Abstract: 1505172 Mode control of recording/playback apparatus SONY CORP 21 May 1975 [28 May 1974] 21903/75 Heading G5R A main mode selector 21 to 25 feeds trigger pulses to a self-holding control circuit 26 which responsively establishes and maintains corresponding modes of operation of a recording and/or playback apparatus, and an auxiliary operating mode selector 13 can be disposed in an inoperative position and in an operative position which corresponds to one of said modes and in which an auxiliary trigger signal from a generator 1 causes selector 13 to feed an auxiliary trigger signal to the circuit 26 to automatically cause establishment of the mode corresponding to that selected by selector 13. The main selector comprises non-locking pushbutton switches 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 for selecting record, replay, rewind, stop and fast-forward respectively, the second mode being selected, by simultaneous operation of switches 21, 22. Momentary closure of switch 21, 22, 23 or 25 sets flip-flop (101), (102), (103) or (104), respectively, Fig. 3 (not shown), whereby relay (105), or solenoid (106) and relay (106<SP>1</SP>), or solenoid (107) or (108) respectively are energized to condition the mechanical and electrical components to the selected mode. Momentary closure of stop switch 22 resets all of the flip-flops (101) to (104). When a timer- or telephone-operated switch TS is closed to connect a transformer 1 to an A.C. supply, an auxiliary trigger signal pulse is produced at point D by a signal generator comprising D.C. power supply 1, 2, 3, RC timing circuit 5, 4, switching transistor 8, and RC differentiator 11, 10. A terminal V 0  of the D.C. power supply may be used to energize other circuits of the apparatus. The auxiliary selector is a manually operable switch 13 with a stable position 13E in which the auxiliary trigger pulse is grounded and thus ineffective, a stable position 13P in which the auxiliary trigger pulse turns on transistor 19 to set flip-flop (102) in circuit 26 to effect playback, and a stable position 13R in which the auxiliary trigger pulse turns on transistors 16, 19 to set flip-flops (101), (102) in circuit 26 to effect recording, e.g. of a telephone message. Except during the momentary periods of conduction of transistor 19 and/or 16, the main selector 21-25 remains effective irrespective of the position of auxiliary selector 13.
