To provide a recording and reproducing apparatus capable of recording data infallibly without being dependent on the copyright protection information. A recording format selected during timer recording operation of a broadcast program by the DVD recording/reproducing unit 5 is compared with a copyright protection information detected by a copyright protection information detecting means 8 b, and it is determined whether the selected recording format is suitable for recording the broadcast program, wherein if it is determined that the format is not suitable, the recording format is changed compulsorily to the suitable recording format. Further, if data already exists in the DVD being set, the data is copied to the HDD recording/reproducing unit 6 and the DVD is initialized before recording data, so that the space for recording the broadcast program designated by the user can be ensured.
