A recording apparatus having a recording means 20 for recording in a recording medium 21 having a predetermined recording area in a plurality of recording modes specified by an amount of recorded information per unit area of the recording medium 21, and records a broadcast signal. A program guide reading unit 12 reads program data from the broadcast signal a1 received by a receiving means 11. A data comparison unit 14 compares the reservation data c1 stored in a reserved program data storage unit 13 with a program data relating to the reserved program transmitted from a broadcasting station, and changes the reservation data c1 of the reserved program data storage unit 13 based on the program data being received when the comparison result indicates difference. A recording mode control unit 16 compares the remaining broadcast time of the reserved program computed based on the time information d1 in the reservation data of the reserved program data storage unit 13 with the remaining recording time e1 of the recording medium (magnetic tape, disk, etc.) detected by a remainder detecting unit 15, and changes the recording mode of the recording means 20 such that the reserved program can be completely recorded within the remaining recording time (recordable area) e1, or such that the highest level read signal can be obtained when the reserved program is completely recorded and then played back. <IMAGE> |
