Abstract
A storing/reproducing device includes a storing controller that recognizes programming information read out from timer recording list information and the data size of a content corresponding to the programming information, and compares the data size with free spaces of an automatic recording areaand a manual recording areaboth forming a content recording area, the free spaces being recognized by a storing area manager. When the content is recorded based on the programming information set with input operation by a user, the storing controller records the content in the automatic recording areaif the storing controller judges that there is not enough free space in the manual recording area. Accordingly, other pieces of information will not be recorded in the manual recording area, thereby securing free space in the manual recording area. Therefore, manual recording with the input operation by the user can surely be performed.
