SIGNAL RECORDING/REPRODUCING DEVICE CAPABLE OF CONSECUTIVELY RECORDING/REPRODUCING

摘要

PURPOSE: A signal recording/reproducing device is provided to include a supplementary storage medium to overcome limitations of a storage capacity of a main storage medium, and to consecutively reproduce data stored in the supplementary storage medium and data stored in the main storage medium, thereby recording the data consecutively and reproducing the data consecutively recorded on the supplementary storage medium automatically. CONSTITUTION: When remaining capacities of a main storage medium(222) are smaller than capacities of data to be recorded, a supplementary storage(230) stores the rest data to be recorded on a supplementary storage medium(232). A consecutive reproduction controller(240) decides whether to consecutively reproduce data stored in the main storage medium and the data stored in the supplementary medium, and controls a reproduction operation according to a decided result. The consecutive reproduction controller reads an index stored with data in a final data recording region of the main storage medium, and decides whether the read data is a portion of consecutive data, to control whether to consecutively reproduce the data stored in the supplementary storage medium during reproduction.
