Abstract

An apparatus and method for reproducing data from a recording medium includes a reproducing unit reproducing data from a medium, each data including an identification number corresponding to said each data; a decoder including an internal memory, storing the data from the reproducing unit in the internal memory, decoding the data stored in the internal memory, and generating a first signal indicating that the internal memory is full; and a controller receiving the first signal from the decoder, generating a jump signal to the reproducing unit based on the first signal to move a reader of the reproducing unit from the current position to a predetermined prior position on the medium, generating a second signal to the decoder for instructing the decoder to stop storing the data from the reproducing unit, and generating a third signal when the reader reaches the current position on the disc from the predetermined initial position. The third signal instructs the decoder to resume its storing process in the internal memory of the decoder.
