ABSTRACT:
A device and method to output recorded program schedule information as a voice message in a programmed recording system using transmitted schedule data. The device includes a video reproducing portion for playing back a tape which stores a video signal having the schedule data and outputting a composite video signal, a schedule data processing portion for separating the schedule data from the video signal output from the video reproducing portion and decoding the separated data, a conversion portion for converting the separated schedule data into a voice signal, a speaker for outputting the voice signal, and a microcomputer controller for controlling the schedule data processing portion and the voice combining portion. The method includes the steps of positioning a tape at a starting position; sensing a video index search system (VISS) signal recorded on the tape, reproducing a video signal recorded on the tape at normal speed when the VISS signal is sensed, separating the schedule data from the reproduced video signal and extracting the schedule data, and converting and outputting the extracted schedule data as a voice message. Accordingly, a user can easily confirm recording information such as the title of a program, the broadcast station identification (ID) of the program, the recording date and time.
