Abstract:
1. A digital information recording-reproducing apparatus which records and reproduces a digital information signal transmitted together with additional information, comprising: a discriminator which discriminates a type of the digital information signal based on the additional information; a recorder which generates control information to be used for reproduction control based on the additional information, adds the control information to the digital information signal, and records the digital information signal having the control information added thereto; a reproducer which reproduces the digital information signal recorded by said recorder; and a controller which controls reproduction based on the control information; wherein, when the discriminator discriminates the type of the digital information signal as being a specific type, the reproducer reproduces the digital information signal only when a time more than a predetermined time does not elapse from the time and date at which the digital information signal is recorded by the recorder.
