<p>A DVD recorder includes a control portion (10) operating in response to a signal received from a monitor portion (5) of a hard disk device (1) and indicating how many times writing a data signal is retried. If the current retry count is at least a predetermined number of times (N) the control portion (10) turns on a cooling fan device (9). If the current retry count is smaller than the predetermined number of times (N) the control portion (10) turns off the cooling fan device (9). As a signal output from the hard disk device (1) can be utilized to control the cooling fan device (9), the apparatus can be less costly than that provided with a separate, dedicated temperature sensor, as conventional.</p> |
