  When the process of step S21 is completed, when it is determined in step S15 that the time measured by the clock unit 11 has passed the predetermined time (step S15: YES), or the video signal of the video whose recording has been started in step S16 Is determined to be output to the outside (step S16: YES), the control unit 9 determines whether another recording start signal has been received (step S22).

  If it is determined that another recording start signal has been received (step S22: YES), the controller 9 returns the process to step S11.

  When it is determined that the recording start signal is not received (step S22: NO), the control unit 9 determines whether a recording end signal is received (step S23).

  When it is determined that the recording end signal has not been received (step S23: NO), the control unit 9 returns the process to step S14.

  When it is determined that the recording end signal has been received (step S23: YES), the control unit 9 determines whether or not all recording of the reserved program has been completed based on the information of the reservation management unit 19. (Step S24).

If it is determined that all recording has been completed (step S24: YES), the control unit 9 ends the process.
When it is determined that all the recordings are not finished (step S24: NO), the control unit 9 returns the process to step S14.
