PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a recording and reproducing device that can record signals for a long time and quickly conduct random access. SOLUTION: An HDD section 3 records a compression signal resulting from applying compression encoding to a program signal. The hard disk of the HDD section 3 has a storage capacity of recording at least a plurality of programs and records a new program while deleting programs having viewed and not delete protect on the hard disk through overwriting when the idle area cannot sufficiently be reserved. Furthermore, when the area above is not available, while a VCR section 4 records the viewed program, a new program is recorded on the hard disk. The bit rate is suppressed in the case off recording the viewed program by the VCR section 4.
