An audio/video distribution system for a multiple dwelling unit provides programming which is selectable by a subscriber through the interactive use of on-screen menus. Programming and services are supplied from a headend (12) over a distribution network (20) to individual apartments, which network includes an interdiction field unit (28) associated with each of a group of apartments. The interdiction field unit normally interdicts those channels capable of carrying VOD movies, interactive games, and interactive services. When a subscriber wishes to order a selection through interactive on-screen menus provided from the headend to the apartment, the headend instructs the interdiction field unit associated with the subscriber's apartment to de-interdict a channel. Selections made through a remote control to a subscriber terminal in the apartment are supplied to the headend over the distribution system. The channel remains deinterdicted during play of a selection, based upon the signals received from the subscriber terminal during the interactive on-screen menu session.

An image recording apparatus for controlling an image recording operation on the basis of a detected width of a recording medium by a paper width detecting means after the recording medium is fed to a predetermined position on a platen. Whether the recording medium is desirably conveyed or not is determined on the basis of a signal obtained by said paper width detecting means.

Image recording apparatus with improved conveying system for recording medium

The present invention provides an excellent image-holding member, comprising an electroconductive support, a resin layer formed on the support, and an interlayer provided between the support and the resin layer, said interlayer containing a reaction product of an acetal resin and an organometallic complex compound.
