RECORDING AND REPRODUCING APPARATUS, AV DATA MANAGING METHOD, AND SERVER

摘要

A recorder/reproducer (10) comprising an external device I/F (12) for connecting an external recording medium (16) where contents including AV data or an application program are recorded, a recorder (20) for recording a content read in from the external recording medium (16), and a processing section (11) for reproducing or executing the recorded content. The processing section (11) imposes a different access limitation to an arbitrary content reproducable or executable by the recorder/reproducer (10) depending on the install processing, load processing and content execution processing, and limits the access to the content in the content execution processing depending on the reliability of the content.
