Patent ID: 7558462

Claim:
A reproduction apparatus comprising: frequency clock generation means for generating a recording clock frequency and a reproduction clock frequency; first electronic storage means for storing electronic data; second electronic storage means for storing electronic data; wherein the first electronic storage means utilizes the recording clock frequency to reproduce the electronic data, and wherein the second electronic storage means utilizes reproduction clock frequency to reproduce the electronic data; selection means for selecting either the recording clock frequency or the reproduction clock frequency as a function of user input; converting means for converting the electronic data as a function of the selected clock frequency; and outputting means for outputting the converted, wherein the recording clock frequency and the reproduction clock frequency are generated by dividing a fixed clock frequency according to a predetermined ratio, wherein the predetermined ratio is set according the fixed clock frequency, the recording clock frequency, and the reproduction clock frequency, and wherein the fixed clock frequency is maintained upon generating the recording clock frequency and the reproduction clock frequency so that a waiting period for clock stabilization is removed.
