Digital recording/reproducing apparatus with a timeshift function, and method therefor

摘要

A digital recording/reproducing apparatus including a first data storage medium with a timeshift function; and a controller, which records received compressed data on both the first data storage medium and a second data storage medium without a timeshift function if a recording command that requires data to be recorded on the second data storage medium is received, and reads data recorded on the first data storage medium for data reproduction if a reproduction command for data being recorded is received. Therefore, it is possible to include a timeshift function to reproduce recorded data and to output the reproduced data to a user while recording data according to the user's command, even when the digital recording/reproducing apparatus records data on a data storage medium without the timeshift function.
