Abstract: A plurality of identification miniature images for to-be-replayed objects is displayed simultaneously on a manipulating-function menu screen with taking one of the to-be-replayed objects corresponding to one of the identification miniature images in a predetermined position as a to-be-replayed object of interest. There are displayed a first group of a plurality of manipulating-function items for the respective to-be-replayed objects and a second group of a plurality of manipulating-function items related to a plurality of to-be-replayed objects. While any one of the manipulating-function items included in the first group is being selected, the identification miniature image corresponding to the to-be-replayed object of interest is displayed for differentiation from the other identification miniature images.

Abstract: When a predetermined operation is made of a remote commander while moving picture data read from a storage unit and decoded is being displayed on a display screen, a thumbnail of a reproduced image being displayed on the display screen and a plurality of thumbnails near the reproduced image displayed on the display screen are displayed being superposed on the reproduced image. Information on edit points indicating the position of image data corresponding to ones, designated by the remote commander, of the plurality of thumbnails displayed on the display screen is added to the moving picture data, and the data is stored into the storage unit. Thus, it is possible to set IN and OUT points as edit points elaborately and easily for edition of moving picture data.

Abstract: A composite apparatus and associated methods are provided. The composite apparatus has a first function device section, a second function device section, and a remote controller section for remotely controlling the first function device section and the second function device section. An operation button double assigned with a remote control function of a specific second function group of other operation button, in the operation button group of the first function device section of the remote controller for remote control, the remote controlling function assigned to the operation button can be changed to further another remote controlling function. When a plurality of controlling functions are set to be switchable, all the plurality of the controlling functions are made to be available, for the operation button of the remote controller.
