Abstract: Gain setting can be performed at high speed while reducing DC offset due to a filter cutoff frequency changeover without the need for input signal muting. A filter circuit having first and second filters is capable of allowing settings of first and second cutoff frequencies. First and second filter switch circuits and a charging circuit including a charging resistor and a charging switch are provided. For a first time period, the first switch circuit is controllably turned on while the second switch circuit is controllably turned off, thereby providing the first filter function. For a second time period, the first switch circuit is controllably turned off while the second switch circuit is controllably turned on, thereby providing the second filter function. For the first time period, the charging switch is controllably turned on so that the second capacitor is charged via the charging resistor.

The broadcast recording unit sets the attribute related to erasure to a value indicating allowance of erasure, when recording the broadcast content to the recording medium.

Abstract: In a service of downloading contents whose contract is to be automatically renewed, an establishing of a synchronization between information about a period stored on the side of a terminal and information about a period to be renewed on the side of a server, causes a problem of load increase and others because a large amount of contents have to be synchronized at frequent intervals. In consideration thereof, a method for contents viewing permission takes two types of automatic renewal and non-automatic renewal, and the type is described in a meta data transmitted to the terminal at the time of DL registration. In accordance with the meta data, when the type is of the automatic renewal, even if the license is already expired, the terminal makes a display of “automatic renewal” on a listing-display screen of an information display section with no conditions, at a point in time before a command comes from a user for playback and before the license is renewed in response thereto.

The display data creating unit creates the data of list image so that a list image displayed when the recording unit is downloading additional information is different from a list image displayed when the recording unit is downloading the content.

Abstract: A recording and playback apparatus can continue the playback of a content with playback time limit, even after the playback time limit expires during the playback of the content, and does not play back the content even though an instruction receiver receives a playback instruction when the playback of the content is stopped after the playback time limit of the content expires during the playback of the content with the playback time limit. The recording and playback apparatus outputs the warning information, when the instruction receiver receives the stop instruction after the playback time limit of the content expires during the playback of the content.
