Information reproducing apparatus with a content reproducing function

摘要

A central processing unit (21) reads management information corresponding to encoded content information to be reproduced from a storage medium (30) and analyzes the management information, thereby creating read control information. Then, the central processing unit (21) supplies the read control information to a digital signal processing unit (25a) via a bus (22). According to the read control information supplied from the central processing unit (21), the digital signal processing unit (25a) accesses a memory directly via the memory interface (25b) and reads out the encoded content information. Then, the digital signal processing unit (25a) decodes the readout encoded content information and outputs the decoded information. <IMAGE>
