Abstract
A signal reproducing device of the present invention includes a signal storing device, a buffer memory, and a signal processing circuit. The buffer memory is concurrently provided with a first storing area for storing a head portion of a plurality of sequential signals and a second storing area for storing a remaining portion other than the head portion of one sequential signal. The signal processing circuit starts an operation, when a signal selecting manipulation is made, of reading out and reproducing a head portion of a selected sequential signal from the first storing area, during the operation, reads out a remaining portion of the selected sequential signal from the signal storing device for storage in the second storing area, and, after completion of reproduction of the head portion of the selected sequential signal, reads out and reproduces the remaining portion of the sequential signal from the second storing area.
