Abstract
A content playing device that displays multiple contents including scheduled-distribution contents is disclosed. Multiple player units include a moving picture player unit that, when receiving a start-to-prepare command, performs playback preparation processing based on the type of contents, moves into a wait state, and downloads at least scheduled-distribution contents from an external device that is connected through communications. The controller, according to the start of playback timing for contents, outputs a start-to-prepare command to the player units, and at the start of playback timing, outputs a start of playback command to the player units.
