a reproduction information transmitting section operable to transmit to the second recording/reproduction device reproduction information indicating a second point in time where reproduction of the data was stopped in the first recording/reproduction device, the second point in time being after the first point in time; and
a data transmitting section operable to, after the device recording information is transmitted, transmit to the second recording/reproduction device data which is recorded for a predetermined time from a beginning of the recording, andthe second recording/reproduction device comprising;
a second recording device for recording data based on the first point included in the device recording information transmitted from the first recording/reproduction device;
a reproduction starting section operable to start reproduction in the second recording/reproduction device from the second point indicated by the device reproduction information from the first recording/reproduction device; and
a data receiving/recording section operable to record the data transmitted from the data transmitting section so that the data is continuously linked to the data which has already been recorded in the second recording/reproduction device.

Abstract
An in-vehicle recording/reproduction device (121) records in a recording device a program which the user starts watching, and reads and reproduces the data when watching is permitted, such as, for example, when a vehicle is stopped. The in-vehicle recording/reproduction device (121) transmits recording information about recording, such as a program, a time, and the like, to an in-home recording/reproduction device (303). The in-home recording/reproduction device (303) records the same program as that recorded by the in-vehicle recording/reproduction device (121) based on the recording information. The in-vehicle recording/reproduction device (121) transmits to the in-home recording/reproduction device (303) reproduction information indicating which scene was last reproduced in the in-vehicle recording/reproduction device (121). The in-home recording/reproduction device (303) performs reproduction based on the reproduction information. Thereby, it is possible to watch the rest of the program which was watched in the vehicle, at home without missing a scene.
