Recording medium reproducing apparatus
View Patent ↗In a recording medium reproducing apparatus that can reproduce a recording medium such as a CD-R or CD-RW recording therein compressed audio data, a track number of three or more digits can be indicated using an existing display portion that is designed to indicate a track number in two digits. For this, the apparatus determines whether digital audio data to be reproduced is compressed audio data, and when it is determined to be the compressed audio data, the apparatus indicates a track number of the reproducing compressed audio data in a track number display area and a minute display area, a value of minute of a reproduction time of the compressed audio data in a second display area, and a value of second of the reproduction time of the compressed audio data in a frame display area.
1. A recording medium reproducing apparatus having a reproducing portion for reproducing compressed audio data and non-compressed audio data recorded in recording media, said recording medium reproducing apparatus comprising:
a display portion comprising a track number display area for indicating a track number of the non-compressed audio data, a minute display area for indicating a value of minute of a reproduction time of the non-compressed audio data, a second display area for indicating a value of second of the reproduction time of the non-compressed audio data, and a frame display area for indicating a value of frame of the non-compressed audio data; and
a discriminating portion for determining whether audio data reproduced by said reproducing portion is the compressed audio data or the non-compressed audio data,
wherein when said discriminating portion determines that the audio data is the compressed audio data, said display portion indicates the track number of the compressed audio data in said track number display area and said minute display area, the value of minute of a reproduction time of the compressed audio data in said second display area, and the value of second of the reproduction time of the compressed audio data in said frame display area.
2. The recording medium reproducing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein when said discriminating portion determines that the audio data is the compressed audio data, said display portion displays an indication representing that the audio data being reproduced by said reproducing portion is the compressed audio data.
