REPRODUCING APPARATUS ENABLING THE ACTUAL BEGINNING OF THE REPRODUCTION OF A TELEVISION PROGRAM RECORDED ON A MAGNETIC TAPE

摘要

In a reproducing apparatus (1) comprising magnetic tape transport means (8) for transporting a magnetic tape (15) with a normal-play reproduction speed (V1), at least one trick-play reproduction speed (V2-V9) and a winding speed (VS, VR), where the at least one trick-play reproduction speed (V2-V9) and the winding speed (VS-VR) are higher than the normal-play reproduction speed (V1), and comprising reproducing means (7, 10) for reproducing digital signal data (SD) from normal-play reproduction areas of a magnetic tape (15) transported by the magnetic tape transport means (8) with the normal-play reproduction speed (V1) or from trick-play reproduction areas from a magnetic tape (15) transported by the magnetic tape transport means (8) with a trick-play reproduction speed (V2-V9), and comprising control means (31) for controlling the magnetic tape transport means (8) in a playback search mode to achieve a transportation of the magnetic tape (15) until a predefined magnetic tape position (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11) is reached with a higher speed than the normal-play reproduction speed (V1) and, subsequently, a transportation of the magnetic tape (15) with the normal-play reproduction speed (V1), assigning means (30) are arranged for assigning at least one predefined magnetic tape position (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11) with an at least one trick-play reproduction speed (V2-V9) and the control means (31) are provided for reaching a predefined magnetic tape position (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11) for controlling the magnetic tape transport means (8) to transport the magnetic tape (15) until the predefined magnetic tape position (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11) is reached with the trick-play reproduction speed (V2-V9) assigned to the predefined magnetic tape position (P3, P4, P7, P10, P11).
