RECORDING AND REPRODUCING METHOD AND APPARATUS

摘要

A method can record or reproduce a digital audio signal and a digital video signal simuitaneously. An N-bit (N: Positive integer) digital audio signal is positioned at a higiler bit side and an M-bit (M: Positive integer) digital video signal is positioned at a lower bit side so as to form an (N+M)-bit digital signal which is recorded or reproduced in this condition. Since the digital video signal is Positioned at the lower bit side. the digital video signal may not affect the reproduced audio signal even if the (N+M)-bit digital signal is Processed as the digital audio signal in the reproducing process.
