To reduce a circuit scale and to prevent error generation by comparing the reset time with the time management information of a video decoding means or an audio decoding means and controlling the step-out of video signals and audio signals.
This controller 14 resets the system reference time STC to be the reference time of a system by the time management information PTM in a video decoder 7, compares the reset time with the time management information PTM (DTM) of the video decoder 7 or an audio decoder 11 and controls the step-out of the video signals and the audio signals based on the result. That is, the controller 14 sets the system reference time STC to be the reference time of the system by the time management information PTM in the video decoder 7, compares the reset time with the time management information PTM (DTM) of the video decoder 7 or the audio decoder 11 and matches the timing of the decoding processing of the video signals with the timing of the decoding processing of the audio signals.
