ABSTRACT:
An audio output apparatus obtains image signals of moving images to be displayed in each window of a display and corresponding audio signals from a plurality of connected external reproduction apparatuses. The obtained image signal is screen-synthesized, and moving pictures are displayed in each window by a multi-window system. When one of the moving pictures is designated by a pointing device out of the plurality of moving pictures which are displayed in the windows, the audio signal corresponding to the designated moving picture is selected from the plurality of audio signals which are obtained from the plurality of external reproduction apparatuses. Only the sound corresponding to the designated moving image can be output by designating a desired image out of the plurality of moving picture display windows. As a result, a user can selectively listen to the sound corresponding to the desired moving picture.
