A digital reproducing apparatus for reproducing a recorded digital video signal from a recording medium as an analog video signal and outputting the analog video signal, comprising: reproducing means for reproducing the recorded digital video signal and copyright information which is recorded along with the digital video signal, said copyright information selectively indicating whether the reproduced digital video signal is copy-protected, video signal processing means (6) for processing the reproduced digital video signal and outputting a digital luminance signal, a first digital color difference signal, and a second digital color difference signal, detecting means (33) for detecting whether the reproduced digital video signal is copy-protected in response to the reproduced copyright information, signal modifying means (37) for modifying at least the digital luminance signal output from the video signal processing means(6) so as to protect an analog video signal derived from the digital video signal from being copied when the digital video signal is detected as being copy-protected; signal converting means (38-44) for converting the modified digital luminance signal, the first digital color difference signal, and the second digital color difference signal into a first video output signal of an analog composite output format and a second video output signal of an output format other than said analog composite output format; and signal outputting means (49-58) for separately outputting said first video output signal and said second video output signal. <IMAGE> |
