Abstract:
A signal recording/reproducing apparatus, comprising:an input processing circuit for performing an input process on a signal externally fetched so as to output a first signal for a parameter having any one of N different parameter qualities; a recorder for recording said first signal outputted from said input processing circuit to an unloadably loaded recording medium recorded with a second signal for said parameter having a parameter quality different from said N parameter qualities; a reproducer for reproducing one of said first signal and said second signal from said recording medium; a quality detector for detecting a parameter quality of a signal reproduced by said reproducer; an output processing circuit for performing output processing on said reproduced signal so as to output a signal for said parameter having any one of M different parameter qualities; and an enabler for enabling any one of M output processing modes based on a result of detection by said quality detector, wherein said N and said M are positive integers that satisfy N
