Abstract: A control CPU (79) monitors the input from an optical digital input interface (72) to check that the optical digital input interface (72) is connected with an optical cable. The CPU (79) checks for an ACK signal in an IEEE1394 interface (71) to determine whether the IEEE1394 interface is connected with another device. The data input from IEEE1394 interface (71) is preferentially stored in a disk (76) according to the result of determination.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To execute suitable reproducing processing in accordance with whether a digital broadcasting receiver connected with a recording/reproducing device corresponds to a multi-program recording system in the receiving and recording/ reproducing system of digital broadcasting which records/reproduces a transport stream from a digital broadcasting receiver by the recording/reproducing device. SOLUTION: It is judged, for example, whether a digital broadcasting receiver connected to a recording/reproducing device corresponds to a multi-program recording system. In the case of corresponding to the multi-program recording system, a recording medium is reproduced as it is to output a transport stream recorded in a recording medium to an IRD. In the case of not corresponding to the multi-program recording system and reproducing the recording medium recorded in the multi-program system, a user selects a desired program and the transport stream of only the selected program is transmitted to the IRD through an IEEE 1394.
