<p>The signal (801) of a first code sequence of a predetermined format a part of which is dummy data is sent to a code sequence rewriting means (1802) through a code sequence decomposing means (1801). The signal (806) of a second code sequence with which the part corresponding to the dummy data in the signal (801) is supplemented is sent to the code sequence rewriting means (1802) through a control means (1805), and the dummy data in the first code sequence is rewritten to the second code sequence. For trial viewing/listening, the signal (802) from the code sequence decomposing means (1801) is selected by means of a selector switch (1808). When the second code sequence (806) is acquired by purchase of a content, the signal (803) from the code sequence rewriting means (1802) is selected. Thus trial viewing/listening of a content such as music free of danger of decryption is possible, and a high-quality content can be reproduced by acquiring a relatively small amount of data.</p> |
