Abstract
An optical disc apparatus that reproduces images from an optical disc by reading image data from the optical disc and displaying images based on the image data read from the optical disc. When the optical disc apparatus reproduces images from an optical disc, the apparatus performs a preparation operation for reproduction of images from the optical disc. During the preparation operation, a controller sequentially displays different types of initial images as time passes. For example, the first initial image, which is to be displayed first of the initial images, is an image indicating the type of the optical disc as well as showing the name of the manufacturer of the optical disc apparatus. The second and third initial images are a scenic image and an image showing a message to a user, respectively.
