A record carrier carries a stereo signal and a data signal which includes a first data portion and a remaining data portion. A first channel on the record carrier includes a composite signal which is obtained by combining the stereo signal and the first data portion. A second channel on the record carrier includes the remaining data portion of the data signal. The stereo signal and the data signal are recorded to and reproduced from the record carrier using a recording apparatus and a reproducing apparatus.
