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

摘要

A digital recording/reproducing apparatus including a first data storage medium (150) with a timeshift function; and a controller, which records received compressed data on both the first data storage medium (150) and a second data storage medium (200) without a timeshift function if a recording command that requires data to be recorded on the second data storage medium (200) is received, and reads data recorded on the first data storage medium (150) 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. <IMAGE>
