A control device for a hybrid vehicle which enables an appropriate electrical control based on the usable electrical energy stored in the battery device. In this control device, in step S357, in which it is determined whether the value of an energy storage zone B flag F_ ESZONEB is “1”. When the result of the determination is “Yes”, the operation proceeds to step S358. In step in step S358, the WOT assist amount lowest coefficient KQBWOASTL, which increases as the use-permission zone PECAPFIB of the state of charge SOC increases, is retrieved from a table. In step in step S359, the WOT assist amount coefficient,KQBWOAST, which increases from the lowest table value KQBWOASTL to a predetermined highest value as the state of charge SOC increases, is retrieved from a table, and a value obtained by multiplying the WOT assist command WOTAST and the WOT assist amount coefficient KQBWOAST retrieved from the table is newly set as the WOT assist command WOTAST.

In a reproducing apparatus capable of displaying text subtitles in synchronization with an AV stream, before the AV stream is reproduced, text subtitle streams and font information are read into a preload buffer section (122, 123) in a sequence determined by a priority language setting section (131), and subtitle images are generated from the text subtitle streams and font information and displayed overlaid on the image information of the AV stream. Even if a preload buffer section with a small memory size is used, when the text subtitle language is switched, the text subtitle display can be switched smoothly, with little likelihood of interrupting the audio-video display.

A control device for a vehicle drive apparatus that includes a differential mechanism and an electric motor provided in the differential mechanism, which can be miniaturized in structure with improved fuel economy and enabling suppression of occurrence in switching shocks. With a provision of a switching clutch or a switching brake, a shifting mechanism is placed in either a continuously variable shifting state or a step variable shifting state. During a shifting of an automatic shifting portion, an engaging control variable control alters a method of learning an engaging pressure. This allows a rotation speed of a transmitting member to achieve a given variation during the shifting, depending on a continuously variable shifting state and a non-continuously variable shifting state, for thereby providing a balance between an improvement in a feeling and a suppressing of shifting shocks.
