[Prior art]

 Conventionally, for example, when reproducing a CD-G on which a still image is recorded, it is necessary to prepare a dedicated CD player. Such a CD player for CD-G reproduction demodulates a digital signal by CD reproduction into an audio signal by DA conversion, outputs the demodulated audio signal as a line output, and outputs an image signal from the digital signal through a decoder. Then, the RGB encoder outputs it as a color image signal.

When a CD player having such a configuration is made to perform a reproducing operation, an audio signal is demodulated by DA conversion based on the reproduced digital signal and output as an audio signal from the line output terminal of the CD player. At the same time, an image signal is taken out by a decoder based on the reproduced digital signal and is output as a color image signal by an RGB encoder from a video output terminal of a CD player to a TV, a video deck, or the like. As a result, the audio signal is amplified by the amplifier or the like connected to the line output of the CD player, and the reproduced sound is output from the speaker or the like. The image signal is reproduced on a TV screen or magnetically recorded on a video deck.
