Abstract
A reproducing apparatus is arranged to reproduce main data from a recording medium and to reproduce subdata related to the main data and recorded on a first area and a second area of the recording medium. When subdata having the same value has been detected from the first area n times (n being an integer not less than 2), or when subdata having the same value has been detected from the second area m times (m being an integer not less than 2), the reproducing apparatus determines the value of the detected subdata.
