Method further includes activating the reproducing/recording device using the device identifier (102); and selecting contents to be reproduced/recorded using the contents identifier and reproducing/recording the contents. In addition, the method further includes: receiving a device activation command that contains the device identifier (102); and receiving a contents reproducing/recording command that contains the contents identifier.
