Personal audio recorder in a vehicular entertainment sound system

摘要

A method of recording a plurality of audio signals associated with an entertainment sound system (42) of an automotive vehicle (12) includes an audio input (20). A plurality of audio signals (18) is transmitted from the audio input (20) to a controller (24) within the automotive vehicle (12). A preferred plurality of audio signals (36) is acoustically played on the entertainment sound system (42). A recorder (28) is actuated to record the preferred plurality of audio signals (34) onto an electronic medium (30) within the vehicle (42). Consequently, the preferred plurality of audio signals (34) is recorded onto the electronic medium (30). An acoustical transmission of the preferred plurality of audio signals (34) received from said audio input (20) is halted at a halting point. Finally, the acoustical transmission is resumed from the electronic medium (30), from the halting point simultaneously as the plurality of audio signals (18) continues being recorded.
