In a video cassette tape recording and reproducing device including a reserved time detecting unit which periodically detects either coming of a reserved time or coming of a time slightly before the reserved time after a timer controlled video tape recording is reserved; the reserved time, information relating to TV channel and identification information inputted in response to a signal associated with the timer controlled video tape recording reservation are stored in a memory, the identification information is recorded at the head position of a cassette tape loaded in the video cassette tape recording and reproducing device, the reservation time detecting unit is started without turning off a power source switch in the video cassette tape recording and reproducing device, and the identification information recorded on the cassette tape is reproduced when the detection signal from the reservation time detecting unit is received and whether or not the reproduced identification information coincides with the identification information stored in the memory is detected, and when a coincidence detection signal is received based on the coincidence detection the reserved timer controlled video tape recording is initiated.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION An object of the present invention is to resolve such problems contained in the conventional art and to provide a VCR which permits reserving a timer controlled video tape recording without necessitating to turn off the power source.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a VCR which prevents during a timer controlled video tape recording from video tape recording on another cassette tape from which a reproduction is immediately before performed.
A VCR according to the present invention which achieves the above objects, is characterized in that, in the VCR including a reserved time detecting means which periodically detects either coming of a reserved time or coming of a time slightly before the reserved time after a timer controlled video tape recording is reserved, the reserved time, information relating to TV channel and identification information inputted in response to a signal associated with the timer controlled video tape recording reservation are stored in a memory, the identification information is recorded at the head position of a cassette tape loaded in the VCR, the reservation time detecting means is started without turning off a power source switch in the VCR, and the identification information recorded on the cassette tape is reproduced when the detection signal from the reservation time detecting means is received and whether or not the reproduced identification information coincides with the identification information stored in the memory is detected, and when a coincidence detection signal is received based on the coincidence detection the reserved timer controlled video tape recording is initiated.
As will be understood from the above, when the timer controlled video tape recording reservation is set, the reservation time detecting means which detects the reservation time is started without putting the power source into the OFF condition.
Thereby, the conventional fixed relation between the power source OFF and the timer controlled video tape recording reservation is separated
