Abstract
A microcomputer selects one of a plurality of drive units, and controls the selected drive unit to reproduce image data from a video disk located thereon. When a reproduction error occurs in the thus reproducing drive unit, the microcomputer selects another drive unit, and controls the drive unit to reproduce images. Accordingly, it is possible to always provide accurate images.
