Abstract
An information recording/reproducing apparatus has a controller for setting the apparatus in a ready state in which at least one of information reproduction, information recording and information erasure can be effected after a recording medium is loaded, in the case where an external request has been detected within a predetermined time period. The controller sets the apparatus in a non-ready state after a recording medium is loaded, in the case where an external request has not been detected within a predetermined time period.
