Abstract: An image processing device is provided with a picture quality mode which is used to collectively set a plurality of the picture qualities by one operation, a user can select the picture quality mode depending on his preference or content of programs to be viewed. A recording portion stores an association table. The association table is a table in which the picture quality mode and sound quality setting values to direct sound quality setting for a sound quality setting portion, are correlated with each other and stored. When a control portion receives a picture quality setting command by a designation of the picture quality mode, the picture quality setting portion performs setting of the respective picture qualities depending on the picture quality mode. Further, the setting direction portion reads out the association table and obtains the sound quality setting values which are correlated with the designated picture quality mode.
