Abstract

A reproduction and display method for a reproduction and display apparatus having a display device that displays video information and are production device that reproduces a recording medium on which at least video information to be displayed on the display device is recorded. The method includes judging whether or not a recording medium loaded on the reproduction device is a recording medium on which video information is recorded, activating the display device that is not in an activated state, when it is judged that the recording medium is a recording medium on which video information is recorded, and displaying the video information recorded on the recording medium, on the activated display device.

Claims

1. A reproduction display apparatus comprising:

a display device that displays video information;

a reproduction device that reproduces a recording medium on which at least video information to be displayed on the display device is recorded; and

a control section which, when it is judged that a recording medium loaded on the reproduction device is a recording medium on which such video information is recorded, activates the display device that is not in an activated state.

4. A reproduction display apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the reproduction device is capable of reproducing a recording medium on which only information other than such video information is recorded.

2. A reproduction display apparatus comprising:

a display device that is disposed to be movable inside and outside a case fixed to a vehicle;

a reproduction device that reproduces a recording medium on which at least video information to be displayed on the display device is recorded;

a moving section which moves the display device to inside and outside of the case; and

a control section which, when it is judged that a recording medium loaded on the reproduction device is a recording medium on which such video information is recorded, controls the moving section to move the display device that is housed in the case to outside of the case.

3. A reproduction display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, when it is failed to again judge that the recording medium loaded on the reproduction device is a recording medium on which such video information is recorded during a predetermined time period after loading of the recording medium on which such video information is recorded is cancelled, the control section controls the moving section to move the display device that is moved outside of the case to inside of the case.

5. A reproduction display apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the reproduction device is capable of reproducing a recording medium on which only information other than such video information is recorded.

6. A reproduction display method for a reproduction display apparatus having a display device that displays video information;

and a reproduction device that reproduces a recording medium on which at least video information to be displayed on the display device is recorded, the method comprising;

judging whether or not a recording medium loaded on the reproduction device is a recording medium on which video information is recorded;

activating the display device that is not in an activated state, when it is judged that the recording medium is a recording medium on which video information is recorded; and

displaying the video information recorded on the recording medium, on the activated display device.

7. A reproduction display method for a reproduction display apparatus having a display device that is disposed to be movable inside and outside a case fixed to a vehicle;

and a reproduction device that reproduces a recording medium on which at least video information to be displayed on the display device is recorded, the method comprising;

judging whether or not a recording medium loaded on the reproduction device is a recording medium on which video information is recorded;

moving the display device that is housed in the case, to outside of the case, when it is judged that the recording medium is a recording medium on which video information is recorded; and

displaying the video information recorded on the recording medium, on the moved display device.
