Abstract
An FM multiplex broadcasting receiving apparatus includes a decoder for decoding multiplexed data from the received multiplex broadcasting, a CPU for writing the decoded content to RAM, a display unit for displaying the content stored in the RAM, an auto-mode switch for switching method of display of the information displayed on the display unit, and an audio signal reproducing circuit for selectively reproducing only the audio information from FM multiplex broadcasting. When the auto-mode switch is off, display corresponding to the audio sound reproduced by the audio signal reproducing circuit is given on the display unit. If the auto-mode switch is on, the display unit successively displays the contents of the information stored in the RAM, regardless of the audio sound reproduced by the audio signal reproducing circuit. Namely, by turning on the auto-mode switch, the user can see all the information stored, without any operation.
