Abstract
An apparatus and a method for controlling video/audio modes in a video/audio outputting apparatus is provided, in which the audio mode is automatically set in relation to the video mode selected by the user. A judgment is made whether an inputted working command code is a video mode code or an audio mode code. If the working command code thus judged is a video mode code, then it is judged whether it is a custom mode, a standard mode, a movie mode, a dynamic mode or a mild mode. Then a value is set to the video mode code thus judged, and at the same time, a value is set to the audio mode. Meanwhile, if the working command code thus judged is a an audio mode code, then it is judged as to whether it is a custom mode, a standard mode, a movie mode, a music mode or a soft mode. Then a value is set to the audio mode code thus judged. Therefore, according to the invention, when a user watches pictures and listens to sounds and only selects the video mode, the video signals are processed according to the selected video mode, while at the same time the audio signals are automatically processed in an audio mode corresponding to the selected video mode.
