Abstract
When a content title recorded on a storage medium is automatically deleted to secure a space for recording an additional title, deletion of the title can occur contrary to user's intention. Storage schedules for recorded content titles, especially the storage schedules concerning operations for the content titles are initialized, and a content title set to have no storage schedule is preferentially automatically deleted. Thus, the recorded content is not deleted contrary to the user's intention.

A recording interruption preventing device, comprising:
- digital large capacity storage means;
- means for recording a content title on the digital large capacity storage means;
- user operation means for performing a user operation to the recorded content title;
