The present invention is concerned with an audio equipment capable of processing video signals and a method of displaying operation of the acoustic equipment. An input selector switch 1 is supplied with reproduced audio signals from devices connected to a tuner unit 2 and input terminals 3, and supplies a signal to a sound field processing DSP unit 4. A signal processed by the DSP unit 4 is applied through a muting switch 5 to an output terminal 6. An input selector switch 7 is supplied with reproduced video signals from devices connected to input terminals 8, and supplies a signal to a graphic controller (GDC) 9 which generates a video signal to display an image. One of a signal generated by the GDC 9 and an original video signal are selected by a switch 10, and applied to an output terminal 11. The GDC 9 also generates an image simulating a control panel. When a key switch 13 is operated, the display corresponding to the operated key in the simulating image is varied.
