DEFINITION

Classification: 369/30

Selective addressing or storage medium (e.g., programmed access, "juke box"):

(under subclass 24) Subject matter wherein the control function includes storage on or retrieval from a designated storage medium element or portion thereof.

(1) Note. The term "random access" is sometimes used for such device. However, such usage should be carefully distinguished from random selection or indexing which is classified in subclasses 66 and 98, and refers to selection absent prior designation.

(2) Note. Positive recitation of steps or apparatus for designation is necessary for classification herein.

57, for manual tone arm positioning adjuncts.

178, for selection of storage medium absent designation.
