Abstract
A digital data replaying apparatus is connected with a display unit, and includes an assisting section which generates a time bar data relating to a contents data in response to a time bar display instruction; and a replaying section which outputs the contents data and the time bar data to the display unit. A time bar is displayed on the display unit based on the time bar data and include a main section showing a replay time of the contents data; a current set of a plurality of segments provided to divide the time bar main section into a preset number; and a pointer icon which is displayed in association with one of the plurality of segments. The assisting section moves the pointer icon in association with the plurality of segments in response to a pointer movement instruction. When one of the plurality of segment is selected as a selection segment, the replaying section outputs the contents data to the display unit from a portion of the contents data corresponding to the selection segment as a replay contents data portion.
