Claims
- 1. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information, comprising:
- means for reading a recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein said default value is recorded at a table of contents (TOC) information recording portion provided at said start point of said information recording medium; and
- means for generating data representative of the digital data recorded on the recording medium.
- 2. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information, comprising:
- means for reading a recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein said information recording medium has a plurality of tracks, each recording said digital data of said plural channels, and said default value is further recorded at a track header portion of each of said tracks; and
- means for generating data representative of the digital data recorded on the recording medium.
- 3. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information, comprising:
- means for reading a recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein said digital data comprises at least one kind of video data, audio data and superimpose data, each kind of data having said plural channels time-division multiplexed recorded in the track, and said default value is recorded to designate said synthesis method for said plural channels of each kind of said video data, said audio data and said superimpose data; and
- means for generating data representative of the digital data recorded on the recording medium.
- 4. A reproducing apparatus for reproducing information, comprising:
- means for reading a recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein the default value indicates a synthesis method for synthesizing data of fewer than all of the plural channels; and
- means for generating data representative of the digital data recorded on the recording medium.
- 5. A reproducing method for reproducing information, comprising the step of:
- reproducing information from a recording medium, the recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein said default value is recorded at a table of contents (TOC) information recording portion provided at said start point of said information recording medium.
- 6. A reproducing method for reproducing information, comprising:
- reproducing information from a recording medium, the recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein said information recording medium has a plurality of tracks, each recording said digital data of said plural channels, and said default value is further recorded at a track header portion of each of said tracks.
- 7. A reproducing method for reproducing information, comprising:
- reproducing information from a recording medium, the recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein said digital data comprises at least one kind of video data, audio data and superimpose data, each kind of data having said plural channels time-division multiplexed recorded in the track, and said default value is recorded to designate said synthesis method for said plural channels of each kind of said video data, said audio data and said superimpose data.
- 8. A reproducing method for reproducing information, comprising:
- reproducing information from a recording medium, the recording medium including a recording surface having a track on which different types of digital data, each type of digital data having plural channels, are time-division multiplexed recorded, wherein a default value indicative of a synthesis method for how data of said plural channels is to be synthesized, in the absence of any instruction from an operator, is recorded at one or both of a start point of said information recording medium or on said track, wherein the default value indicates a synthesis method for synthesizing data of fewer than all of the plural channels.
