Abstract
An information recording apparatus such as a CD player successively plays back portions of pieces of information, such as musical information, recorded in respective information storage mediums, such as CDs, over a predetermined period of time in a disc highlight scanning mode, and also successively plays back portions of the pieces of information recorded in any one of the information storage mediums in a track highlight scanning mode. The information recording apparatus has a system controller for selecting one, at a time, of the disc and track highlight scanning modes in response to a signal from a scan key of an input keyboard. Specifically, the system controller selects the disc highlight scanning mode in response to a signal from the scan key, and thereafter selects the track highlight scanning mode in response to another signal from the scan key.
