Abstract

A reproduction apparatus is disclosed. A display section displays a screen. A reproduction section reproduces a video signal recorded on a record medium. A display control section selects one of three display screens. A first display screen displays a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section and information about the video signal in different areas. A second display screen displays setup states of a plurality of keys as a key set that are capable of selecting a plurality of functions, and a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section in different areas. A third display screen displays only a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section.

Claims

1. A reproduction apparatus, comprising:

a display section that displays a screen;

a reproduction section that reproduces a video signal recorded on a record medium; and

a display control section that selects one display screen of a first display screen, a second display screen, and a third display screen and causes the display section to display the selected display screen, the first display screen displaying a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section and information about the video signal in different areas, the second display screen displaying setup states of a plurality of keys as a key set that are capable of selecting a plurality of functions, a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section in different areas, the third display screen displaying only a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section.

2. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1,

wherein the display control section causes the display section to display at least the first display screen of the first display screen, the second display screen, and the third display screen as a default screen.

3. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1,

wherein the display control section causes the display section to display the second display screen when at least one of the plurality of keys that compose the key set is operated.

4. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1,

wherein the display control section causes the display section to switchably display the first screen and the third screen with the same operation.

5. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

a panel on which the key set and the display section are adjacently disposed,

wherein the display control section causes the display section to display information about the functions of the plurality of keys that compose the key set corresponding to positions of the plurality of keys.

6. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1,

wherein the display control section successively switches the display screen in the order of the first display screen, the second display screen, and the third display screen.

7. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1, further comprising:

a selection section that selects one of the functions of the key set,

wherein the display control section causes the display section to display the second display screen corresponding to an operation of the selection section.

8. The reproduction apparatus as set forth in claim 1,

wherein the display control section stores screen information that denotes a pre-switched display screen,

wherein when a command that causes the pre-switched display screen to be displayed is issued, the pre-switched display screen is displayed corresponding to the stored screen information.

9. A display method of a reproduction apparatus that has a display section, the display method comprising the steps of:

selecting one display screen of a first display screen, a second display screen, and a third display screen, the first display screen displaying a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section and information about the video signal in different areas, the second display screen displaying setup states of a plurality of keys as a key set that are capable of selecting a plurality of functions, a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section in different areas, the third display screen displaying only a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section; and

displaying the selected display screen on the display section.

10. A display program that causes a computer device to execute a display method of a reproduction apparatus that has a display section, the display method comprising the steps of:

selecting one display screen of a first display screen, a second display screen, and a third display screen, the first display screen displaying a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section and information about the video signal in different areas, the second display screen displaying setup states of a plurality of keys as a key set that are capable of selecting a plurality of functions, a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section in different areas, the third display screen displaying only a picture corresponding to an externally input video signal or corresponding to a video signal that is reproduced by the reproduction section; and

displaying the selected display screen on the display section.
