A reproduction apparatus and a content information reproduction method for
simultaneous reproduction from two recording media and instantaneous
audio switching. A frequency-division section and another
frequency-division section each frequency-divide a master clock provided
by an oscillation section at a predetermined frequency-division ratio so
as to generate clocks. A hard disk uses the clocks coming from the
frequency division section as a basis to reproduce audio/visual AV) data,
and an optical disk uses the clocks coming from the frequency-division
section as a basis to reproduce the AV data. In response to a user's
instruction, when audio switching is performed for output to a speaker, a
clock selection section switches a clock to be supplied to a D/A
converter into the clock provided by the frequency-division section, or
the clock provided by the frequency-division section.
