Audio apparatus and control method

摘要

An audio apparatus comprising a speaker (70) to output an audio signal, comprises an audio signal receiver (10) for receiving an input audio signal; a signal processor (30) for processing the input audio signal and providing an output audio signal; an audio connection terminal (50) to which the output audio signal processed in the signal processor (30) is provided; and a controller (90) for determining whether an external device is connected to the audio connection terminal (50) and controlling the signal processor (30) to output the audio signal to the audio connection terminal (50) without being output to the speaker when it is determined that the external device is connected to the audio connection terminal (50). Thus, the present invention provides an audio apparatus which is capable of improving sound quality of an output audio signal by selectively outputting the audio signal, and a control method thereof.
