A CPU 290 of a recording/reproducing device 200 acquires automatic video
recording request information, and generates, based on EPG data
previously acquired, new automatic reservation information incorporating
basic video recording information with video recording start date and
time or video recording finish date and time for contents corresponding
to a keyword in the automatic video recording reservation request
information and priority information indicating that the priority is
"intermediate". When the CPU 290 determines that the video recording time
indicated by the reservation information corresponding to a manual video
recording reservation incorporated in a video recording reservation list
information and that for the new automatic reservation information
overlap each other, the CPU 290 deletes the reservation information
corresponding to the manual video recording reservation from the video
recording reservation list information, and incorporates the new
automatic reservation information as reservation information in the video
recording list information.
