Abstract

A reproduction part reproduced at a changeable speed ratio r. An A/D conversion part A/D converts, based on sampling frequency f , an audio signal reproduced at a speed different from that upon recording. A block data division part divides audio data based on an attribute possessed by the audio data. An audio data connection part successively interpolates or thins out the divided audio data based on a ratio of 1/r. A D/A conversion part D/A converts the interpolated or thinned-out audio data based on sampling frequency f . If a relation of f /f =r/c is satisfied, the audio signal is outputted as a sound of high quality constantly synchronized with an image signal and having a pitch which does not change irrespective of the changeable speed ratio r at which the image signal is reproduced.
