ABSTRACT:
A method for displaying the used time of a video processing apparatus. If the power of the video processing apparatus is turned on, the total used time of the video processing apparatus is read from a memory and the presently elapsing time is counted accumulatively to the read total used time. Then, the total used time accumulatively counted up to the present is displayed for a predetermined time period. When the predetermined time period has elapsed, the total used time display operation is stopped and it is checked whether a used time display function is turned on by the user. If the used time display function is turned on by the user, the total used time accumulatively counted up to the present time is displayed and it is checked whether the used time display function is turned off by the user. If the used time display function is turned off by the user, the total used time display operation is stopped and it is checked whether the power of the video processing apparatus is turned off. Also, if the used time display function is not turned on by the user, it is checked whether the power of the video processing apparatus is turned off. When the power of the video processing apparatus is turned off, the total used time accumulatively counted up to the present time is stored in the memory.
