Abstract:
1. An apparatus for recording a signal onto a disk apparatus and reproducing the signal recorded onto the disk apparatus, comprising: signal inputting means for inputting the signal; time compression means for compressing the input signal along a time axis per a time T writing means for writing the unit of time compressed writing signal onto the disk apparatus via a head; reading means for reading an arbitrary unit of time compressed writing signal which was previously written onto the disk apparatus, from the disk apparatus via the head to obtain a unit of time compressed reading signal; time decompression means for decompressing the unit of time compressed reading signal along the time axis so as to obtain a decompressed signal for reproduction; and control means for controlling the writing means and the reading means such that a period during which the unit of time compressed writing signal is written onto the disk does not overlap with a period during which the unit of time compressed reading signal is read from the disk apparatus, wherein the time T
