Abstract

Playback method for use in an apparatus for playing a recording medium having a lead-in area, a first area in which only a coded information signal is recorded, and a second area in which a video format signal and a coded information signal are recorded by using a multiplexing operation. The method is characterized by the operations of reading information recorded in the lead-in area in response to a command, moving an information reading point of the pickup to the first area of the recording medium when subcode picture presence information, which indicates that a graphic code including picture information is inserted in a subcode of the coded information signal, is detected from information recovered from the lead-in area, and reproducing information of the first area preferentially to other areas of the recording medium.
