A digital recording/reproducing apparatus, such as a DVD recorder, is capable of copying data between a non-volatile memory thereof and a disc at different rotating speeds. By asserting a speed-up signal to the control circuit for controlling the disc burner of the digital recording/reproducing apparatus via a command input device, the rotating speed of the disc burner can be accelerated so as to speed up the recordation of data. For example, a hot key on the control panel or remote controller can be triggered to assert the speed-up signal.
