Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the miniaturization and lightening of a main body and an operability to connect an adapter to the main body by separating a reproducing circuit provided at a camera integral VTR from a main body and constituting it in a single body with an AC adapter. CONSTITUTION:At the time of recording, a battery is loaded to a loading part 2 of a camera integral VTR main body 1 and a DC power source is supplied. At this time, since a reproducing circuit is built in the main body 1, the main body 1 is miniaturize and lightened. At the time of reproduction, a reproducing- power source adapter 5 is loaded to the loading part 2, a power source cord is connected to an AC power source, and the DC power source is supplied through an AC/DC converter and a contact 6 to the main body 1. In this case, compared with the case when two reproducing circuit adapter and AC adapter are connected to the main body 1, a connecting part is reduced, and therefore, the connecting operability is improved.

続部が減少するので接続操作性が向上する。At this time, the main body 1 has no built-in reproducing circuit, so the main body 1 is small and lightweight. At the time of reproduction, if the reproduction-power adapter 5 is attached to the attachment part 2 and the power cord 10 is connected to an AC power source, a DCN source is supplied to the main body 1 via the AC/DC converter and the contacts 6. The input/output signal is then sent to an external device such as a monitor via the connector 8, a reproduction circuit (not shown), and the input/output jack 9, and is reproduced. In the case of dubbing editing, etc., the same procedure is performed by connecting the input/output jack 9 to another VTR deck. In this case, as in the conventional example, the reproduction circuit adapter and the
Compared to the case where two parts including the C adapter are connected to the main body 1, the number of connecting parts is reduced, so the connection operability is improved.
