This invention relates to a method (and corresponding system) for providing location-aware media information and more specifically a method for providing location-aware audio content by an audio-presenting device capable of presenting audio content. On the audio source () comprising processing means () one or more sensors (), may be positioned in order to locate the position(s) of one or more audio-presenting devices attached, close, or distant to said audio source. The sensors are used by receiving signal(s) to determine the location of the available audio-presenting devices. The audio-presenting device's () location relative to the user's working position&#x2014;in front of the display device ()&#x2014;may be estimated by the audio source () and thereby provides information items to the audio-presenting devices () by the method according to the present invention so as to provide desired sound signals.

An audio/video set is operated with hierarchical menus. It displays a menu string of first items in a first coordinate direction on the screen and detects a user selecting an item thereamong. Upon so detecting, the set displays a menu string of second items in a coordinate direction transverse to the first direction and through the selected item. It detects user selection among the second items for activating an associated television functionality. It displays the items in a bulletized manner as annotated by supporting indicativity.
