A holding unit holds video signals decoded by the signal decoding unit . A control unit performs control of the entire apparatus and also performs control for address management and data transfer of the disc-shaped recording medium so that, if the apparatus is set to a mode of performing a playback operation while the recording operation is going on, the storage means stores plural fields of the video signals and the holding unit interpolates the video signals.
