[0004]   Then, the recording information is displayed as a recording list on the television or the monitor. At this time, the recording start time is recorded in seconds by a timer that measures the current time. It is recorded on the medium, but when displayed, AM / PM is displayed in minutes. Ie , The number of seconds in the recording start time is truncated.

[0005]   For example, in the case of manual recording, when recording starts at 7:00:50 PM, This time is recorded as information. On the other hand, the recording list shows 7:00 PM. Shown. For timer recording, set the recording start time to 7:00 PM. In consideration of the startup time (preparation time) of digital equipment such as a microcomputer, The recording at this time is started several seconds before the set time, for example, about 5 seconds before. for that reason The recording start time recorded will be 6:59:55 PM, and the recording start will be displayed. The time will be 6:59 PM.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]   In the case of manual recording as described above, the actual recording start time is 7:00:50 PM. At one time, the number of seconds is rounded down and the recording start time is displayed as 7:00 PM Therefore, there is a difference of about 1 minute between the recorded recording start time and the displayed recording start time. Jijiru Therefore, when you watch the display and play the program, the beginning of the program is cut off and played. This makes the user uncomfortable expecting to see the program from the beginning.

[0007]   Also, in the case of timer recording, the recording start time is set even if recording reservation is made at 7:00 PM. Is displayed at 6:59 PM. It is different from the booked time, so the user feels uncomfortable I have a feeling of distrust about whether I remembered or made a mistake.

[0008]   In view of the above, the present invention provides a recording start time recorded and a recording start time displayed. It is to provide a recording device that eliminates the contradiction of To aim.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

  The problem solving means according to the present invention is a recording means for recording a recording start time in seconds. The display means for displaying the recording start time in minutes and the number of seconds of the recorded recording start time If it is more than a predetermined second, advance the recording start time to be displayed by 1 minute, and if it is less than the predetermined second, start recording. And a correction means for keeping the start time as it is.

[0010]   As a result, the recording start time is reduced compared to the case where the number of seconds is truncated and displayed. The difference between the recorded recording start time and the displayed recording start time should be minimized. You can Therefore, looking at the display of the recording start time, the beginning of the program is cut off. Can be easily determined that there is a possibility that It is possible to prevent the user from thinking that it is being displayed, and the display is easy for the user to understand.

[0011]   In timer recording, the recording start time is set in minutes and the set recording Recording starts a few seconds before the start time. Therefore, the number of seconds to start recording before time If the predetermined seconds for correction are set smaller than the above, the displayed recording start time will be set. It will be the same as the specified recording start time.

[0012]   The predetermined second for correction can be arbitrarily set between 30 seconds and 59 seconds. Thirty If it is less than 2 seconds, the part recorded before the displayed recording start time is 30 seconds or more It becomes too long, and it makes the user frustrated if the program does not start easily. U Therefore, it is preferable that the predetermined second is 30 seconds or more.
