<p>Although a scheduled recording that is set by an EPG (Electronic Program Guide) specifies in advance a time slot for using the resource, reproduction that is set by the EPG does not specify a time slot for using the resource. Therefore, although it is possible to carry out resource allocations for a plurality of scheduled recordings in advance, it is not possible to carry out a resource adjustment in advance when the scheduled recording and the reproduction operation use the same resource. However, when an adjustment process is performed after the starting time of the scheduled recording, the adjustment process itself takes up some time, thus giving rise to the possibility that the scheduled recording may not start at the specified starting time. The resource adjustment for the scheduled recording and the reproduction is initiated ahead of the starting time of the scheduled recording. The amount of time ahead of the scheduled recording, by which the resource adjustment is to be started, can be specified by the EPG.</p> |
