Abstract
When an emphasis setting of a next track is different from that of a current track, a silent signal having the emphasis setting of the next track written in its subcode information is output for a predetermined time prior to reproduction of the next track. The emphasis setting is changed for the next track while the silent signal is being output, so that the next track can be reproduced appropriately without involving an unwanted lack in its leading portion.
