AUDIO PROCESSING APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an audio processing apparatus for discriminating consecutive encoding in units of received audio frame or temporarily stopping the encoding, when the intensity of a received radio wave of digital broadcasting is decreased so as to perform re-encoding, wherein noise audio due to a decode error is eliminated. SOLUTION: An audio data output section 6 shifts a data output state in a framing unit to a data output pause state, before the arrival in a strength threshold of the received radio wave wherein predetermined decode reproduction by a decode section 4 is disabled, depending on the detection of the radio wave intensity by an input detection section 2, and shifts an encoding state of a recording section 20, while keeping the synchronization state for a period, as it is, during which the radio wave intensity is decreased.
