Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To record a program from its beginning on a data recording medium (tape cassette, etc.), even if a user performs recording operation after the program starts. SOLUTION: At the start time of a program A, program data of the program A begins to be recorded on a hard disk by referring to EPG information of the program A (ST4, ST5). If the user performs video-recording operation in a certain time, e.g. 5 minutes after the start time of the program A, the recording contents beings to be moved from the hard disk to a tape cassette (ST6 to ST8). Consequently, even if the video-recording operation is performed after the program A starts, the program data of the program A can be recorded from its beginning on the tape cassette. When a certain time passes after the start time of the program A, it is determined that the user does not intend to record the program A from the beginning, the recording of the program data of the program A to the hard disk is stopped, and the program data of the program A which have been recorded on the hard disk are erased (ST9).
