A subcode-data generating circuit generates subcode data including subcode component data which indicates any one of time information and information other than the time information. This circuit includes a first generating portion for automatically generating the subcode component data in the case where the subcode component data indicates the time information, a second generating portion for automatically generating the subcode component data in the case where the subcode component data indicates the information other than the time information, and a selecting portion which selects one of the outputs of the first and second generating portions.
