A contents reproduction apparatus (e.g. an AV receiver) is connectable to various sources (e.g. audio/video devices) having audio/video contents which are related to predetermined activities (e.g. Listen, Watch, Play) and predetermined sound field options (e.g. Music, Movie, Entertainment) via a sound field table describing a plurality of sound field modes. The contents reproduction apparatus allows the user to arbitrarily select the source, the activity, and the sound field option, thus determining a desired sound field mode via the sound field table. The desired sound field mode is adopted in the signal processing performed on the output signals (e.g. audio signals) of the selected source. Thus, the user is able to select the optimum sound field mode from among various sound field modes with a simple operation without needing to carry out troublesome and complicated operations.
