Recording/reproduction apparatus and recording device

摘要

A recording/reproduction apparatus according to the present invention issues a vendor command to a recording device (104) being loaded therein when reading or writing data from/into the recording device (104), and updates last access information that is recorded on a disc (303) in the recording device (104). Further, when the recording device is loaded into a recording/reproduction apparatus other than a dedicated recording/reproduction apparatus that is capable of updating the last access information recorded on the disc (303), the recording device (104) clears the last access information by itself. The recording/reproduction apparatus that is constructed as described above can recognize whether the presently loaded recording device was accessed last time by a recording/reproduction apparatus other than the dedicated recording/reproduction apparatus.
