Abstract
Special reproduction data from a special reproduction data generating circuit is applied to a special reproduction data arranging circuit. A frame-change flag that changes for unit of frame and a positional sequence signal that is initialized by the frame-change flag and is incremented in unit of special data of a special reproduction data position are supplied to the special reproduction data arranging circuit. The special reproduction data arranging circuit arranges dummy data instead of the next frame data on the subsequent special reproduction data positions when a frame is changed so that a positional sequence signal is not initialized more than twice in one repetitive recording area. Thus, it becomes possible to rearrange data using a positional sequence signal in the reproduction.
