In step 06, the content read in step 300 is replaced with the original content read in step 302, and then step 308 is performed.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step 304 that the contents match (if the determination is affirmative), the process proceeds to step 308 without performing the processing in step 306.

In step 308, the hard disk 26
It is determined whether or not there is another content in the content area. If there is another content (in the case of an affirmative determination), the process returns to step 300, and the processes of steps 300 to 306 are repeated and executed again. When there is no other content (when the determination in step 308 is negative), the content update processing program KPG ends.
