Recording/reproduction apparatus, information processing system including the same apparatus, and method of initializing a recording medium in the apparatus

摘要

A recording/reproduction apparatus (1) includes a magnetic disk. An information apparatus (2) sets an instruction to initialize the magnetic disk and transmits the set instruction to the recording/reproduction apparatus (1) through a network. The recording/reproduction apparatus (1) receives the instruction from the information apparatus (2) through the network (3) and initializes the recording medium (14) in accordance with the instruction. Thus, a user can finely initializes the recording medium (14) of the recording/reproduction apparatus (1) from remote locations.
