More specifically, the reservation recording setting contents which have been reserved are set to be the time when the first main power of the video cassette recorder is turned on or the start time of the reservation recording. The present invention relates to a reservation recording guidance method of a video cassette recorder which displays a reservation recording setting set in advance for a certain time on a screen to notify a reservation recording status.

A general video cassette recorder records video information and audio information coming from a camera or other external device that outputs video information and audio information to a recording medium (hereinafter referred to as a video tape), or to a video tape. A home appliance that reads recorded video information or audio information and outputs it to a monitor or other output device connected to the output through the video / audio signal output of the video cassette recorder. If you look at the function of the video cassette recorder to read out, if you insert a video tape into the deck and operate the key recording key configured on the keypad of the video cassette recorder, the tuned tuner is tuned by the tuner configured inside the video cassette recorder. Signals, cameras and other external devices From the input been video / audio information to the head provided on the head drum the medium is recorded on a video tape.

Then insert a videotape with video / audio information recorded on the deck and operate the playback key configured on the keypad of the videocassette recorder. The videotape is carried out via the head of the head drum configured inside the deck of the videocassette recorder. The video / audio information recorded on the readout is read and processed into an audio / video signal, and then output to a monitor or other output device connected to the output through the video / audio signal output of the video cassette recorder.

In particular, the recording and playback keys on the keypad are used to control the deck, including the head drum, at constant speed to record video / audio information on the videotape or to read video / audio information recorded on the videotape. When the fast reverse key is pressed, the Capston Motor is fast forward and reverse rotation to wind the video tape forward and backward. At this time, video / audio information is recorded or video tape is recorded on the fast forward / backward video tape. The operation of reading the video / audio information recorded on the video tape has not been performed, but as the technology develops, the operation of recording the video / audio information on the video tape at high speed or reading the video / audio information recorded on the video tape This became possible.

In addition, as the technology of home appliances including video cassette recorders develops, the operation of the video cassette recorder can be controlled by incorporating a microcomputer inside the video cassette recorder to remove the operation of the video cassette recorder from mechanical control. By programming, a number of functions such as a reservation playback function and a reservation recording function have been added, and thus the functions of the video cassette recorder have been diversified / advanced.
