Abstract
A dubbing apparatus for inhibiting high-speed dubbing for a predetermined time period if, at a time of high-speed dubbing of a program from a first storage medium onto a second storage medium, the first storage medium is found to have been subjected to high-speed dubbing earlier by another predetermined time period. The apparatus is arranged to indicate that high-speed dubbing is being inhibited while displaying a waiting time to be observed before high-speed dubbing is again permitted.
