Abstract
An apparatus for reproducing an audio signal recorded on a recording medium is arranged to store the audio signal reproduced from the recording medium; and to compute and process the stored audio signal and an audio signal which is repeatedly reproduced from the recording medium. The arrangement enables the apparatus to suppress a noise component generated while the audio signal is reproduced, so that the S/N ratio of the reproduced audio signal can be improved.
