Recording and playback apparatus

摘要

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.
