PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize constant time recording (loop recording) which is not bound by reservation limit number and such, which has a separate title for each broadcast program, and there is no unfinished end of a recorded program.SOLUTION: Since, by automatic reservation processing, each broadcast program is individually reserved for recording by automatic recording reservation, a title is separated for each broadcast program in a recorded state. By switching a recording system (recording processing unit) by a reservation registration confirmation processing, there is also no unfinished end of the recorded program or cutting of the head. Furthermore, by automatically adjusting the time of the automatic reservation processing until the number of broadcast programs that falls within a range of a reservation registration upper limit is reached, it is not bound by the reservation limit number and such.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6
