The invention provides a recording and playing apparatus capable of recording data via timer recording, having a simplified power control setting operation at the end time of timer recording, thereby enabling to provide an apparatus having superior power-saving feature and improved operability. When the user manipulates the recording and playing apparatus during timer recording operation, the manipulation is recorded, and at the end of timer recording, the power is automatically maintained on, or power off process is not performed, if manipulation is performed during timer recording operation. If no manipulation is performed, a screen for accepting instructions from the user to maintain the power on state is displayed, and the power is turned off if there is no instruction received within a given period of time. Thus, the manipulation for setting the power control of the apparatus at the end time of the timer recording operation is simplified.
