PURPOSE: To easily know a program recorded on a video cassette and easily reproduce a desired program or recording in a proper video cassette.

CONSTITUTION: A CPU 11 records identification information for identifying a video cassette on a magnetic tape when performing recording and stores recorded information indicating the recorded content, for example, still image data, etc., of a program scene in memories 13 and 14. And, for example, at the time of performing reproducing, the CPU 11 reads the still image data of each program from the memories 13 and 14 and a digital signal processing circuit 15 converts the still image data of each program into an analog signal as a multi screen and then outputs it to a television receiver via an analog signal processing circuit 23 and an output terminal 33, thus displaying each scene of a plurality of programs recorded at a plurality of video cassettes on a television receiver.
