A radio receiver continues to demodulate a broadcast signal that was modulated with a baseband signal and a data signal to obtain the data signal after the receiver circuitry unassociated with extracting the data signal has been deenergized when the receiver is set in a predetermined mode. As described, the baseband signal has a program content, while the data signal identifies the program content of the baseband signal. In accordance with the present invention, the unassociated receiver circuitry is reenergized to output an amplified baseband signal capable of driving a speaker when the program content of the data signal indicates that a preselected program is starting, and again deenergizes the unassociated receiver circuitry when the program content of the data signal indicates that the preselected program is over.
A signal reproducing apparatus comprising:
A reception apparatus comprising:
A method of controlling a signal reproducing apparatus having a demodulating means, an identifying means, and an amplifying means, the demodulating means demodulating a broadcast signal that was modulated with a baseband signal and a data signal to obtain the baseband signal and the data signal, wherein the baseband signal has a program content and the data signal identifies the program content of the baseband signal, the identifying means identifying the program content in the data signal, the amplifying means amplifying the baseband signal to provide an amplified baseband signal capable of driving an external speaker, the method comprising the steps of:
