PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To give no sense of incongruity to a user at the cutting of TV commercials when a disk storage medium is used. SOLUTION: In the television broadcast, a section AB before the CM section is repeated as the section CD after the CM section (A). The characteristic information of the predetermined range before and after the CM section detected on the basis of an audio signal format is detected, for example, by the frame to find out the range where the characteristic information is matched before and after the CM section. The characteristic information is formed, for example, by the information combining the scene change point and silent section. The range where the characteristic information is matched before and after the CM section is defined as the repeated section. Information of the detected CM section and repeated section is stored, for example, in the TOC area of the storage medium. In reproducing operation, one of the CM section and repeated section is not read, based on these pieces of information (C). Since any sense of incongruity is never given to a user because the repeated section is not reproduced continuously.
