A contents reproducing apparatus includes a main CPU, and in a radio mode, the main CPU causes a DSP to decode broadcast data included in a radio packet signal input via a LAN controller, and decoded PCM data is input to a D/A conversion circuit. Consequently, a sound of Internet radio broadcasting is output from a speaker. Then, when there is a telephone call, the main CPU switches to a telephone mode. That is, receiving speech data included in a telephone packet signal input via the LAN controller is decoded by the DSP, and decoded PCM data is input to a PCM codec. Consequently, a receiving speech sound is output from a speaker of a receiver. It is noted that in a case that a radio program during reception is a pay program, the main CPU does not switch to the telephone mode.
