1. An apparatus comprising:
- reproducing means for reproducing image information recorded on a medium;
detecting means for detecting arrival of a call from a communication line;
control means for suspending a reproducing operation performed by said reproducing means when said detecting means detects the arrival of a call and outputting image information corresponding to the call; and
supplying means for supplying real time image information whereinsaid control means synthesizes the real time image information from said supplying means and image information corresponding to the call when said detecting means detects the call.

Abstract
At the start of a communication, a video and audio output other than the communication is automatically turned off. When a handset is off-hooked or the operation to start the communication is performed by an operation apparatus, a communication control circuit switches a change-over switch to an a contact and turns off a disconnecting switch. When the handset is on-hooked or the operation to finish the communication is executed by the operation apparatus, the communication control circuit switches the change-over switch to a b contact and turns on the disconnecting switch.
