Abstract
An audio/video (A/V) device and a method of controlling the operation thereof, which visualize operation states in or among AN devices into a flow of content. The A/V device includes an on screen display (OSD) processing unit to OSD process information, and a control unit to control the OSD processing unit so that the OSD processing unit OSD processes a plurality of modules constituting the A/V device and functions thereof. Accordingly, it is possible for a user to easily recognize operations in and among the A/V devices, which provides convenient operation to the user.
Claims137
