When a face image can not detected by an individual authentication unit from an image photographed by a camera unit for a predetermined time or more, a control unit records a recording position of a corresponding time, and makes a receiving program continuously recorded by a recording reproducing unit in a common recording state in which a time shift function becomes invalid such that the face image is detected again by the individual authentication unit from the image photographed from the camera unit. When it is determined that a detected person is the same person as a first person based on a recognition result on the basis of features of the face image, the control unit makes a recorded program return to the recorded position so as to be reproduced while maintaining the common recording state.
