ABSTRACT:

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a playback apparatus.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Berlin RCM303-A car radio equipped with a 10-disc CD changer is described in from the Blaupunkt catalog “Mobile Audio Systeme '95/'96” (Mobile Audio Systems '95/'96). This car radio is equipped with a disc naming function with which any desired name can be assigned to a compact disc being played at that moment. This name will then appear in the display each time that compact disc is played.
SUMMARY
The playback apparatus according to the present invention, has the advantage that names of recording media that are not being played at that moment and that have not even been placed in the playback apparatus once can in this way also be displayed on the display device. This yields greater convenience and straightforward operation while also simplifying operation, because each memory location entry can be observed at any time.
It is especially advantageous that contents from the memory unit displayed on the display device can be revised for storage or deleted by using the input unit. In this way it is possible to revise or delete entries to the memory without the recording medium having to be present in the playback apparatus. This greatly simplifies operation of the playback apparatus and saves time because the corresponding recording medium need not be inserted into the playback apparatus to revise the contents of the memory.
It is also advantageous that the type of display of a name on the display device is based on the storage and/or the status of a recording medium assigned to that name in the playback apparatus. In this way the user's information can be improved in a simple and straightforward manner.
It is also advantageous that the memory access unit includes at least one operating element on the input unit, and that by operating the minimum of one operating element, a selection of a memory location of the memory unit can be implemented. This makes it especially simple and straightforward for the user to select a memory location and furthermore it requires very little time.
