An apparatus and method are provided for use with a system including a digital data base for storing digitized images and digitized audio messages, for controlling concurrent reproduction of digitized images on an image reproduction device and audio information on a sound reproduction device. The digitized images are stored as image data files in the digital data base. Likewise, the digitized audio messages are stored as audio data files in the data base. Audio messages and images are associated with each other. This is accomplished by means of a presentation sequences file stored in the data base or in a separate EEPROM memory. In response to a user command, a controller causes image data and audio data for a selected image and an accompanying audio message to be read from the data base. The respective data are provided to the image reproduction device and the sound reproduction device, respectively, whereby the audio message is played back by the sound reproduction device as the image is displayed on the image reproduction device. A controller maintains the display of the image for the duration of the audio message. The controller reads a sequence of images and audio messages from the data base and displays each image and plays back one or more associated audio messages in turn.
