  • Patent number: 6920278
    Abstract: A recording/reproduction apparatus and a recording/reproduction method are adapted to information on the recording area of a recording medium without intervention of the operator if the recording medium is short of capacity necessary for recording the information to be recorded. If information not recorded on a magnetic tape is supplied to DTR 9 and central control section 2 determines that the magnetic tape does not have a recording capacity sufficient for recording the information, the central control section 2 causes the DTR 9 to record said information not recorded on the magnetic tape in the storage area of the magnetic tape storing one or more than one pieces of information with the oldest time and date of recording.
