Reproducing apparatus and method for automatically converting output mode based on movements of casing
First Claim
1. A reproducing apparatus having a first casing couple to a second casing, comprising:
- an internal output unit to output reproduced audio;
an external output unit to output the reproduced audio to an external device;
a detector to detect movements of the second casing relative to the first casing; and
a control unit to control the transmission of the reproduced audio to at least one of the internal output unit and the external output unit based on the detection, by the detector, of the movement of the second casing relative to the first casing.

Abstract
A reproducing apparatus for automatically converting an output mode based on movements of a casing, and methods thereof. A reproducing apparatus having a first and a second casings includes an internal output unit outputting at least one of reproduced audio and video; an external output unit outputting at least one of the reproduced audio and video to an external device casing; a detector detecting movements of the second casing; and a control unit controlling such that at least one reproduced audio and video is outputted to at least one of the internal output unit and the external output unit. Accordingly, there is no need for a user to change the output mode, thereby reducing inconvenience for the user.
