Abstract
When the data supply rate from the data storing unit 11 drops and the amount of data remaining in the buffer memory 21 decreases, the calculation circuit 25 determines a data reproduction speed at which reproduction should be performed, dependently on the amount of data in the buffer memory 21. Accordingly, the video reading circuit 23 is controlled to retrieve video data from the buffer memory 21 at a reduced reproduction speed. The monitor 13 reproduces a slow motion pictures, which leads to an enhancement of the buffer memory.
