Abstract
An electronic apparatus is provided with a media reader for accessing a removable recording medium and performs initial processes for ensuring proper access to the recording medium. A memory retains its content even when the supply of power to the media reader is discontinued. The result of the initial processes is stored in the memory when the supply of power to the media reader is discontinued. When the supply of power to the media reader is resumed, the media reader accesses the recording medium by using the result of the initial processes held in the memory.
