- the audio data reproduced at the fast playback speed and output from the playback unit 236 to the audio signal processing unit 239 is compared with the audio data reproduced at the standard playback speed as described above.
- the amount of data per second increases.
- the pitch period P of the audio data reproduced at the fast playback speed becomes shorter than the pitch period P of the audio data reproduced at the standard reproduction speed. Therefore, when the audio data reproduced at the fast-viewing reproduction speed is output without being subjected to the speed conversion process, the viewer listens to the sound whose pitch is increased as the pitch period P is shortened. Also, the voice is too fast, making it difficult for the viewer to grasp the contents of the voice data.
- the audio signal processing unit 239 performs the audio so that the silent part is shortened and the unvoiced part and the voiced part are lengthened in accordance with the fast playback speed during playback at the fast playback speed. Adjust the data. As a result, the voice speed is reduced, and the viewer can grasp the contents of the voice data relatively easily.

Therefore, if the display device 21 and the eyeglass device 3 perform the same operation as during normal playback and quick-playback, the viewer can see a two-dimensional image. At this time, the mode control signal 242 described with reference to FIG. 3 is not necessary. On the other hand, by connecting the mode control signal 242, it is possible to present an image without parallax to the viewer while the stereoscopic image signal with parallax is output from the adjustment unit 238.

視聴者が、リモートコントローラ25を操作し、制御信号を画像再生装置23へ送信すると、制御部235は、制御信号に基づき、高速再生の指示がなされたか否かを判定する。制御部235が高速再生の指示がなされたと判定すると、ステップS110が実行される。制御部235が高速再生の指示がなされていないと判定すると、ステップS120が実行される。
制御部235が、高速再生の指示がなされたと判定すると、制御部235は、バス240を介して、再生部236、画像信号処理部237、調整部238、媒体制御部234及び画像生成部241を制御し、記憶媒体233に記憶されたコンテンツデータを高速再生速度で再生する。
ステップ100において、制御信号が高速再生を指示していないと判定するとき、ステップ120が実行される。ステップ120において、制御部235は、制御信号が早見再生速度でのコンテンツデータの再生を指示しているか否かを判定する。制御部235が、早見再生速度での再生の指示がなされたと判定すると、ステップ130が実行される。制御部235が、早見再生速度での再生の指示がなされていないと判定すると、ステップ140が実行される。
