A security equipment for audio apparatus which releases a security operation based on a result of a comparison between a read in TOC information and a previously stored TOC information, the security equipment stopping a judgement on the TOC information when a failure is detected in the disk or the equipment for reproducing the disk (R1-4) at the time of reading in the TOC information.
