When a certain
signal processing is performed on each of an
image signal and an
audio signal, an object is to correct a
delay of the
signal so as to synchronize the signals. An
image signal processing portion (12, 16) that performs
signal processing on an input
image signal and an input
audio signal, an input signal detecting portion (NS) that stores a signal state of the input image signal or the input
audio signal, an output signal detecting portion (SS) that stores a signal state of the image signal or the audio signal after the
signal processing performed by the image
signal processing portion (12, 16), an image
delay detecting portion (25) and an sound
delay detecting portion (26) that compare the image signal and the audio signal stored in the input signal detecting portion NS with those stored in the output signal detecting portion SS so as to determine
delay time (n) and
delay time (k), a delay correction amount detecting portion (27) that determines delay correction amount (HRV, HRA) with respect to the image signal or the audio signal based on a difference between the
delay time (n) and the delay time (k), a delay correcting portion (13, 17) that corrects a delay of the image signal or the audio signal to be delivered based on the determined delay correction amount, an image output portion (14) that delivers an image, and a sound output portion (18) that delivers sound are provided.
