Abstract
A playback apparatus includes a data source () that provides a data stream signal (d), and a device () responsive to the data stream signal. The device forms a first data stream (d) in a first data format (F), wherein the first data stream (d) includes a data field (D) that is encoded in a second data format (F). A code converter () is responsive to the first data stream (d), and converts selected parts of the first data stream (d) to a second data stream (d) that has data encoded in a third data format (F). An output decoder () forms playback signals from the second data stream (d). The playback signal may be audio and/or video signals that are presented to the appropriate audio transducer or display device for presentation to a playback apparatus user(s).
