AUDIO OUTPUTTING APPARATUS, VIDEO/AUDIO REPRODUCING APPARATUS AND AUDIO OUTPUTTING METHOD

摘要

An audio outputting apparatus includes a dividing unit (121) that divides an input audio signal into first and second audio signals; a delaying unit (122) that delays the first audio signal relative to the second audio signal by a predetermined amount and outputs the first audio signal as delayed; a frequency adjusting unit (125) that adjusts the frequency band of the second audio signal such that the frequency band of the second audio signal is a higher part of the frequency band of the first audio signal or is higher than the frequency band of the first audio signal; first output units (151,152), located above or below the screen of an image display unit, for outputting the first audio signal received from the delaying unit; and second output units (153,154), located above the horizontal center line of the screen of the display unit, for outputting the second audio signal as adjusted by the frequency adjusting unit.
