DISPLAY APPARATUS FOR RECORDING/REPRODUCING VIDEO SIGNAL AND/OR AUDIO SIGNAL AND METHOD THEREOF

摘要

A display apparatus to store a broadcasting signal or a video signal and/or an audio signal in an external storage medium, and reproduce signals from the external storage medium includes a receiving processor, a controller, and an output unit. The receiving processor receives a video signal and/or an audio signal. The controller stores a video signal and/or an audio signal received using the receiving processor in the external storage medium in real time, if a user requires storage of the received video signal and the audio signal. The controller reproduces the stored video signal and/or audio signal from the external storage medium if the user requires reproduction of the video signal and/or the audio signal stored on the external storage medium. The output unit outputs the reproduced video signal and/or audio signal.
