摘要

The present invention relates to a recording/reproducing apparatus which records an effective transmit information signal on a recording medium (28) in a high-efficiency coded form and decodes the high-efficiency coded signal read from the recording medium (28) to recover the original information signal. At the time of recording or dubbing of the recovered information signal on another recording medium (28), the information signal, a control signal indicating whether or not the information signal has been subjected to high-efficiency coding and decoding processes and a specific signal indicating a specific value used in the high-efficiency coding and decoding processes when the information signal has been subjected to the high-efficiency coding and decoding processes are transmitted, thereby preventing the deterioration of data due to the high-efficiency coding. <IMAGE>
