INFORMATION SIGNAL RECORDING AND REPRODUCING DEVICE

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To regulate dubbing of digital information signals to analog information signals according to copy control information. SOLUTION: This device is composed of a digital reproducing means 1 for recording and reproducing the analog information signals as the digital information signals, analog recording and reproducing means 2 for recording and reproducing the analog information signals and control means 3 for controlling the recording and reproducing operation of digital reproducing means 1 and analog recording and reproducing means 2 and when the copy control information written at the prescribed position of a digital signal format is read out at the recording time of a digital information signals and the provided copy control information expresses the inhibition of copying, the digital reproducing means 1 interposes the copy control information and performs control so as not to execute the recording operation of analog recording and reproducing means 2 when converting the reproduced digital information signals to the analog information signals and outputting them at least.
