Abstract
A recording device, which receives record instructions directly from a user, enables the user to give a variety of record instructions without being restricted by the recording capability of the recording device. The recording device judges whether a processing content specified in a record instruction received from the user is executable internally (step S), and if judged in the negative, selects an external device capable of executing the record instruction, based pre-collected information relating to the recording capability of one or more external devices (step S) and forwards the record instruction to the selected device (step S).
