Recording and reproducing apparatus and recording and reproducing method
First Claim
1. A recording and reproducing apparatus comprising:
- a communication section which acquires content information from an external device via a network;
a recording section which records in a storage region the content information acquired from the communication section; and
a control section which, after it has been detected that the content information stored in the recording section cannot be read out, when it is determined that the content information cannot be reacquired from the external device due to an occurrence of a failure with a function of the communication section or recording section, controls a command signal for causing a terminal device over a network to substitute acquisition of the content information so as to be transmitted to the terminal device via the communication section.
