A communication terminal apparatus receives a management signal at a bit rate A and a data signal at a bit rate B (B=A×M) through the same line. The communication terminal apparatus includes a signal regenerating unit, a management signal converting unit, a timing control unit, and a data signal obtaining unit. The signal regenerating unit regenerates a signal transmitted through the line as a signal of a bit rate C (C=A×N). The management signal converting unit converts N bits of the regenerated signal into the management signal of one bit. The timing control unit controls timing for obtaining a data signal based on the management signal. The data signal obtaining unit obtains the data signal according to timing control of the timing control unit.
