Recording/reproducing apparatus for recording/reproducing a serial information stream of AN signals comprising packets of information signals, such as MPEG Transport Packets, on/from a recording medium. The apparatus comprises time stamping means for time stamping received information packets in accordance with a time stamping clock reference, writing means for recording the information packets in accordance with a write clock reference and reading means for reproducing the information packets in accordance with a read clock reference. All clock references are derived from a single crystal clock reference. The read clock reference has a frequency equal to the frequency of the single crystal clock reference, which frequency is an integer multiple of the frequency of the write clock reference. The time stamp clock reference has a frequency derived from the single crystal clock reference by digital counter means.
Recording/reproducing apparatus having receiving means for receiving an information signal, the received information signal comprising packets of information signals that occur regularly as a function of time in a serial data stream of the received information signal, time stamping means for time stamping the packets comprised in the received information signal employing a time stamp clock reference, writing means for recording the time stamped packets in at least one track of a record carrier, employing a write clock reference for synchronizing the writing means, and reading means linked with detector means for reproducing the recorded time stamped information signal from at least one track of the record carrier employing a read clock reference for sampling the recorded information signal, characterized in that, the apparatus comprises clock generating means with a single reference crystal for generating the clock reference signals.
