A video and audio reproduction device comprising:

• a division unit for dividing an input audio signal into a first audio signal and a second audio signal;
• a delay processing unit for outputting the first audio signal after delaying the first audio signal from the second audio signal by a predetermined amount;
• a frequency adjustment unit for adjusting a frequency band of the second audio signal to be a high frequency band of the first audio signal or a frequency band higher than the first audio signal;
• a first output unit provided above or below a screen of a display unit for displaying an image, for outputting the first audio signal input from the delay processing unit;
• and
• a second output unit provided above a middle height of the screen of the display unit, for outputting the second audio signal adjusted by the frequency adjustment unit.
