ABSTRACT:
A digital audio signal reproducing apparatus is adapted for reproducing digital audio data at a constant data rate by reading digital audio signals recorded on a recording medium after bit compression, in which the compressed data are read out from the recording medium and written in the memory when the volume of the non-read-out data in the memory becomes lower than a predetermined volume. The reading out of data from the memory is discontinued when it becomes impossible to write data in the memory in order to establish a standby state by way of performing a memory control. Upon actuation of a pause key, the reading out of data from the memory is discontinued. Upon releasing the actuation of the pause key, the readout operation from the memory is re-initiated. Even when the reading out of the recording data from the recording medium proceeds such that data can no longer be written in the memory, the reading out of data from the recording medium is discontinued by the above-described memory control for establishing the standby state if the pause key is actuated. Since audio playback is restarted on releasing the pause key, data playback is initiated instantaneously.
