摘要:
A method of recording and reproducing a video format signal on and from a recording medium, wherein the video format signal is reproduced on a two-dimensional picture area divided into sections having predetermined identification numbers respectively allocated thereto, the sections consisting of at least one section for inserting sound information, at least one section for inserting control information and remaining sections for inserting picture information. The control information contains pieces of information indicative of the identification number of the section into which the sound information is to be inserted. The sound and control information is recorded on the recording medium in the form of binary codes each consisting of a predetermined number of bits, each of which is modulated to have its level inverted between every adjacent two bits before the bit is recorded on the recording medium. An occurrence of a burst error is detected through detection of non-inverted bits in the aforesaid binary codes during reproduction of the picture and sound information.
