  • Publication number: 20040240852
    Abstract: In a case where a recording area of a disc is insufficient to record data thereon, a list is displayed of respective program titles of program data files on the recording area that have been deleted by being designated as non-reproducible. The user sees the displayed list and externally operates to select a desired file. The selected program data file is erased from the recording area of the disc so that a recordable area is secured. The user may externally input an instruction to cancel the designation of the deleted program data file as non-reproducible and thereby restore the data file to its original reproducible state. The restoring is accomplished by the mere cancellation of the designation and thus accompanied by no movement of files on the recording area.
