SYNCHRONOUS DUBBING METHOD AND SYSTEM IN COMPACT DISC-CASSETTE PLAYER

摘要

A synchronous dubbing method dubs a compact disc in synchronism with the playback of the compact disc in a compact disc-cassette player. In the method, a plurality of pieces of music on a compact disc are playedback and recorded to a first side of a cassette tape in synchronism with the playback of the compact disc. First side of the cassette tape is detected while recording the playedback music onto the first side of cassette tape. It is judged whether a current position of the first side of cassette tape is an end mute area. The playback operation is paused and the record operation is stopped when the current position of first side of cassette tape is the end mute area. The compact disc is returned to a start position of a piece of music playedback at a time of the playback pause operation, and a music part of the cassette tape recorded at a time of the record stop operation is erased. It is judged whether a record side of the cassette tape is changed. The playback operation of the compact disc paused is restarted from the returned position and the plurality of pieces of music of the compact disc are recorded onto the second side of the cassette tape when the record side of compact disc has changed. According to the method, since a plurality of music of a compact disc are recorded onto only recording areas of a cassette tape but not recorded onto mute areas thereof, the pluality of pieces of music can completely be recorded onto the cassette tape without discontinuity.
