial number. When the text message with tag or label is received by controller 115, the tag or label is interpreted which results in the selection of a recorder specific graphical message from IRD memory 510. However, if the receiver memory is not preprogrammed with the specified recorder message or with a message specific to the recorder profile, the tag enables formatting and display of the appended simple text message. As described previously a delay element may be inserted to compensate for temporal and spatial displacement between the OSD message, text or graphical, and the replayed decoded image. FIG. 2 illustrates a monitor display 300 having three analog signal inputs. audio video signals 101 and 103, and an audio and component video signal 104, for example, S-video or luminance and coloring components Y, Pr, Pb. In addition, display 300 may receive audio and video signals via radio frequency signals, depicted as RF IN. A signal selector 310, couples as is known, to video and synchronizing processing circuitry, not shown, which in combination generate an image display. Signal selector 310, may be controlled by user activated switches located on display 300, or by user initiated remote control commands transmitted via a modulated IR control stream. The three baseband input signal illustrated may be advantageously selected by automated control of selector switch 310. For example, selection of digital recording or replay modes may automatically select an input signal containing recorder OSD status display information. The recorder status OSD may be generated and originate as previously described. In addition, the provision of multiple baseband signal inputs may allow function specific device interconnection. For example, the direct viewing of a decoded, non-recorded, signal from IRD 100 may be facilitated by use of, for example, output signal 101, or component video signal 103, with IRD output signal 102 routed for recorder OSD insertion to form A/V signal 103.FIG. 3 illustrates the use of a reduced cost display, for example, as depicted as display 301. To reduce the display cost the number of signal inputs may be limited to, for example, an RF input, a component video or S-video input and one audio video signal input. The advantageous selection and bypass capability of selector 280 of FIG. 2, permits display 301 to monitor recorded, and non-recorded material via a single A/V input. However, the display may advantageously utilize the component video signal connection to determine and control the display input selection in addition to signal coupling. For example, since component video signals or S-VIDEO signals may be assumed to provide superior display image quality to that attainable from an NTSC encoded signal, the presence of such component signals coupled to a component signal input may automatically cause selection of the component signal source. Thus when both component and composite signals are coupled to display 301 inputs 1 and 2 respectively, the input controller has logic which predetermines selection of the component signal as a preferred input. However, this automated input selection may prevent monitoring of signals containing recorder specific on-screen display information coupled from recorder 200 of FIG. 2. However, the automated, preferential input selection may be advantageously utilized to enable remotely controlled selection of the audio video signal, for example signal 103 at input 2. Signals containing on-screen display information coupled via recorder 200 may be viewed on display 301 by an inventive control of component signal 104 by means of allowing or terminating output coupling signal 104 from IRD 100. For example, user selection of a non-recorded bit stream, i. e. received signal, will result in controller 115 of receiver 100 enabling generation or outputting of component signal 104, having for example, an S-VIDEO format. The selection of a recorded image signal for display will result in controller 115 terminating generation, or outputting of component signal 104. Thus controller 312 of monitor 301 is coupled to the component signal input terminal to senses via signal 309 the absence of signal 104 and causes input selector 311 to switch from the component input signal 104, on input 1 to, for example, audio video signal 103, on input 2 coupled via selector 280 of recorder 200 in FIG. 2.* * * * *

I have a JLMS XJ-HD166S DVD Drive which I think has been malfunctioning ever since I purchased my computer over a year ago. I have never used it much, and it works fine for DVDs I buy at stores, but I cannot burn any of my own. I have Roxio unfortunately and whenever I try to record, the error message says. No supported DVD-Recorders were detected on your system. I hate this thing. I just got it to work with DVDs burned on other computers by doing a check disk because I got Cyclic Redundancy Check errors. It also takes a couple of minutes to settle down after putting a blank DVD in it. It is supposed to work with both +R and -R and I have -Rs and am about to go Office Space on this thing.

No supported dvd-recorders were detected on your system', dvd no support message, dvd recorder says no dvd support, error message, no detected dvd recorder in system, error no supported dvd recorders were detected on your system, i hate dvd recorders, jlms xj dvd recorder, no dvd recorder detected, no dvd rom detected, no dvd rom in system

I recently got a bluetooth cellphone (Nokia 6230). You got this wireless headphone in your ear, you're driving along, think of something or hear something on the radio. You hit one button on the earpiece, say "record" and say your piece. Or say "home" and put a message on your home answering machine. Recorder message can be up to 3 minutes.

I am not able to view the problem solving answers to the solution on this site although I know they are here somewhere. Can someone let me know why I received this message on my RCA Model DRC832ON recorder before it totally died on me after trying to power it on. I am not even able to get the power to turn on the machine. Thank you. Leo

Awwwwwwww Thank You Mrs Little. you sound lovely!! I will my record own voice message on the recorder today at some point when I have the time to do it. I'm babysitting my little Aaron today so I wont be on the computer for long. were going to rub jelly into the rug, scream at the cat lovingly hoping she'll come to Aarons hands (I dont think so) and we'll give Grandad heartburn when we play with his vinyls

Digital audio recorders are used as voice memo recorders, and as voice message recorders in portable telephone sets. Audio recorders for use in conferences, business meetings and the like have evolved in recent years from relatively large, heavy devices using motor driven magnetic tapes to lightweight portable units which may be hand held and are powered by small batteries. Voice-activated, voice logging recorders are widely used in monitoring such communications as those involving police, fire and aircraft and in providing accurate records of business meetings, legal proceedings, educational material, etc. Solid state memories employing integrated circuits have supplanted tape recorders in many applications. Integrated circuit recorders may record analog values representing the instantaneous amplitude of the sound reaching the unit's microphone or the microphone output may be digitized and stored as binary values. Some digital audio recorders employ nonvolatile semiconductor memory, such as flash memory, as a recording medium.
