Abstract
Abstract An audio/still picture reproducer is disclosed in which picture number corresponding to desired pictures which are to be reproduced from a recording medium are entered at a keypad (16) or the like and sequentially stored, prior to reproduction, in a memory (15) in accordance with the sequence of the reproduction of the desired pictures. During reproduction, video information read from the recording medium (1) and corresponding to the picture numbers stored in the memory is written in a video memory (8) in accordance with the sequence of the storage of the picture numbers in the memory (15). The video information written in the video memory is sequentially and repeatedly read from the video memory and supplied as reproduced video information to e.g. a monitor to produce a still picture. Audio information read from the recording medium is reproduced as is.
