ABSTRACT:
A combination including a recording arrangement and a source selection arrangement. The recording arrangement includes at least two different inputs for receiving different types of signals (e.g., analog, digital and/or optical); a recording unit for recording a digital signal on the record carrier; and a switching unit for coupling one of the inputs to the recording unit. (If the input coupled to the recording unit does receive a digital signal, then recording arrangement includes a conversion device for converting that signal to digital form.) The source selection arrangement includes at least two different outputs for supplying different types of signals (e.g., analog, digital and/or optical) to corresponding inputs of the recording arrangement; and a source selection unit for selecting between different signal sources and thereby enabling the signal source selected to supply a signal to one of the outputs. The combination further includes a user actuatable input unit for enabling a user to select a source, and a selection signal generator unit for generating a selection control signal which controls the selection operation of the source selection in response to the source selected by the user. The selection signal generator includes a memory which stores information relating to the source selected by the user and indicating to which input of the inputs of the recording arrangement the signal supplied by the signal source selected is supplied, and supplies a switching control signal to the switching unit to control to which input of the inputs of recording arrangement it is coupled.
