Image display apparatus having audio output control means in accordance with image signal type

Abstract

An image display apparatus capable of automatically controlling an output status for each of audio information signals inputted with image information signals from various different image sources. A first signal input circuit inputs an image information signal and an audio information signal from a personal computer. A second signal input circuit inputs an image information signal and an audio information signal of a television signal. An image selection circuit selects the first or second signal input circuit. An image conversion circuit converts the selected image information signal to a signal having the number of pixels corresponding to a display circuit. An audio signal selection circuit selects the first or second signal input circuit. An audio signal control circuit controls an output status for the input audio signal. An operation device inputs a setting of the image display apparatus, such as luminance, by user's operation. A control circuit controls the selection circuits and the audio signal control circuit, in accordance with the operation device. A memory circuit is used for storing the setting of the image display apparatus set by the user and the output status for the audio signal. The stored contents are read by the controller, and audio output is controlled by the audio signal control circuit.
