The repetitive reading device utilizes buffer stores in which are loaded the video and audio data blocks. The reading of the buffer stores takes place at a reduced speed in order to reconstitute uninterrupted sequences of video and audio data.The invention is more particularly applicable to the storage of pictures on disk with their sound accompaniment with a view, for example, of giving programmed audio-visual instruction or teaching.
