Abstract

A disc recorder containing a compressed data memory for storing compressed audio data to be recorded to a disc or reproduced from a disc. When a reduction pause state is set during reproduction operation, reading out of data from a compressed data memory is limited. Therefore, discontinuity of reproduced audio at the time of pause cancellation is prevented. When a recording pause state is set during recording operation, the compressed data memory is made empty. Therefore, discontinuity of the recording audio is also prevented at the time of pause cancellation.
