METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING REPRODUCTION OF AUDIO/VISUAL DATA

摘要

A reproduction apparatus and a method for controlling the reproduction of the audio/visual data in the apparatus includes: providing at least one input element selectable by a user to execute a predetermined function on a reproduction control screen so that the user controls the reproduction of the audio/visual data; and when the input element is selected by the reproduction apparatus, determining whether the input element is available with respect to information about the input element, and selecting the input element if the input element is available. Accordingly, a user can stably perform menu navigation regardless of conditions.
