The present invention makes it possible to carry and use the user's favorite, up-to-date information without having to perform any complicated procedure. A portable information terminal can receive, via a parent apparatus interface, content data that is extracted from a HDD in accordance with a control operation performed by a hard disk recording apparatus and transferred via a child apparatus interface, record the received content data in a memory, and reproduce the recorded content data for use. In accordance with the information contained in a preference database and broadcast schedule, the hard disk recording apparatus controls a tuner section to select a user's favorite broadcast program, and records the selected broadcast program on a recording medium. In accordance with reproduction data that is supplied from the portable information terminal, a control section updates tuning instruction information that is stored in the preference database.
