Device for detecting the connectivity of a monitor and inhibiting a data reproducing operation

摘要

A data regenerating device includes a connecting device for connecting the data regenerating device to an external device. The data regeneration device regenerates data which has been stored in a predetermined recording medium arranged to be adapted to the data regenerating device in a predetermined manner via the external device. The data regenerating device comprises a judging component for judging whether the external device is able to receive the data to be regenerated and an inhibiting component for inhibiting a predetermined data processing for the data regenerating operation when it is judged by the judging component that the external device is not able to receive the data. Therefore, it becomes possible to prevent electrical power required for operating the data regenerating device from being undesirably spent and also prevent a regenerating head provided within the data regenerating device and the video floppy disk from being undesirably worn away.
