Abstract: When a recording programming time is reached, a recording device of the present invention determines whether or not an automatic conversion setting is previously made on an item of content to be recorded. If the automatic conversion setting is made, a recording processing portion (11a) records, in a DR mode, the content programmed to be recorded. Then, the format conversion portion (11b) is instructed to perform format conversion according to the number of times and a format specified in the automatic conversion setting. The format conversion portion receiving this instruction performs the format conversion according to the number of times and the format specified in the automatic conversion setting, and records post-conversion content in a specified record destination.

Abstract: A broadcast reception apparatus includes a receiving portion receiving a broadcast signal, an automatic channel-addition portion additionally registering a receivable channel automatically, an input portion accepting instructions from a user, and a channel-registration canceling portion for canceling the registration of a channel, so commanded from the input portion, to be canceled as a receivable channel and for storing in a memory portion its channel information as the information of a canceled channel. When the same channel information as that of the unregistered channel is in the channel information stored in the memory portion, the automatic channel-addition portion does not register the unregistered channel as a receivable channel.

Abstract: A control unit determines whether a flag for instructing execution of finalize process is set. In the case where dubbing is automatically stopped under any of the conditions “no signal in predetermined period,” “TAPE-END” and “DISC-FULL,” the flag for instructing execution of finalize process is set and thus the control unit executes finalize process. In contrast, in the case where the flag for instructing execution of finalize process is not set due to the fact for example that the user manually stops the dubbing by means of an operation unit, the whole process is ended without execution of finalize process. Accordingly, it is unnecessary for the user to manually perform finalize process while checking a monitor at the spot. Thus, a recording and reproducing apparatus improving the convenience for the user in dubbing from a magnetic tape to a disc medium can be provided.
