Abstract
Abstract An information reproducing device for reproducing a computer program digital data information contained in audio band signals of a video disk and capable of preventing phase disturbance of the digital data information and deterioration of the data reading capacity. The device comprises detecting means for detecting presence of the digital data information including binary signals contained in reproduced audio band signals, and control means for controlling operations of a drop-out compensating circuit in an audio signal reproducing circuit in response to an output of the detecting means when the presence of such digital data information is detected by the detecting means.
