ABSTRACT:
A disk player for an optical disk on which recorded are many data blocks having video data and audio data with multi-audio channels. The player includes an audio channel selector for selecting from the multi-audio channels a specific audio channel specified by a system controller The audio data of the selected audio channel is input, via an audio demodulator, to a gain-controlled amplifier whose gain is set by a gain control signal supplied from the system controller. When a request for switching from a first audio channel to a second channel is generated during reproduction of the first audio channel, the system controller controls to fade out the audio output of the first channel and, thereafter, to fade in the audio output of the second channel upon completion of the fading-out of the first audio channel.
