Abstract: According to one embodiment, an image display apparatus includes a communication module, an acquisition module, an identification module, and a determination module. The communications module receives and transmits call information with communications equipment connected to the communications module through a network, the call information indicating information to communicate with the communications equipment. The acquisition module acquires environmental information representing an external environment of the image display apparatus. The identification module identifies personal information indicating a person existing in the environment or age information indicating an age of a person existing in the environment from the environmental information.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a video reproducing apparatus generates bookmark data and stores it in a hard disk drive or the like. The bookmark data has first restoration information for restoring the reproduction status when video contents were reproduced using moving image/sound data contained in video content data for reproducing the video contents, and second restoration information for restoring the reproduction status when content-related data reproduced in relation to the video contents was reproduced.

Abstract: The invention provides a reproducing apparatus with which a user can confirm a selection situation about video output terminals before or in connection between an external video-displaying portion and the reproducing apparatus, and can suitably perform the connection between them. Before a reproducing apparatus (1) is connected to a TV apparatus (30) or (31), to which of video terminals a terminal through which a video signal is to be outputted corresponds is visually displayed on a displaying portion (100) provided in a front panel (10) of the front of a main body, whereby even in case of the reproducing apparatus including a plurality of video output terminals, a user can readily and reliably connect a video cable.
