摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable the recorded digital contents to be easily retrieved. SOLUTION: When a request for retrieving digital contents such as broadcast programs recorded in a recording unit 5 is made through a control unit 11, information such as an electronic program table accompanying the digital contents is read out from a recording unit 5 and fed to an image signal generating unit 6. The image signal generating unit 6 enables the information such as an electronic program table to undergo encoding, the encoded information is supplied to a monitor 8, and the information such as an electronic program table is displayed on the lower part of the display screen of the monitor as it is scrolled and used for retrieval or the like.
