Optical disc player

Abstract

Abstract Large characters and numerals of a lapse time, a musical program title, or the like of a musical program under the performance recorded on a photomagnetic disc can be displayed, and an inadvertent erase of a musical program can be prevented. The TNO and lapse time of each musical program during the performance are displayed on a display unit as shown in Fig.3 at (f). Under this condition, when a title key is depressed, the title for the TNO is displayed for a predetermined time period on the display unit as shown in Fig.3 at (g). After the predetermined time period, the lapse time for the TNO is displayed as shown in Fig.3 at (h). When an erase key is depressed during the performance of a musical program, a controller erases the disc management information and additional information for the TNO from a RAM storing U-TOC information, and renumbers other TNOs to update the contents of RAM. Upon depression of a tray open key of a key matrix, the controller instructs an MD record/reproduction unit to stop the reproduction and copies the management information and additional information for the TNO stored in RAM to another RAM and records the copied information to a U-TOC area of a mini disc. Thereafter, the MD record/reproduction unit operates to eject out the disc cartridge.
