Abstract
After the DVD-Audio () is set and a signal for automatic reproduction is read out, or after a signal for reproduction generated in response to an input operation by a user in an operating section () is recognized, whether image output on a monitor is possible or not is checked. When image output is possible, it is determined that the user can visually recognize images, the data based on the VCAP system is read and reproduced. When it is determined that the image output is not possible, it is determined that the user can not or can hardly recognize images visually, and the data based on the AOP system which can be reproduced without requiring any input operation in the operating section () is read our and reproduced. The processing mode for reproduction is automatically switched according to the user's situation, which insures the improved convenience in use.
