Claims
- 1. A tape recorder comprising:
- a) reproducing means for reproducing an information signal recorded on a tape-shaped recording medium;
- b) transport means for transporting the tape-shaped recording medium;
- c) a dial; and
- d) control means for setting a transport speed of the tape-shaped recording medium transported by said transport means at one of a plurality of speeds according to a rotation phase angle of said dial, said control means being arranged to be operable while said reproducing means is in operation, and said control means including means for establishing a plurality of predetermined specific speeds within the plurality of speeds having a relatively greater phase angle of rotation of said dial than the phase angle rotation of said dial for the plurality of speeds not at said predetermined specific speeds.
- 2. A tape recorder according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of predetermined specific speeds includes a speed which is the same as the transport speed at which the tape-shaped recording medium is transported when the information signal is recorded.
- 3. A tape recorder according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of predetermined specific speeds includes a speed which is one half of the transport speed at which the tape-shaped recording medium is transported when the information signal is recorded.
- 4. A tape recorder according to claim 2, wherein the plurality of predetermined specific speeds includes a speed which is two times as high as the transport speed at which the tape-shaped recording medium is transported when the information signal is recorded.
- 5. A tape recorder according to claim 1, wherein a speed difference between adjacent speeds among the plurality of speeds is arranged to become larger as the adjacent speeds become higher.
- 6. A tape recorder according to claim 1, wherein said control means includes a rotary encoder arranged to output a pulse every time said dial is turned a predetermined angle of degree, a counter arranged to count pulses output from said rotary encoder, and a control circuit arranged to control said transport means according to a counted value provided by said counter.
- 7. A tape recorder according to claim 6, wherein said counter is arranged to be enabled to count the pulses output from said rotary encoder only when said reproducing means is in operation.
- 8. A tape recorder according to claim 1, further comprising manual operation means for rendering said control means and said reproducing means operative.
- 9. A tape recorder according to claim 1, further comprising recording means for recording an information signal on the tape-shaped recording medium.
- 10. A tape recorder comprising:
- a) transport means for transporting a tape-shaped recording medium;
- b) a dial; and
- c) control means for setting a transport speed of the tape-shaped recording medium transported by said transport means at one of a plurality of speeds according to a rotation phase angle of said dial, and said control means including means for establishing a plurality of predetermined specific speeds within the plurality of speeds having a relatively greater phase angle of rotation of said dial than the phase angle of rotation of said dial for the plurality of speeds not at said specific speeds.
- 11. A tape recorder comprising:
- a) transport means for transporting a tape-shaped recording medium;
- b) operation means for permitting a manual operation;
- c) pulse generating means for generating pulses in response to the operation of said operation means;
- d) a counter for counting the pulses generated by said pulse generating means; and
- e) control means for setting a transport speed of the tape-shaped recording medium transported by said transport means at one of a plurality of speeds according to respective count values provided by said counter, said control means further responding to count values at predetermined counts of said counter corresponding to a plurality of predetermined specific speeds within the plurality of speeds in which said predetermined specific speeds do not change, whereby in the operation of said manual operation means there is a higher degree of recognition at the plurality of predetermined specific speeds.
- 12. A tape recorder according to claim 11, wherein said operation means includes a dial, and wherein said pulse generating means is arranged to generate a pulse every time said dial is turned a predetermined angle of degree.
- 13. A reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a) reproducing means operable for reproducing an information signal recorded on a recording medium;
- b) moving means for moving the recording medium;
- c) a dial; and
- d) control means for setting a moving speed of the recording medium moved by said moving means at one of a plurality of speeds according to a rotation phase angle of said dial, said control means being arranged to be operable while said reproducing means is in operation, and said control means including means for establishing a plurality of predetermined specific speeds within the plurality of speeds having a relatively greater phase angle of rotation of said dial than the phase angle rotation of said dial for the plurality of speeds not at said predetermined specific speeds.
- 14. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 13, wherein the plurality of predetermined specific speeds includes a speed which is the same as the moving speed at which the recording medium is moved when the information signal is recorded.
- 15. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the plurality of predetermined specific speeds includes a speed which is one half of the moving speed at which the recording medium is moved when the information signal is recorded.
- 16. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein the plurality of predetermined specific speeds includes a speed which is two times as high as the moving speed at which the recording medium is moved when the information signal is recorded.
- 17. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 13, wherein a speed difference between adjacent speeds among the plurality of speeds is arranged to become larger as the adjacent speeds become higher.
- 18. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 13, wherein said control means includes a rotary encoder arranged to output a pulse every time said dial is turned through a predetermined angle, a counter arranged to count pulses output from said rotary encoder, and a control circuit arranged to control said moving means according to a counted value provided by said counter.
- 19. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 18, wherein said counter is arranged to be enabled to count the pulses output from said rotary encoder only when said reproducing means is in operation.
- 20. A reproducing apparatus according to claim 13, further comprising manual operation means for rendering said control means and said reproducing means operative.
