Abstract
Abstract A high speed dubbing device (10) by which digital data recorded on an optical disc (15) are dubbed onto a hard disc (16) at a high speed is connected to an accounting device (20) through a public telephone line. A control unit (13) orders a basic data generating unit (13B) to generate basic data for accounting from data representing the speed at which at least user identification data and data read out of the optical disc (15) are recorded on the hard disc (16) and to transmit the generated basic data to the accounting device (20). The accounting device (20) carries out the accounting in accordance with the basic data and transmits data representing the end of the accounting to the control unit (13). The control unit (13) controls the dubbing device (19) in accordance with the data transmitted from the accounting device (20) and orders the dubbing device (19) to start recording data read out of the optical disc (15) on the hard disc (16).
