Abstract

A recording medium reproducing device comprises: reading means using a pickup to read data from a recording medium, and outputting the data thus read; memory control means for controlling the output data of the reading means to store the data in a memory; reproducing means for reading data from the memory and converting the data into a reproducing signal; and a microcomputer for controlling the reproducing means. In the reproducing device, the microcomputer varies a threshold value set for the memory, according to the time of absence or the frequency of absence of the output data of the reading means. Thus, the reproducing device eliminates the difficulty that the user feels unpleasant because of the frequent pause of sound reproduction.
