Abstract: Systems which have an integrated unit that allows both television signals and information retrieved from an onboard information storage device to be presented in visual, audio, or visual/audio form via output devices such as television screens and audio speakers. The operating mode--television or stored information retrieval and display--is selected by the user. The user is coached through steps leading to retrieval and presentation of the wanted information if the information retrieval mode is selected. A novel remote control allows the system user to choose the mode of operation and to navigate the steps needed to reach the wanted information from a location convenient to the user.
